[[Missions#Encounter_Missions|Security (Encounter) Missions]] direct you to go to a particular place and deal with a problem there. Most of these problems include some number of NPC enemies, and usually the solution is to kill them. Naturally, this will require a combat ship. However, it turns out that many ships that excel in PvP combat are not as well-suited for security missions.

~~PvP encounters tend to be violent, but brief.~~ Few ships and players are so evenly matched that they will fight to a draw. On the other hand, PvE enemies almost always outnumber you, sometimes by very large margins. You have to take them out one by one, and so security mission encounters generally drag on for awhile as you maneuver and fight. You want a different kind of ship, with different fittings, for this kind of encounter.
