==== Tips =Rogue Drones ===*Your bonus increases This is the first tree to be written collaboratively between the devs and a player.

Because your bonus loosely depends on The story involves research surrounding the type corruption of collector you kill, try the Hive and select possible influences causing the bot drones to turn against their creators. At the end of this tree the player gains access to the highes xp value that you feel comfortable killing.

=== Delivery = Itani Test Pilot ====One* Completion of this mission unlocks the [[Valkyrie|Valkyrie X-way cargo run1]]. You will have to destroy, without assistance, ten ships that will come in two waves. Can It can be bulktaken from Itani research stations.
''An update a while ago rendered this mission "rewardless" to non-Itani pilots. You can no longer get the [[Valkyrie|Valkyrie X-1]] through this mission due to the max standing limits imposed on other nations being set to +600 while the valkryie X-1 requires +800.'' ==== Tips =Medium Risk Mining Escort ===*If you plan on going somewhere far away from where you are currently or need After the player receives one gift in [http://www.vo-wiki.com/wiki/Missions#Xithricite_Apothecarium Xithricite Apothecarium], a change new branch of missions become available in scenerywhich the player may join Axia's Mining Escort wing, then this eventually earning the [[Equipment#Powercells|Extreme Drain Power Cell.]] Similar to "Xithricite Apothecarium", there is a repeatable mission in which the player must defend a number of mining "excursions". By successfully defending an excursion the player is allowed to continue, otherwise there is a brief period in which the trade mission for youcannot be re-taken (max 18 minutes). Depending on the player's performance in this branch (if they have received at least one extreme drain powercell and at any time completed three excursions in a row), a galaxy-wide mission called "Survey Escort" may be unlocked with similar gameplay that can be taken at any mining station. During Survey Escort there is an Easter egg where by typing "/mission status" into chat, the player receives a HUD message telling him or her how many Survey Escorts s/he has successfully completed. {{br}}(<i>made by phaserlight</i>)
=== Special Delivery ===
=== Procurement Difficult Choices ===Make yourself useful by being You took the first step towards the darker side of space and these missions are your tests to see if you got the guts to be a faction's gopherrat. They ask for something, Will you find stay the course or will your conscience get the better of you in the end and pay for it and bring it back for a reimbursal and paymentturn you against your new brothers. May be bulkAvailable at Corvus stations after taking a detour in Special Delivery.
=== Retrieval The Other side of the Universe ===The same as Procurement missions, only you don't have to buy After joining the cargo. ((And Jallik defense force to make a few extra creds you obviously don't get discover that a reimbursal either!)) Again, may Serco force is building in Edras and it is upto you to help hold them off.The initial mission can be bulkfound at any Itani barracks station labeled "Need creds? Join the Jallik defense force!" which will lead you to the correct mission area.
==== Tips =Hive Research ===*Check the roids in the area outside the station before you select this mission. If you can, pick an ore that you can easily get without leaving the protection You are asked to deliver a series of the station.*A majority of the time, the station will ask for either Aqueaus or Silicate ore. If you take several missions from the same station they may start difficult-to ask for ores such as Ferric, Carbonic, Ishik, VanAzek-acquire hive items, and sometimes Pentric then participate in several reconnaissance and Pyronic.*If you're looking to do primarily mineral missions, try to take missions from "mining stations", they offer 6-8 mineral clandestine missions in a row before they will require you order to take a different mission type.*Stockpiling large ammounts of ore in the station prior gain access to taking the mineral missions can greatly speed up the process. Missions generally require a 32-48cu haul per mission.*While it may not be the fastest, mineral missions are a great way to build up standing with a particular faction. Check the faction your interested in raising your standing with and see if they have a mining station.*Good mining ships are[http:#[[Atlas|Atlas TPG X-Type]] - Great for mining in bot infested asteroid fields, cargo hold (38), single mining beam config//www.#[[Centaur|Centaur Aggresso]] vo- Cargo hold (50cu), twin mining beams configwiki.#[[Marauder|Mineral Maraudercom/wiki/Centurion Centurion Superlight]] - Cargo hold (60cu), twin mining beam config.#[[Behemoth|Behemoth]] - Cargo hold (120cu), twin mining beam config Available at Corvus stations from Combat 4 and on.{{br}}
== Prospecting Missions = A Looming Threat ===There You are 120 Prospecting missions, 4 in each of the systems. All you need asked to do is find 30 roids with address a mineral the station will choose (you will be provided with new threat from your 'ancient enemy' in a scanner; if you have one already series of reconnaissance missions. Available from Combat 5 and on your ship you can use that)for Itani and Serco players only.
===Trading Guild = Tips ====*Take advantage of the fact that these missions are very open in what you can do; you are not required to return to your starting station, you can mine from the roids you scan, you can even log off and continue the mission when you return.*Because the mission only picks commonly found mineral types (Aquean, Carbonic, Ferric, Silicate) and infrequently slightly less common ones (Ishik, VanAzek, Xithricite), you should scout out the area around the station before you start the mission if you want to make it faster. Accept missions where the selected mineral is in a majority of the roids outside the station if you can. Remember: leaving and entering the station will update the prospecting mission and possibly change the type of ore required.{{br}}
==== Tips Delivery ====*When you bot (even if you're not taking this mission), grab the Scrap Metal dropped by the destroyed bots. Store it in some central location that is easy to get to.*If you need it for a Scrap Yard mission, all you have to do is ship it to the station.*Finding a nice wormhole as a choke point, you can also collect scrap metal from harmless traders, and their One-way cargo can be sold for a small profitrun.{{br}}
== Recon/Spy == Special Delivery ====There are four missions in this set* Deliver a unique (non purchasable) item to its destination.
=== Secret Meeting (?) = Procurement ====Your mission * Buy widgets from another station and bring them back. You will be reimbursed. This, especially when 'bulk', is regarded as the most efficient way to use a scanner to find a particular ship within a pack of [[Union of Independent Territories|UIT]] NPCs roaming a randomly-picked sectorraise faction standing.
==== Mission Tab Interface Retrieval ====* Retrieve widgets from another station and bring them back.
==== Tips =Scrap Yard ===*Check to see what bots will be in the sector before you accept. Decline the mission Collect scrap metal and check the sector in your map. If the types of bots look agreeable return it to you, go back and accept the mission.*When scanning the NPC ships, start from the top of the sector list alphabetically and work your way downstation so they can begin a construction project.

=== Anomalous Materials Courier Missions ===Kill "marked" DenTek [[Bots:Collectors|collectors]], but don't let the one with the chemicals touch anything or the mission will fail! You will be given a scanner and a sector to go to. Use the scanner to determine whether the bot is one that counts towards the mission's goal or is carrying the chemicals.
