| {{MissionLinks}}'''COSMOS missions''' and '''COSMOS Sites''' are special PvE opportunities focused on certain constellations. The missions reward blueprint copies for storyline modules and offer both faction and corp standings while the sites contain materials for storyline modules, storyline missions and unique drops. | | {{MissionLinks}}'''COSMOS Agents''' offer Missions that can be completed only once and '''COSMOS Deadspace Sites''' are unique Combat Sites. Each Empire's Agents and Deadspace Sites are located in specific Null and High Security constellations. |
| | |
| | COSMOS Mission rewards are Storyline module BPCs, Faction and Corporation Standing. COSMOS Sites hide additional COSMOS Agents, Storyline and unique modules. |

| ==Why COSMOS missions?== | | ==Why COSMOS missions?== |
|

|
| There are several reasons to do COSMOS missions.
| | * Faction Standing: each COSMOS Agent's final Mission will increase your Faction Standing, including derived Standing |
| | |
| * Standing boosts: Every last mission an agent offers is an important storyline mission. It boosts standings with a faction, including derived standings. COSMOS missions are probably the fastest way receive an one time boost in standings in the game. | |
| | |
| * Storyline blueprint copies: Agents often give blueprint copies as reward. While these modules often have weaker or equal stats to tech 2, they have considerably lesser fitting requirements. The production of the modules is very costly. You need unseeded skillbooks like Sleeper Technology as prerequisite and special items found in the COSMOS complexes to build them. Thus the items can be very expensive on the contract market but don't have much movement.

|
| |
|
| * Bounties/Loot/Salvage: As there is a lot to shoot at in the COSMOS complexes with low respawn rates, ratting/looting/salvaging can be lucrative. This also includes named NPCs that drop items needed for agent missions, keycards for warpgates and items found in hacking or archaeology cans used for the production of storyline items. While most of these items only can be traded via contract and don't have much movement on the market, they can sell for a good amount of money. Salvaging and Looting should be done in a team, as you can't come back in a dedicated salvaging boat after clearing the NPCs in a pocket without running into respawns. Certain COSMOS complexes also contain faction and deadspace module drops like normal DED rated complexes. | | * Storyline module BPC: these modules are comparable to Tech 2 modules, but are easier to fit. Production requires special skills and items found only in COSMOS Deadspace Sites. Due to material scarcity and high price they see little market movement |
|
| |
|
| * Exploration/Lore: COSMOS missions are a refreshing alternative to normal missions. While they always give you a hint where to find the item to finish the mission, you have to search for it. Sometimes you even have to scan down the place where you find it, bring a keycard to access the place or need to hack or analyze a can to loot it. The missions also offer a good amount of lore about New Eden. Players interested in lore should take a look into COSMOS missions. | | * Bounties/Loot/Salvage: named Ships drop items for COSMOS Missions, passkeys for Acceleration Gates and Storyline BPC materials. You can't come back to salvage ships after you've left a pocket as the enemies will respawn. COSMOS Deadspace Sites can contain loot similar to [[Combat_sites#DED_rated_complexes|DED rated complexes]] |
|
| |
|
| * Faction ship blueprints: There are agents in the constellations that offer faction ship blueprints. You need a very high faction standing and you have to bring pirate tags, but you can obtain 2 run blueprints for faction frigate, cruiser and battleship. | | * Exploration/Lore: you often have to search, scan, hack, analyze or use a passkey to complete a Mission. COSMOS Missions contain a lot of interesting information about New Eden |
|
| |
|
| The setback is that all the missions can be completed only once. Though the static complexes can be farmed forever.
| | * Faction ship hull BPCs: when you have 8.5+ Faction Standing you can hand in pirate tags for 2 run BPCs for faction frigate, cruiser and battleship |
