| − | Looking for something to do? '''Missions''' can be profitable ways to kill some time. In general missions are a set of tasks that must be accomplished to gain a reward. Sometimes missions can take quite a bit of effort and/or [[credits|money]]. In general missions that take more effort or money give better rewards.

| − | Missions can be divided in to four categories based on what is needed to be done to get the reward.

| − | == Storyline missions ==
| |
| − | Sometimes called "mission chains", storyline missions are usually a series of short to long missions that lead up to a large reward. For example, in [[Sol]] there is a chain of missions that result in the very valuable [[Ships|Waren]] as the prize.

| − | == Merchant missions ==
| |
| − | Scattered randomly throughout the universe are merchant missions. These require 10 of either plus-gear (from [[Free Market]]) or Gigantic gear (from [[Gargan]]). The reward is cost of the purchase plus between 5% and 50% and one of the Trader's marks. The [[danger factor]] of the system is tied to the size of the investment and the reward for completion.

| − | == "Help us" missions ==
| |
| − | Randomly distributed throughout the universe is a series of station-gear supply missions. The managers of these poor stations are in desperate need of an [[Adonis]] [[Radar]] or [[Ambro]] [[Shield]] and are willing to pay well with credits and some hard-to-find pieces of equipment.

| − | == Trade missions ==
| |
| − | A few special systems have trade missions. These missions are basically a way to trade one item for another with the AI and are repeatable as many time as you want. The Enforcer Rank missions in [[Sol]] are a classic example of a series of trade missions. [[Gargan]] is another system with a large number of these missions.
