Mission Strategies

1 Overview

Overview

There are a variety of different approaches you can take towards selecting missions. Which ones you follow depend on which objectives you want to be able to work towards. This page will try to distinguish missions based on some of the possible objectives.

NPC Focus

Every ship starts the game with 2 NPC slots. You can unlock additional NPC slots by completing the indicated missions in the following table. The tactical remodulation ability is also useful to purge any non.alerted NPCs from your battle tab so that you can bypass less desirable NPCs for more desirable ones.
