In anticipation of 2E's 50th set, let's talk about 50 point missions!

Some of the 2E Staff will be chatting tonight at 9:00 pm EDT (currently -4:00 UTC). We'll be streaming the discussion live on YouTube. I'll post the link to watch here when we start the broadcast.

I remember playing 2 mission Vintner with Hunt for DNA and Restock Ketracel White using McCoy and Future Enterprise to make it go.

That was fun. I may have to dust that deck off....

A lot of terrible takes in this video.
"Requirements too hard"...?

A 50 pt mission gets you half way to winning the game. It has to be hard to complete! Otherwise you're undermining the entire concept this game is built on!

The basic jist has always been three easy missions vs 2 hard ones.

Once you start making 50 pointers too easy, you're rocking the foundations this game is built on. I hope the Omega Directive designers kept that in mind...

In addition to all that, 50 point missions unlock all kinds of bonus supports in the form of dilemmas, interrupts, and events that require unusually high mission point totals.

I'm glad we're getting more 50s for the sake of variety and allowing for new deck ideas, and I haven't listened to the video yet, but I really hope there aren't any 50 point missions with 40 point mission kind of requirements in this set.

Wouldn't be a good show if there wasn't.

I think Corbett had the right idea the first time you went to him. It makes more sense to discuss 50-point missions in the context of the game, and not necessarily to discuss each card individually.

Questions I have: are 50 pointers just going to be a 4th mission; knowing their heavy requirements, the difference between solving one as your first mission vs. your last; any chance to be solved in a 3-mission; what affiliations generate bonus points to go 50+30/5+bonus win?

The rest of the time he was FAKE NEWS.

Well, I stopped watching after realizing it was just going to be this mission has tough skills and tough attributes x7.
