Picture source: Influence medium post announcing crew assignments
In my previous Influence post I gave an introduction to the game, discussed Asteroid and Crew Member NFTs, and briefly touched on the tokenomics of SWAY. Today I will be talking about the crew assignments that just went live!
Crew assignments are the first playable aspect of the Influence game, which tell the backstory of how the pioneers aboard the Arvad generational ship left a dying Earth 150 years ago. The original Arvad crew intended to arrive in a system 14 light years away, but shortly after departure they were pushed off-course due to the gravity of an unidentified dark exoplanet. This made reaching the habitable planet they were targeting unrealistic, and had to settle for the Adalia system.

Crew assignments are text-based missions kind of like a "choose your own adventure" which will have a lasting impact on your characters. Completing these missions will award unique traits similar to Crusader Kings that give small boosts to a specific field. These traits will be permanently stored in the metadata of the NFT and will follow it even if sold to another player. The choices you make and the traits awarded will initially be on the centralised servers of the Influence team, but once the game launches on StarkNet all data will be written on chain.
With that said, let's get into the assignments! After selecting Crew Assignments in the game UI, the player will be able to choose an active crew member to complete the assignment with. This week the two questions that determine your character trait are, "How did they secure that spot?" and "What drives you?" I answered Labor and Service and was awarded the "Drive: Service" character trait. This character is a Miner/Electrician so I feel that is appropriate. For my Miner/Security Officer I chose Luck and Glory.
And that is what the Week One crew assignment looks like! Korivak from discord is the contractor hired to write the crew assignments, and here he teases that next weeks assignment is going to be more in depth.
In addition to character traits, completing crew assignments will also award a certain amount of SWAY, the Influence in-game token. The SWAY token will have no public or private sales, the only way to obtain it will be to earn it in-game. As soon as it was announced that SWAY tokens were also awarded for crew assignments, the OpenSea secondary market started spiking, as can be seen below. Over the last two weeks the floor price of crew members has increased from 0.04 Eth to 0.06 Eth, a 50% increase! OpenSea link
To finish up this post I would like to highlight a useful community-run website, https://evaluate.market/influencecrew/collections/analyze
This website has useful features regarding crew members such as:
Sales visualization over time, showing individual sale prices on a dot plot and total number of sales per day on a bar graph
The wallet leaderboard, which tracks the number of crew members per wallet and percent owned of the total
Collection price tracking based on the floor evaluation. For each NFT it tracks current price, what you paid for it, and the delta
With crew assignments going live the Influence team has also implemented a referral program that will award SWAY tokens. If you are interested in joining the game here is my Link. Thank you for reading!
