As Fatleaf says, there is generally a lot of feedback in the respective oxp threads.
Y’know, it might be useful if OXP pages linked to their primary discussion/announcement thread.
That would make life a lot easier...

Yes indeed, that would be sensible!

Hi RyanHoots,

Just to throw in my own two cents, I'll post the missions I use;

RandomHits1.4.8.oxp
- Not really a mission, bur a good way to earn some fast credits

black_baron.oxp
- short story based mission

Blackjacksbullion js v1.25.oxp
- the same

spyhunter 1.1.oxp
- Haven't done this one yet, but are eagerly anticipating

TCAT 1.10.oxp
- Done this one with a previous commander, brilliant!

Deposed1.3.4.oxp
- Nice one

UPS-courier v1.7.6.oxp
- Also for a fast credit, and a steady stream of missions

ionics-1.3.oxp
- Also haven't done this one yet, but have met their ships...

Iron Raven v1.0.2.oxp
- playing this one now, till now, very nice!

longway 1.1.oxp
- short beginners mission

lovecats 1.2.1.oxp
- also nice, played this one with a previous commender

For some reason, galaxy map 4 is rife with missions!

Hope this helps.
Greetz,
Onno.

And if you want a couple more short diversions in G3, there's always the Kraken mission in Aquatics OXP, and the hide and seek mission in Stealth OXP.

Thanks for all the great suggestions, I'm in G1 for now so I can do the Constrictor hunt, which I hear will bring me to G2, then it's off to G3 and then G4, then I go back home to G5. Looks like I have a plan! :D

So you've wimped out on my challenge, Ryan? Looks like my faith in you was misplaced, and I've lost a bet. Crossing you off my Christmas card list... right... now.

Have you found the clues I've left around the BB over the last week or so?

Don't forget to do the Ionics mission whilst in G2 - by all accounts it's very good. I've been inching my way across G2 for the past 6 weeks or so to the start location and am nearly there. Just gotta stop getting distracted by OXP making and actually play my commander for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. I'll then be onto Aquatics in G3....

No one has mentioned the Vector mission - have no idea what it's about but the little I've seen so far has me very intrigued. You even get one of these. Not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do with it.....you can call the Police... :?

Oh, it's definitely good! But you'll need a tad more than 5 or 10 minutes to play it...

Just finished it (on Sunday). One I have skipped earlier. And, well, what Mauiby de Fug said. It takes a while.

You've got a newsflash about a missing shipdesigner and GCPolice asked to call them. So if you spot him, either stay with him or dock and call the number. Apart from other stuff the Vector uses Snoopers to give hints or to enable features. I'll add a entry to the missionlog to make it more clear.-)
