=== Mission Levels=== | |||
Mission levels go from low to high: 1-5. As you go up in level, the missions generally require that you have more experience and access to bigger ships, but they also provide better rewards. The level of a Mission Agent tells you the level of missions that the agent will offer. Each agent offers only one level of missions. | |||
*'''Level 1''' is where most new players start. Most level 1 missions can easily be done in a [[Frigate|frigate]]. Only the most basic [[Starting_Skills|piloting skills]] are required. | |||
*'''Level 2''' missions usually require a combat [[Cruiser|cruiser]], a larger mining ship, or a small industrial ship. These missions generally expect that you are developing your piloting skills and learning how to [[Fitting_Guidelines|fit out new ships]]. | |||
*'''Level 3''' missions require a [[Battlecruiser|battlecruiser]], a mining barge, or a medium-sized industrial ship. These missions go faster if you have trained for better ships and at least some [[Tech_2|Tech 2]] fittings. | |||
*'''Level 4''' missions require a [[Battleship|Battleship]], an exhumer, or a large industrial ship. These missions can be time-consuming, but they offer large rewards. | |||
*'''Level 5''' missions are designed for groups of players and exclusively located in Low Security space. | |||
