'''Distribution missions''', also know as courier missions, are a type of mission given by distribution agents.

==Structure==

A Distribution mission is, typically, a mission to either collect a piece of cargo from one station and deliver it to another or to collect a piece of cargo from a deadspace location. When a Distribution mission is accepted, the necessary cargo is spawned in your personal hangar at the "Pickup Location". You then need to haul it to the "Drop-off Location" using your ship. Usually, the agent location is either the "Pickup" or "Drop-ff" location. Once docked at the destination station you may complete the mission by talking to the agent. The cargo only counts as delivered if it is either in your personal hangar at the destination station, or in your ship's cargo hold while you are docked at the destination station. The exception to this is some mission chains (A New Venture, for example) do involve combat, as such it is worth having a combat orientated ship at, or near, your mission base.

'''TIP:''' Although located in your ship inventory, cargo held in containers will not be accepted.

These can be easily accomplished in T1 Exploration Frigates, which come with a goodly cargo hold and are fairly quick to warp. However, as these are lacking offensive capabilities it is worth having a T1 combat frigate nearby should you run in to one of the mission chains that involve combat.

You will need to invest in an Expanded Cargohold module to bring your capacity up to 450|{{m3}}, however for most missions you~~'ll~~ be focusing on Inertial Stabilizers for a faster time to warp. If you~~'re~~ rigging a ship for Distribution, then 3 x Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer will be your biggest asset helping with crossing systems, leaving align time speed to low slots. In your high and medium slots, fit whatever tank is appropriate for your skills. Your goal is to avoid conflict.

If you've decided to skill into Distribution Missions for an optimized ship, then your go to will be blockade runners. These are the fastest cargo haulers in the game, and as an added bonus, have the ability to warp cloaked which makes them safer in dangerous places. It's still an industrial class, so will never be truly safe. These are significantly more expensive than regular industrials, but easily outshine even frigates in terms of completion rates due to faster warp initiation and faster warp, allowing completing several Level 1 and Level 2 at once, or keeping a frigate pace on Level 3 and Level 4 missions.
