theborch Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Do the bonus missions do anything besides award additional xp? I could be wrong but I do not believe so. They are a good way to utilize your rested XP. As killing 50+ fighters at 14 XP each x2 is a nice little bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slooth Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was just hopping it meant more credits. But as I always do all the bonus missions I never want to miss one to find out if Im getting less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhfel Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I got all 8 of my characters to ship level so I can farm the space dailies every day with all of them. The bonus objectives do give you credits. Whenever you finish a bonus, hit enter to look at the chat log and see how many credits/xp you got. IIRC, the Jabiim escort (first sith space combat) is ~200 credits on the bonus. More importantly are the hidden bonuses though. On Cartel Listening station (sith, I think jedi one is called Balmora or Balosar) you can destroy the communications tower sticking out at the bottom of the station for about 2.5k xp and 3k credits (I might have these numbers switched). Note that it does not tell you you can do this, and these bonus objectives are complete-able once daily. To destroy the communications station, you require 20 missiles. You can do this with no upgrades, provide you use missiles ONLY on the comunnications station. The command station on carriers (looks like the 'Bridge') can also be destroyed on missions, it requires somewhere around 30 missiles so it can only be done with upgrades. The 4th and 5th space missions you get can do this. Although there are carriers in the first 2 missions, I have not found a way to be able to destroy the bridge on a carrier (simply not enough time to fire missiles at them).

Auhfel Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 as for what borch said about rested XP being used when killing fighters.. I'll have to test tht. I don't think so, I mean I have 8 characters who always have a rested bonus and I spend almost 3 hours a day doing space missions.. but next time I play I will check. I'll actually check to see if any bonus xp is used after finishing a mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theborch Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Rested XP is only applied when killing stuff. As far as I can tell the Fighters qualifuy as that. Rested XP does not apply to quest XP, which is what is given at the end. Does the log actually split up XP and Rested XP awarded? I though it just said XP in general.

Auhfel Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 No, but as you can check how much rested XP you have, it'd be as simple as checking to see if you have less rested XP than before you did the mission. I'd check, but I'm at work now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check, but I'm at work now. Good point I never actually looked at that. I just looked at how much my bar moved and it looked like a lot so I assumed it was because of rested. Now I want to check it out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhfel Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I *really* doubt it though, because i usually blow all 20 of my missiles on the escort mission on cruiser turrets (they give 20 xp each) and I destroy at least 40-50 fighters on that mission.. so it'd be about what, 700-800 xp of my rested being used? I think if it was then I would have noticed. But, as I said, I hadn't paid close attention so i'll test it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDemens Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You get credits for them too, but generally not a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
