Security missions: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* 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.

* Some missions look simple and easy, until a fleet of enemies suddenly appears. This mission, [[Cargo Delivery (Blood Raiders) (Level 4)|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.
