    Well, by sitting an order out you don’t contribute to its progress at all, which has some difficult to quantify effect on the success or failure of the mission, which has a direct effect on what types of planets are available to play on during the next cycle.

    Doesn’t really matter on a single person scale, but if the community as a whole hates an order or something and a large amount sit out it would definitely effect what comes next.

      Yes, of course, though I was referring to the comic beatdown above. The easy Order was suuuper easy, and the follow-up is nearly impossible. So, effectively, we’ve gotten the 45pts we’re gonna get for the time span of both, does that make sense?

        I think the reward is basically the same as if it were just one order in the same time scale as the other orders. The last one was supposed to take 6 days. So it would’ve been a 45 medal reward after 6 days. But instead we completed it in less than a day, so they added a 6 day order. If we fail, it’ll be a 45 medal reward over 7 days, which isn’t that bad.

        It’s not like they made us wait the full time for the last major order.
