Cosmic Exploration - Great for DoH, Stressful and Unpleasant for DoL

Really cute idea, actually.

That would be cute! But really anything to make GP replenish faster, if not a complete restore on completion of the mission. I’m sitting there so long waiting either for GP or my cordial timer, then by the time I start the next mission, a mech ops pops in the middle of it and then I’m late to that and only get half credit!

Like I said in the other thread, I was really hoping for some sort of Diadem-esque gathering loop. I hate the timed leves. Just let me have turn-ins to earn my credits so I can do my endless looping. I don’t mind grinding by any means, but I don’t want it to feel so frantic. They should have had a handful of mats to stock up on a nice relaxing gathering loop and had the leves as an alternative for people who enjoy that format. I’d totally be ok with the leves giving more credits in that scenario, but I’m more likely to keep participating in a grind I can do at my own pace without feeling rushed by a timer. With the timed format I’m just doing a mission, waiting for the mech op or red alert to pop, then another mission… I feel like I’d be accomplishing more if I just had a loop.

I'm with you on the frantic feel. Like most others I grinded out the 9/9/9 research rank B because it's very easy and the timer's quite forgiving. While I don't mind the 'locking in' concept, I suppose a hybrid method would be desirable where you could do the not-leves or gather materials in a loop as a slower but less frantic option. Maybe their next iteration could include something like that.
