20 hour space expeditions

[Kaotik]

Shouldn't the reward be 25 expedition points instead of 20?  If 4 hours yields 5 exped. points, and 8 hours yields 10, I would think that 20 hours should be more.

lol Yes but if you looked at the %s it drops off to 150%. I asked for it to be changed a long time ago, but it never was. Maybe if more people wanted a change it could happen, as it stands now, the longest one, is the worst one.

Maybe I'm wrong here but I think the longest one is the worst on purpose. If you do the shorter ones, you have to participate more, whereas the long one you can just leave sit and only deal with it once a day.

That's kind of what I thought initially. If this was true, why isn't the 4 hour expeditions worth more that 5? 4 hr = 5, 8 hr =10. If that theory was true, 4 hr should be worth 6-7 points.

4 hours: 50%
8 hours: 100%
20 hours: 150%

Yes, I know what it says...
What I was asking, is why do you only get 150% for the 20 hour expedition? If 8 hours is 100%, and 4 hours is 50% (50% of 8 hours = 4 hours) so that makes sense. But, 20 hours is 250% of 8, so, why don't you get 250% of the reward?

Faded is right. That is why it is like that, Ray wanted more active game play. As to your question regarding 4hr vrs 8hr, it's Ray logic.

That's too easy. I was just wondering about it.

LOL. I think it would make more sense to make the 50% one 3 hours (or even 2) than the longer one worth more. It's a tried and true idle-ish game standard that more activity=more stuff.

[Analog]

It's a double standard.

If 20 hours were to be more efficient, people would argue that those who were more active should receive a larger benefit.
