QOL Changes - Radio Missions

1. After I've completed my first bank mission for a Detective, please dont make me travel all the way across the zone to get subsequent bank missions.
Can't tell you how many times I've done radios in PI where I'm in the vicinity of the police wagon, I have to travel across the zone to the Detective, than back across the zone to the wagon. Somewhat annoying.

2. Remove the "return to contact" option after completing a bank mission. It serves no useful purpose since radio missions are already available after completion. Wouldnt hurt my feelings to be congratulated over the phone vs in-person.

3. Allow a "re-roll" of radio missions if I dont like the current options. Sometimes I just feel like rolling against a particular villain group, and I'll get nothng but CoT and Arachnos, for example.

4. Provide more villain group options in PI. Freakshow and Praetorian for starters.

5. Provide more than one bank mission, with different villain groups and goals.

2: Talking to the detective yields you a new story contact, if available. I wouldn't mind having the runaround removed, but only if the new contact mechanic remains.

3: Pick a mission at random. Then abandon it. That will repopulate the radio list.

Normal contacts don't require you to show in person to choose a new contact, so I don't think that would be an issue if they chose to implement this.

Thanks. I'll try it out.

What, you expect the detectives who give you radio missions to have wireless communication devices?


"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill

Technically, the detectives don't give you missions - they give you the police band frequency which you tune into and pick your own tasks.

Well, yes and no. You do need to talk to your contacts to get a new contact from them, and you can do that by calling them. I suspect the reason you never get the detectives' number is a technical one - they have a pretty weird interaction with the radio "contact", especially since the reputation flushes every time you talk to them about the bank mission.
