If you could get an error, I'd have an easier time fixing it.

I didn't think of grabbing an error if there was one, no.

Did you get a console error?

Having issues that when doing this mission and failing, your rep KEEPS going down. Like -20000, then keeps ticking until you're at war and the worst rep with that faction.

Should be better now.

Actually, I have an idea.

Yeah I guess I could nerf mineral madness / scrap scramble.

Even if I halved the reward, that's still 2.5 billion though.

Just so you know pairing this mission with mineral madness is a little broken I did 3 runs of it and cleaned the area out and made 5 and a half billion in a single sweep by taking this mission and waiting 30 minutes. (I have a mod that doubles asteroid size but thats still 6 missions to 5.5B credits)

Just was sharing my thoughts, thank you for letting me know can add mid game.

As always, you do a great job with these mods, thank you!

(Also I already made the update I was talking about making like 10 days ago)

This mission can be added halfway through a playthrough, yes. I don't think abuse of the sector after failing confers that many gameplay benefits. It's more of a thematic thing. If a faction kicks you out of a sector, imo it would be silly if they just left and let you do what you wanted there.

I dont know if this mission is really all that bad if abused, and if it really is very lucrative....having it be really hard in the center is kindof ideal/more fair.

Guess I should try it out....can add in a already made game right?

I can just spam a fleet, jump to large sectors, mine away anyways, I havent done this mission but its likely more a shortcut of time at best when abused.....this isnt counting missions to mine. Besides a salvaging fleet following your Killing fleet still yields some of the most Ognite and Avorion you can in the center with less risk when you first start out in the center. (plus it has backup Guardian vessels if you plan right in case you need to jump in help.....you dont bring in the salvager ships until the end of the fight or right after.

I didn't test this mission in the barrier and I think it is too difficult inside there. Also I don't like that the player can fail / abandon the mission and harvest the sector consequence-free, so expect more changes in the near future.
