Mining Manufacturing Mission Thread bad for Serco

Jul 04, 2008 Milferd link
Did not know whether to post this here or in bugs. Did not catch the exact title to starting mission. But first you mine ore and pick up items and get light Xithricitie beam.
Then it goes on and you get an Improved Mineral Scanner after mining for Xithricitie and running errands. Serco does not have Simple Plastics, Xithricitie and one possible other item I do not recall. (sorry lost my note) This is as far as I can tell I did visit all the Serco stations (could have missed it but it rare if there) and visiting all the marked asteroid sectors in two systems and after asking on chat was told there is none. History sort of says the same about Xithricite. Mission mentions manufacturing later but have not received that mission yet so do not know it's requirements.

This can be very frustrating for a starting out Serco player and is unfair to them as well as you get the same reward but work allot harder for it. Ether in Serco the mission have Serco items in it, items made to match all Factions, or at the least the Serco mission should tell you to look outside of Serco for the Xithricite and the other items not in Serco.

Separate mine Xithricite mission when given in Serco needs to mention lack of Xithricite and reward more.

Give serco a couple xith roids

That would go against the story; the UIT discovered and developed Xith, and Serco had to trade for the tech and commodities from UIT subsequently. It should be changed to another ore to be fair.

There's some xith in initros. But if that other stuff isn't available that kinda sucks.

There's also plenty of Xith in Helios.

We show close to 400 Xith roids in Serco space, also simple plastics is sold at 3 stations in serco-ville.

Mad Miner Moda.

on the Xith was told it was not in Serco. Sorry.
The simple plastics are in Geira Rutilus must have been so frustrated by that point I skipped the last three systems.
Still Simple plastics are much more common in UIT space or Itan.
I assumed that the lack of common xith ore for sale indicated none in system along with back story.

I would recomend the simple plastics be changed to something common in all areas or the mission in Serco space changed to anouther item or at least the mission tell it's rare in Serco.

LOL should have taken mission in UIT or Itan space
