The missions usually consist of simple things that you need to complete to reach the objective:

* If you encounter a locked acceleration gate kill every NPC ship in space to unlock it.

** In few instances the gate requires a key to activate. Trying to activate the gate will say what is needed.

* If killing everything doesn't work take a look at the mission briefing and objective. Often you need to destroy a specific structure. The structures aren't visible in most overviews so you will need an overview that shows "large collidable structures".

* Mission often have various ''triggers''. that cause new enemies to spawn. The most common trigger is to attack or kille certain ships. it is often important to avoid triggering triggers to often to not get overwhelmed.

* Mission spaces will often contain acceleration gates that take you deeper into enemy territory; these gates are often locked until nearby enemies have been defeated. If you get to a gate, but it won't launch you, make sure that you have found and killed all the enemy ships in the area. Also, sometimes you have to loot the commander of the defending ships to get a "key" that unlocks the gate.

* Some missions tell you to go to a place, kill the ships there, and wait for reinforcements to arrive so that you can kill them too. If you don't read the mission statement, you can not notice this and go back to the agent before the mission is finished.

* Some missions look simple and easy, until a fleet of enemies suddenly appears. This mission, [[Cargo Delivery (Blood Raiders)|Cargo Delivery]], for example, tells you to fly to a warehouse to pick up cargo. Simple enough, but once you pick up the cargo, a cluster of ships appears and targets you. You are right next to the warehouse at this point, and if you panic and try to warp out, you can get stuck, warp disrupted ... and then, of course, utterly destroyed.

The objective of a Security mission is usually to kill a ship or a set of ships located at the encounter, but it could also be to destroy a structure, to get close to a location and then escape, to pick up an object at the location (which may or may not be an ambush), or to fly from beacon-to-beacon. Be sure to read the mission description carefully. If you find that you cannot figure out what a mission is asking you to do, consider looking at a [[mission reports|mission report]] for that particular mission.
