==Rewards==

~~These are the rewards that come from missions.~~

*{{color|#cee686|ISK}} is Eve's currency. Most missions ~~pay~~ you ~~in ISK~~.

Completing missions will reward you with isk, loyalty points and standings.

** Killing NPC in combat missions ~~will also pay bounties~~. ~~You will often get mroe isk from bounties than from mission reward.~~

*{{color|#cee686|Loyalty Points}} are a currency that you receive from the Corporation whose agent gives you a mission. These points can be used to buy things at the Corporation's store. ~~[[File:LP_storebutton.png‎|alt=loyalty point store button]]~~

Being paid with isk is clear for everyone but new missioneers often forget about the Loyalty points that they gain whilst running missions. Loyalty Points are a currency that you receive from the Corporation whose agent gives you a mission. These points can be used to buy things at the Corporation's store. These points (plus a small amount of ISK or items) can be exchanged for valuable items in the Loyalty Points store of the mission agent's corporation. For some players it is more profitable to accumulate Loyalty Points in order to exchange them for goods which can then be sold than it is to kill, loot and salvage in security missions. See [[Loyalty Points]] for more details on what to do with LP.

*{{color|#cee686|Loot}} is the name given to various items ~~that~~ can be ~~taken from~~ the ~~ships that you kill~~ in ~~combat missions. Loot can be sold~~ for ~~ISK, or it can be reprocessed into minerals that~~ can be sold ~~for ISK, and sometimes you can fit~~ it to ~~your ship~~ and ~~use it yourself~~.

*{{color|#cee686|Standings}} are numbers that indicate how good (or bad) your reputation has become. Doing missions almost always affects your standings with ~~agents, corporations and factions~~.

The mission isk and LP rewards also scale with the system security of the agent by extra 10% reward per 0.1 decrease in security rating. This means that an agent in 0.5 security system pays 50% more than an agent in 1.00 security system. (confirm? All sources from before agent update).

Gaining improved standings with agent, corporation or faction can also be lucrative. With higher standings you will be able to take higher lvel missions, pay less broker fees in NPC stations and get cheaper refining in NPC stations. See [[NPC standings]] for all advantages of standings.

You will also receive isk from bounties while killing NPC in combat missions. You will often get mroe isk from bounties than from mission reward. You will also be able to loot and salvage the wrecks though it is often more profitable to skip this.

Line 130:

'''Data Center''' missions involve handing in tags to the agent for standing gain. This effectively allows you to buy faction standings. note though that each data center mission can be done only once

~~== Loyalty Points ==~~

~~{{main|Loyalty Points}}~~

New missioneers often forget about the Loyalty points that they gain whilst running missions. These points (plus a small amount of ISK or items) can be exchanged for valuable items in the Loyalty Points store of the mission agent's corporation.

For some players it is more profitable to accumulate Loyalty Points in order to exchange them for goods which can then be sold than it is to kill, loot and salvage in security missions. This approach also has the advantage of shortening the amount of time it takes to achieve the Standings required to run higher level Missions, which are correspondingly more profitable in Loyalty Points terms as well.

~~You can review your Loyalty Points in-game in the [[NeoCom|NeoCom]] > JOURNAL button > AGENTS tab > LOYALTY POINTS subtab.~~
