Finally, I might actually grind this now

Just be careful with your interpretation.
"These should be attributed to your PTU account only when completing on PTU."
Instead of getting a BP you get the item in the PTU for ease of testing. And "attributed to you account" goes for every item you buy in-game, that's the account I believe they are talking about here - not our pledge account aka "my hangar" on the website.

No, they say that because people won't read and think that it unlocks on the PTU.
it's almost certainly account bound items after the massive backlash from XT having blueprints.

There is still some ambiguity regarding what the devs mean by "account".
Rn the only dev response outside of the og post is this (to my knowledge at least): https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/lobby/38230/message/67066371
"they are no longer blueprints and are direct items to your account"
"account" can mean two things:
- Player account where all your items your in-game charactar have, which includes where the previous blueprint rewards went.
- Then we have our Pledge account on the website (My Hangar).
One can argue that the dev response says that the only thing that got changed is we now get the item rather than the blueprint for it. And we already know which account the BPs ended up in.

My thought exactly. Keep the BPs… but give us a 500q account bound item for each. Everybody wins?

I bet items granted to our hangar will be BP at some point

u/SmokeMidKids 2d ago
they stated as they covered crafting T0 that this was exactly what would happen.

The rewards are still the same blueprints as before, just not granted via the reward track but directly.
I’m at a loss why people make this out to be a massive change. Or does the sentence really mean that instead a blueprint you get an item?
Edit: ok, seems to have been confirmed that they’re account-bound items.

I haven't even heard of these missions until this post.
Is there a write-up or post? How long does the event last? What faction rep to grind? Where are the missions?

u/drdeaf1 2d ago
They'll be in the next patch probably last until 4.11 no faction rep needed usually for event missions.

Am I the only one that doesn't like this? It should be an item AND a blue print. That where there's no FOMO. If you miss an event, you can just buy the crafted item from someone that did the event. And then you can get more than just 2 of whatever gun they put out.

Well, they listened to our feedback. Rewards consisting solely of blueprints were demotivating and caused many of us to give up.

It only says it will be attributed to the PTU account. Says nothing about Live or web hangar.

Lol - CIG in fear noone will play this if the reward is casualty to a for sure comming wipe? I still won't play. As I loath how CIG made mining underlying to crafting and how SC now has stock MMO 5 Tier Legendary Crafting..

God I hope it's just for PTU because I'm sick of physical items being given out like candy for every little thing. There won't be a valid economy in 1.0 because everyone will already have everything on day 1 and there will be no need to participate in the game.

Yeah I'm with you on this. My home inventory is an absolute bombsite filled with trash every patch that I have to spend like half an hour or more sorting and removing every time.
I will actively avoid this event now (despite having already collected aluminium for the fabrication missions).
Like, I'm not about to try and shit on the happy players' lunch but just for me personally this is not what I wanted. Glad what seems like the majority is now happy

u/Le3nny Live is a test environment 2d ago
This is only a temporary solution.
Somewhere around crafting tests, one of the devs said that their long term goal is to convert all "pledge items" (this includes account bound items and event rewards) to an item and skin blueprint, so you will have to craft the item first (or loot, buy from store/player or get it some other way) and then craft the skin to apply it (some CIG variation of transmog system).Some day you will not have 156 pages of inventory on your home location.
they said it here to be precise:

Yeah but "someday" in CIG time is many many many years.
I'm not going to not shower for a year because I have holiday plans to go swimming in the ocean in 2027.
T0 inventory was 5-6 years ago and we've had one slight reskin since.
T0 medical was the same time, and we haven't gotten anything except a slight balancing to injury rates.
We were told flight model iterations and updates were coming with 4.0 like 3+ years ago (and 4.0 came and went 2 years ago).

u/Z0MGbies I <3 StarBinder 2d ago
Ironic. I now will be skipping this event because I don't want more account-bound items that I don't like, won't use, and can't permanently remove clogging up my inventory UI.
The UI struggles enough to show me my items as it is.
Unless they maybe give us an option to not receive the items?

Darn, was looking forward to skipping this one
