== Mission levels ==

Mission levels go from 1 to 5. Higher level missions generally requires that you have better skills and access to bigger ships. Higher level missions also increase [[#Rewards|rewards]]. A mission's level is identical to the offering [[agents]] level with the exception of [[#Storyline missions|Storyline missions]]. As your corporation and faction ~~standing increases~~, you'll gain access to higher level agents and thus missions.

* '''Level 1''' The most basic type. Can be run by basic [[frigates]]. Only the most basic [[Starting skills|piloting skills]] are required.

* '''Level 1''': The most basic type. Can be run by basic [[frigates]]. Only the most basic [[Starting skills|piloting skills]] are required.

* '''Level 2''' While Mining and Courier missions may be run in frigates, Encounter is designed for [[cruiser]] hulls. You are expected to improve your abilities and learn how to [[Fitting ships|fit out new ships]].

* '''Level 2''': While Mining and Courier missions may be run in frigates, Encounter is designed for [[cruiser]] hulls. You are expected to improve your abilities and learn how to [[Fitting ships|fit out new ships]].

* '''Level 3''' As you specialize, you will need a [[battlecruiser]], [[Mining Barge]], or a medium-sized [[hauler]]. These missions go faster if you have trained for better ships and at least some [[Tech 2]] fittings.

* '''Level 4''' These require a [[battleship]], an [[exhumer]], or a large [[hauler]]. These missions can be time-consuming, but they offer large rewards. These missions require [[Omega clone|~~omega~~]] to run.

* '''Level 5''' Mostly encounter (combat) missions designed for [[#Missioning with a fleet|groups of players]] or [[capital ships]] and are exclusively located in Low Security space. Like level 4, these also require ~~omega~~ to run.

The Storyline agent will contact you from a station - you will get a notification about an important mission offer - however, you will need to travel to the agent's station to accept the mission. Once you are in touch with the Storyline agent, you accept and complete the mission in the usual way. You cannot work for a Storyline agent unless you've received an offer from that Agent.

Completing a Storyline mission gives large increases to your standing with the agent's corporation and a moderate increase to faction standing. Note that you will also get derived standings, both positive and negative, towards other factions. If you keep doing Storyline missions for [[Minmatar Republic]] you will find that [[Gallente Federation]] will also like you while [[Amarr Empire]], [[Caldari State]] and various pirate factions will gradually start to dislike you.

{{Important note box|Warning: Completing storyline mission '''will''' cause standing loss to opposing factions.}}

When trying to increase standings with a particular NPC corporation, it is possible to plan your missioning in a way that when you hand in your 16th mission, you get your offer from the Storyline agent of the corporation that you are focusing on.

The mission LP rewards scale with the system security of the agent and the level of the "Division" Connections skill. The formula for calculating the LP reward is:

: <math> \displaystyle \text{ LP reward } = \text{ Base LP } \times (1.6288 - \text{ System security }) \times (1 + \text{ "Division" Connections }\times 0.1) </math>

: <math> \displaystyle \text{ LP reward } = \text{ Base LP } \times (1.6288 - \text{ System security }) \times (1 + \text{ Division Connections }\times 0.1) </math>

This means that an agent in a 0.5 security system pays 80% more than an agent in 1.0 security system. Note that the system security used here is the [[System security#True security|true security]] of the system.
