I just completed the Boa mission in the UPS oxp. While the mission itself was neat (though looking for one ship in a system is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack), the best and unexpected part of the mission, is afterwards. Now all these traders, when they pass by are thanking me for defeating the evil Boa.
Since space travel is normally a rather silent affair. Either ships pass saying nothing, or they say curses or gibberish. It's a welcome change.
(nothing against Deep space priates or thargoids. Both are quite wonderful in their communications)

Re: I love UPS
Yeah, what's needed is a stolen mail transponder, that relays the rough co-ordinates of the parcels. Then again maybe flying around for 2 hours buzzing every hapless boa that comes in system is part and parcel of the challenge.Chrisfs wrote:(though looking for one ship in a system is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack)
Can't make it too easy now can we? Else everyone would be doing it.
