== Mission types ==

Mission type is an in-game parameter that can be found in the mission journal. ~~Prior to the [[Expansions#Viridian|Viridian]] expansion the mission~~ journal was part of the [[Neocom]] and the short-cut settings. However, for the time being as of 30 Augus 2023, the mission journal can still be called using the [[Slash Commands|slash command]] <code>/open journal</code> in any of the chat windows.

Mission type is an in-game parameter that can be found in the mission journal.

There are three basic types of missions that are immediately available to new players: {{Co|#CEE686|Encounter}} mostly given by security division agents, {{Co|#CEE686|Mining}} given by mining division agents, and {{Co|#CEE686|Courier}} given by distribution division agents.

'''[[Distribution missions|Courier missions]]''' (also referred to as distribution) require shipping cargo from station to station or occasionally from agent (in space) to station. Distribution missions have no inherent combat. Courier missions are the fastest mission type to run so they are sometimes used for fast standings gains.

'''[[Mining missions]]''' are given out by Mining division agents and require you to mine a specific mission ore and bring it back to the agent's station. There is a risk of combat during ~~mining~~ missions, ~~though~~ the "belt ~~pirate" <ref group= Note>These pirates "belong~~" ~~to the belt and not to the mission.</ref>~~ NPC hostiles that can show up are usually rather weak. ~~Mote~~ that mission ore with the exception of [[Lyavite in Incursions|Lyavite]] has no other uses and can not be traded on the market.

'''[[Mining missions]]''' are given out by Mining division agents and require you to mine a specific mission ore and bring it back to the agent's station. Level 1 and 2 mining missions have no inherent combat. There is however a risk of combat during these missions, through the "[[belt rat]]" NPC hostiles that can show up and are usually rather weak. Note that mission ore with the exception of [[Lyavite in Incursions|Lyavite]] has no other uses and can not be traded on the market.

'''Trade missions''' The agent wants a specific item to "trade" for the reward. Trade missions have no inherent combat. Trade missions do not occur as basic missions but show up as Storyline and COSMOS missions. The item(s) to trade can often be bought of the market or in contracts but you can also acquire them yourself which might require mining or combat.

'''Talk to Agent missions''' also referred to as travel. The agent sends you to report to another agent. Initiating communication with that agent completes the mission. these mission occur as part of Epic Arcs.
