9. Missions

Throughout the galaxy, hundreds of beings are seeking intrepid adventurers for odd jobs and dangerous assignments. If you' re looking for a few credits or want something to fight, you can use a Mission Terminal to find work.

WHEN YOU' RE JUST STARTIN' OUT, THERE' S NO BETTER WAY TO EARN A FEW QUICK CREDITS THAN BY PICKIN' UP A MISSION AT A PUBLIC MISSION TERMINAL. THESE MISSIONS AIN'T CYBERNETIC SURGERY; BUT THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS. STILL, IF YOU' RE UP TO THE TASK, YOU CAN FINISH A MISSION PRETTY QUICKLY AND COLLECT A NICE REWARD.

9.3. Missions And The Datapad

All details of your mission are stored in your Datapad. Open your Datapad (CTRL+ D keys) and double-click on the Waypoint icon to read the mission details. The Datapad also stores a waypoint to your target. When you accept a mission, the waypoint is automatically transferred to your Datapad and will appear as an orange arrow on your radar. To find your target, simply head toward the waypoint. You can activate and deactivate the waypoint in the mission details. Finally, you can abandon a mission by choosing Abort Mission in the mission details.

9.4. Completing A Mission

Missions are accomplished by meeting the mission goals within a certain period of time. Destroy missions focus around destroying hazardous objects out in the wild. When you've destroyed the target, you will be rewarded with credits. These credits are automatically transferred into your galactic bank account.

Delivery missions are completed by taking an item from one NPC to another (sometimes through treacherous territory) . Once you deliver the item, your reward will be automatically deposited into your bank account.

9.5. Bounty Hunter Missions

Bounty Hunters gain access to special bounty hunting missions. These are only accessible through special terminals in key sites in the game. A bounty hunter mission only assigns a target; it does not provide a waypoint to your prey.

To track down your target, you must use special droids, which can be purchased from other players. Use the radial menu on your bounty hunting droid to send the droid in pursuit of your quarry. Once the droid locates the target, you will receive a waypoint. However, bounty hunter targets are mobile, so there' s no guarantee your prey will be waiting for you at the waypoint. You may need to send more than one droid after your target.

9.6. Other Mission Types

The mission system also creates a number of other missions for specialized skill sets. The additional mission types include:
  • Crafting: Requires you to create and deliver specific items for an NPC.
  • Entertainment (Gigs): Requires you to perform for specific NPCs.
  • Surveying: Requires that you locate specific resources for an NPC.
