{{update|Agency}}{{MissionLinks}}A '''mission''' is a job offered by an non-playing character to a player which requires the player to accomplish a set of objectives in exchange for a set of rewards.

==Three Common Mission Types==

There are three standard types of missions: {{color|#cee686|Security}} given by security agents, {{color|#cee686|Mining}} given by mining agents, and {{color|#cee686|Distribution}} given by distribution agents.

~~==Rewards==~~

'''[[Security missions]]''' are for the combat oriented pilots. These missions have the highest rewards but they are also slower and involve risk of dying. When people talk about missions they usually mean these missions.

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

'''[[Mining missions]]''' are given out by Mining agents and require you to mine an asteroid or set of asteroids and bring the ore back to the agent's station. There is a risk of combat in mining missions, though the "belt pirate" NPC hostiles that show up are usually rather weak. Note that Mining missions pay off in ISK and Loyalty points, you do not get ore from Mining missions. See [[mining missions]] for more details.

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.~~

'''[[Distribution missions]]''' require the movement of a cargo from one station to another. Distribution missions never require combat, though, of course, you may encounter PvP combat on the way to your destination. Distribution missions are fastest mission type to run so they are sometimes used for fast standing gains.

~~The mission isk and LP rewards also scale with~~ the ~~system security~~ of ~~the agent by extra 10% isk, LP and standings for 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. The rewards are also dynamically adjusted based on past completion data. This dynamic calculation affects isk payout, ~~LP payout~~, ~~bonus reward and bonus time.<ref name="ddynamic rewards">http://eve-search.com/thread/795200-0/page/1#1</ref>~~

~~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~~.

*'''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 or capital ships and are exclusively located in Low Security space.

==Rewards==

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

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.

The mission isk and LP rewards also scale with the system security of the agent by extra 10% isk, LP and standings for 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. The rewards are also dynamically adjusted based on past completion data. This dynamic calculation affects isk payout, LP payout, bonus reward and bonus time.<ref name="ddynamic rewards">http://eve-search.com/thread/795200-0/page/1#1</ref>

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.
