== PvE Objectives ==

You can (usually) run from a PvE mission. This makes survivability a strategic objective and means that you can use fancy ships and equipment, as you do not expect to lose them. (''Other players may attack you, however, and ~~accidnets~~ do happen – so Insurance is always a good idea''.)

Each mission has a primary objective, given to you by the mission agent. You should choose your ship and fittings, and plan your tactics, based on this objective. For example, if the mission calls for you to "investigate" an area without necessarily killing any NPCs, you will likely want a faster, more defensive oriented ship and fitting. On the other hand, if the objective says "clear the area of pirates", you will want to bring your best offense to the party.

== Standard Ships by Mission Level ==

These are '''not''' requirements, but rather general guidelines. You can do Level III missions in a destroyer if you want to, and if your skills and abilities will let you pull it off. And although it seems like massive overkill, if you are coming to missioning later in the game and have well developed skills, and want to go fast, you could use a cruiser for both Levels I and II - or a battlecruiser for the first three levels. (Note that a few missions have special "Ship Restrictions" that limit the type of ship that you may use.)

The ships listed here are not a complete set of all "good" mission ships. But these are ones that players often use. Keep in mind that your skills are a ''BIG'' factor in missioning. The Minmatar Hurricane, for example, gets a five percent bonus to turret damage ''and'' rate of fire per Spaceship Command skill level. This means that the damage this ship does at skill Level IV is huge compared to what it does at Level I. The need to selectively train the skills that help you the most cannot be overstated.
