  • Edit 10/2/14: This features has been removed: "[i][b]All (Patrols)[/b]: Complete a total of 50 VIP patrols, and all patrols will additionally reward that planet's resource upon completion. VIP patrols are signified by the "star in a circle" icon.

  • I thought that for the Places the Max was 5000 at Rank 3? For example when you look at the Old Russia stats you get +5 for each Rank. Rank 1 is set to 1000 kills, Rank 2 is 2500 kills, and Rank 3 is 5000 kills. When you get Rank 3 you get a total of +15 bonus to Material Drop "In that Destination" as each Rank is +5. Also it is not Mobs but just Enemies. Mobs is a complete Group of Enemies. So you might want to edit that.

    • For the 2,500 kills, It says I've completed the task for every place, but I still very rarely get more than one of the resource at a time. I wonder what they consider, "extra"?
