Completing a mission is rewarded with ISK, [[Loyalty Points]] and standings with the agent and NPC corporation involved. Some missions also give a time bonus and some give items (particularly the [[Career Agents]] missions).

There are various levels of mission, which are increasingly more difficult to complete. Level 1 missions are easy for [[Alpha ~~Clones~~]] or very new players but have low rewards. Level 2 missions can be done in a basic Tech 1 cruiser, Level 3s expect a battlecruiser, and Level 4 missions are suited to a sensibly-fit battleship. Level 5 missions only appear in low security space, and can normally only be done as part of a fleet, or with a [[carrier]]. Players will need to work up to high standing with agents to be able to request higher level missions.

'''Player versus Player combat''' ("PvP") is a fundamental part of EVE Online. Players can attack or be attacked by anyone at any time. Many players make PvP their main profession, and spend their time preparing and hunting for fights.

PVP can be done in large fleets, in small gangs, or solo. It encompasses everything from [[frigate]] brawls to apocalyptic clashes between [[Supercarriers]] and [[Titans]]. Depending on a fleet's composition and purpose, players can fill many roles, including [[Tackling|tackler]], damage dealer, scout, bait, stealth bomber, [[EWAR]], [[Logistics|repairing other ships]], and fleet command. To thrive in PvP, players benefit from a good tactical mind and a solid knowledge of game mechanics, but it is cheap and easy to make first steps in PvP; given the right tools and tactics, [[Alpha ~~Clones~~]] and very new players can fight successfully.

The act of fighting itself tends to cost more ISK than it generates in loot. However, money can be made via PvP indirectly. Rank-and-file pilots flying with large, organised sovereign alliances in player-owned nullsec space often have their losses and costs covered by their alliance. Some players fight for pay as mercenaries: mercenary groups in New Eden range in type from small teams of pilots specialized in disrupting target corporations and settling small scores in highsec, to larger groups hired to add their weight to nullsec wars.
