I think there is a fundemental flaw with the Campaign. One the one hand the systems such as Campaign credit, all the unit stats and the missions are pretty sophisticated. On the other hand players join a faction that doesn't have a function other than just to be in a gang without a leader or any faction tasks. The Campaign map and objective is also a bit blunt or crude. You win by domination and relentless battering of oppenents. It's why weariness sets in because there is huge amount of repetitive sector retaking. There's loads of strategy within the mission games but on the map it's mostly marching foward at the enemy or preventing the enemy from doing the same. Maybe some simple addition to the map would address this. Certain sectors could have a bonus opportunity such [...]
No agree, it is rather hidden. Doesn't show within the app, only online when you equip. That is only something I've started doing more often so only really noticed recently. Like I said, I assumed what you saved got added automatically to your next mission and so on and not kept separately to use online.

By the way Xeno don't worry I am not suggesting any fancy off world convuluted alien financial deals. Just making it a more active part of the Campaign.
Separate to your query, I find it strange to have this credit system in place that rarely gets used properly. It looks like all the hard work has been done implementing it and making it perform. It is there in Campaign functioning perfectly well but very quietly. Like some sort of dormant secret or forgotten system, waiting one day to be called upon to be more.
Yes, the same thing crossed my mind also after I posted my previous post, perhaps there is a cap on the amount of savings you can tap into per mission. Great minds think alike. B-)
Steve is that the case?

I think some missions have a capping amount on tha max you can spend beyond the normal mission allocation even if you own half of Fort Knox. So what I am ruminating is you have the allocated mission fund plus the percentage of extra funds you own allowed. It doesn't account for the total you own which in your case is a higher figure. Hence the discrepancy. If I am right about this I amazed at myself. If I am wrong I would like an award for best forum fiction.
A little here, a little there. ;) Hit and run games which I'm crap at and lose anyway, and some credits change left over from certain games that I put in the piggy bank. To be honest I've saved up a bigger sum than I thought.
But yes, adding the two figures (normal mission allocation + saved campaign credits) for my capture the flag game, the amount available should be higher. Not that I intend using it all in that game by any means, it's just it doesn't add up!

That does sound like something is wrong. How did you manage to save that lot up?
I see a discrepancy. Through the app it's showing I have 384 credits available. Equipping through the site instead it says I have 639 credits avaible which includes 319 campaign credits. Well if through the app I have 384 credits to equip and through the website I have an additional 319 saved campaign credits available, that should add up to (384 + 319 =) 703 not 639 as being shown.

I think what you mean is you have mission allocated credits but spend over that mission set figure it is then deducted from your personal credits ( if you have any). I am skint as usual, AP100's cost a bomb. Sorry I couldn't resist saying it.
First, yes credits go to any future mission. I don't think we can win any credits but we should. The other thing I forgot is I think we start the Campaign with credits in the bank but I can't remember how much. It's usually spent so quickly I reckon it can't be much. I reckon one simple improvement would be to start with a much larger sum for everybody.
Right so it's just what you have built up credits in the bank previously, where you save on credits, as I do, for more important missions, and as you do on hit and run; me too. I thought it was something different to that. I thought what you had saved up automatically got added to the credits and not kept separate. Also you say next mission Pete but I take it it's not just the next but any future ones too?
I thought it was some bonus you got for winning games or something.

They are automatically given. When you load up on weapons but spend less than the allocated amount they build up. Trouble is we all like to be tooled up to the max! I am usually on a minus figure. Try a hit and run mission with 1 or 2 men but only spend half. The left over cash will be there for your next mission. I really think we should be able to win credits or do a bit of blackmarket trading.
Surprised I haven't asked this before, I'm sure it's been mentioned but I've forgotten. How do you get them and when can you use them?
