Minmatar COSMOS: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

* Standing boosts: Every last mission an agent offers is an important storyline mission. It boosts standings with a faction, sometimes even from two factions at once. COSMOS missions are probably the fastest way to boost standings in the game. As all the COSMOS agents have the same mechanics as normal agents, you need to have the required standing with the faction or the corporation of the agent to get the mission offers in the first place.

* Storyline blueprint ~~copys~~: Agents often give blueprint ~~copys~~ as reward that can't be found anywhere else. Items made from these blueprints are meta 6 items. While these modules often have weaker stats than tech 2 or even meta 4 modules, they have considerably lesser fitting requirements. The production of the modules is very ~~costy~~. You need unseeded skillbooks like Sleeper Technology as ~~prerequisity~~ and special items only found in the COSMOS COMPLEXes to build them. Thus the items can be very expensive on the contract market but don't have much movement.

* ~~Bountys~~/Loot/Salvage: As there is a lot to shoot at in the COSMOS complexes with low respawn rates, ratting/looting/salvaging can be lucrative. This also includes named NPCs that drop items needed for agent missions, keycards for warpgates and items found in hacking or ~~archaelogy~~ cans used for the production of storyline items. While most of these items only can be traded via contract and don't have much movement on the market, they can sell for a good amount of money. Salvaging and Looting should be done in a team, as you can't come back in a dedicated salvaging boat after clearing the NPCs in a pocket without running into respawns.

Salvaging and Looting should be done in a team, as you can't come back in a dedicated salvaging boat after clearing the NPCs in a pocket without running into respawns.

* Exploration/Lore: COSMOS missions are a refreshing alternative to normal missions. While they always give you a hint where to find the item to finish the mission, you have to search for it. Sometimes you even have to scan down the place where you find it, bring a keycard to access the place or need to hack or analyze a can to loot it. The missions also offer a good amount of lore about New Eden. Players interested in lore should take a look into COSMOS missions.

* Faction ship blueprints: There are agents in the constellation that offer Minmatar faction ship blueprints. You need a very high Minmatar faction standing and you have to bring a lot of Angel pirate tags, but you can obtain 2 run blueprints for Republic Fleet Firetails, Stabber Fleet Issues and Tempest Fleet Issues for your ~~efford~~. Unfortunately, the offers are one-time only.
