MISSIONSNon-Plot Missions (Got ship need Credits)When docked at a Station, select Station, Bulletin Board (BBS), read the news and see whatmissions are available. There are a number of trading and non-trading missions you canobtain from station Bulletin Boards. These can sometimes help you increase your reputationand more importantly increase your Credits. Here are some of the more basic missions youcan use to get started. It is important to note that some of these will require a particulartrading and or fighting rank for you to be accepted for them.Taxi Runs (Take me here, there and everywhere)This is a very simple mission that can make you some decent money at the start of a newgame. It requires you to take the person offering this mission to the station of his choice withina certain amount of time. If you succeed in bringing him or her to the station on time, you getpaid. If not, you get a nasty message and a bad record in your personal info screen. The timelimit is very long, so it is easy to make lots of money, albeit slowly, with these missions.The higher your rank and status the higher the payments will be, as your reputation willdetermine how reliable you are. You can use the Jumpdrive without penalty to get therequicker. Equally if you are late you will not get paid. Unlike the next missions it will be unlikelythat you will encounter hostile forces.Shady Taxi Runs (Xenon Invitations)These are like sending out invitations to the Xenon for captures, Credits and reputation. Youwill be asked by some character to help them get for Location A to Location B, but they willwarn you that you are likely to encounter some Xenon or hostile forces that may try to stopthem reaching their destination.If you have bitten off more than you can chew and are completely out-gunned, a simplestrategy is to head for the nearest gate at great speed. Then on the other side of the gate youwill be able to catch them in ones or twos at a time.Xenon Invasion Missions (Help wanted)Here is another chance for you to not only impress the locals and get plenty of race andfighting rank increases, but you will also get paid good Credits for your troubles. To find thesemissions, dock at various trading stations that are one to three sectors from any Xenon sectorand check out the Bulletin boards. The amount of and types of Xenon will increase the higheryour ranking, so they will always tax your current skills and abilities, but the rewards will alsoincrease accordingly.This is also a good way to acquire lots of race rank boosts; with lots of enemies to clear up,the locals will be very grateful and your status will improve with them.Trading MissionsThese are usually requests to collect and deliver some urgently needed resources for astation in the same or other sectors. There are usually quite strict collection and deliverytimescales, so it is important to have a Jumpdrive and a range of ships available. Somemissions may require the class of your current ship and others may need a TS Transporterclass ship.67Plot Missions 1 to 7 [SPOILER]When you start in Argon Prime you will have an Argon Buster M4 equippedwith a Jumpdrive and will receive a request from Ban Danna that you jointhe squadron that is waiting for you in the sector of ‘Home of Light’. In thisfirst mission Gamma Flight will be waiting by the north gate of that sector.
