I guess random numbers are random. Calagan gave me a 500k right after that, to hurt our old friend Aetaan Char. By coincidence, she had just sent the legendary BH Werewolf against me, and (after one bad combat) I paid her 400k to call off the dog. Difficulty normal, year 17, level 22 BH, mil rank 17 for +34%, no other talents affecting payout.

I'm pretty sure that lower difficulties offer higher payouts and difficulty doesn't affect how far of a mission you will get (which plays a big part in determining payout) only the difficulty of the ships/crew you will fight. So generally it's much easier to get higher payouts on lower diff. Also daveal that mission didn't require an edict. I'm not sure if they're sticking with that for the challenge though. I've had a very hard time finding high paying edict missions.

So we don't need an edict mission for victory?

So we don't need an edict mission for victory? That's what the challenge says. I didn't check the mission specifically. I'm not too worried about, glad players are having fun with the community challenge

Once we have the edict, how do we know what missions require it? When I don't have the edict I get a message about it, but I haven't mapped all the mission types. Or alternatively, what is the list of missions that require edicts?

Or alternatively, what is the list of missions that require edicts? Missions that require an Edict say so at the top of the message, next to where it says that you get a pay bonus for rank.

OK, that mission didn't qualify then. I'll run that captain further. I've just burned a couple years trying to trigger call of the strong.
EDIT: OK, now I can see that some missions do show they require an edict: Outlaw's web, Wilderness/urban tombstone, Wilds/urban bolthole. But, the ones I get only say they require edict level 1. Are there others that *require* edit level 9?
EDIT2: After a few tries, I can't see any edict missions from my contacts which are over 150K even. So I have a *long* ways to go. May not be possible on normal. I'm not really excited about trying harder levels without initial commanders from call of the strong.

daveal - it is "requires Edict" or not at all. Perhaps we should simply remove the clause from the community challenge.

Note: we have removed the requirement for the mission to require an Edict as this was too complicated.

Dropping the "mission requires Edict" rule makes this a lot easier. Here's a 563k payout I got for an Outlaw's Web mission on Impossible.

Well, we're about 60 years in, so I would never have done it with a solid time limit on it. I think all the vets on stream were like 'About damn time'.
