Default Time or Tonnage?

Hey guys, I've been out for 3mo darn near, got my first 2 warships(Fuso battleship & Maya HC!) and over 212k tonnage and still no mission/objective accomplished..?

Who'd I piss off? Is there a time frame or a tonnage total? Are some missions just 'unwinnable'?

1.5 w/RSRD and a few minor mods

TIA
Gary

Depending upon the mission you're tasked with, the requirements can vary. If it's a simple go here sink ships type of mission usually you are required to stay within X NM of the marker on your chart for X hours.

Yep, just read your messages, it should tell you how long and time..be warned, if you go out of the range stated, the clock starts over.

Hmm..I hadn't noticed the specifics in the msgs. I just get the "Continue with the current objective and maintain radio silence for two hours" when I send status reports.

I thought I was just getting a "STFU and get back to work" deal!

Will surely look closer for specifics and will loiter on the star before setting course for home.

Thanks a million,
Gary

212k tons ?!?!

Captain, your pres is going to lever himself up out of his wheelchair and pin the gold on you if it kills him.

You do not need to worry about pettyfogging beaurocratic mission objectives.
