Missions

  • Updated: March 2024

The missions within TextSpaced are procedurally generated from 101 different mission types. The missions automatically adapt to everything that is happening in the universe and the local area, creating natural regions of groups of mission types. Missions are generated for all different skill levels and the more difficult the mission is based on your current skill level, the higher the rewards will be. You can accept any mission that is at your skill level for a given skill or up to ten levels higher.

With so many types of missions to complete covering all types of activities, you will always have missions to complete in tasks you enjoy.

Missions appear in the missions window in the missions section, where you can browse all the missions available and sort by distance, level and title as well as search based on the type of mission, skill requirement, factor or the rewards it is providing. Each mission will state a brief objective, what is required, the rewards and the skill requirement.

you will always have missions to complete

Missions you accept appear in the active mission group of the missions window. You can also choose to abandon missions you accepted, but doing this you will lose any deposit paid, lose karma with issuing faction and future deposits for missions will be higher.

Missions themselves are issued by outposts from any faction near to you that you are not at war with, including your own, and that have not barred missions. Completing a mission will provide the described reward which is usually credits and will often provide a change to your factors resulting in a skill point earned. It will also improve karma relations between your faction and the issuing faction. Most missions also have an intrinsic benefit for the issuing faction as well, such as the faction receiving the goods you supply.

at this moment you can accept 780 different missions

Faction Missions

If your faction has a colony structure, such as a settlement or a town, you will sometimes also receive colony requests. These requests work just like missions apart from anyone in the faction can contribute to them, and they can be partially completed like some other missions. If a colony request is completed it will provide a population boom, if failed, a population delcine. Some requests are also time sensitive, for instance a request to stop a virus spreading if not completed will have ongoing negative effects and compounded negative effects if not complete.

Sometimes faction missions will appear that are only available for faction members to complete. Completing these missions provide a benefit to your faction, but can often be difficult.

Objectives

Objectives including ongoing objectives, daily objectives and mission streaks.

Ongoing objectives are objectives that adjust to what you are doing in the game, and as you complete these objectives you will earn better and better rewards.

Daily objectives are set each day and are the same for all players, completing these objectives will result in a credit reward or skill level reward. The skill level reward provides a skill level increase to all skills.

If you complete the same mission back-to-back without completing a different type of mission you can increase your mission streak bonus. If you complete the mission streak you will receive a skill point for each factor.

Away Missions

Once you have crew, you can send them on away missions that are available. Away missions require a set number of crew of specific roles to be sent and when on an away mission will be marked as 'away', meaning they provide no benefits. If you click into an away mission you will be able to read the away mission details and choose which crew to send. As you populate the crew roster the chance of success will increase. If the away mission succeeds the crew will gain skill, if it fails, they might lose skill or even worse be killed in action.

Trade Requests

If you wish you can create a trade request where you set specific cargo to be traded in exchange for other cargo. You can also view any open requests and accept these if you wish. To accept a trade request you must have the specified items in the hold of an Outpost structure, accepting the trade request will automatically complete after the delivery times has expired and your faction will be notified.

Season

Each month a new season starts which see's you gain season points for that season by performing specific objectives. You can review what the objective is, how many season points you have obtained as well as review the rewards for achieving different levels in the season. To claim a reward you must progress through the levels in order, but the season points do carry over, so sometimes it is worth holding on to them.

Contracts

Using faction rep you can take out contracts with other factions to perform stated tasks. Rep can be earned from completing missions, completing season levels and sometimes from using consumables such as capsules or intel. Anyone in the faction can use rep to take out a contract and the available contracts lists the rep required and in brackets how much rep your faction has with the given faction. Rep is completely lost if hostile action is taken against a faction.

Events

Events begin at the start of each month and can last between one and three weeks. Events are entire community focused, such as working together to destroying a comet heading for a populated system. Events are very different from each other but often provide very good rewards and skill gains. If an event is active you can click the event name to review all of its details.

Raid

Raids are continual events you can attempt while in a full squad of five, to earn loot and other rewards. To partake in a raid at least one person in your squad should have a B-Chip (you can find more about B-Chips from the window).

They are difficult and different from one another, and you should review the brief carefully before taking part. Only one type of raid is available in a given area of the galaxy, travelling to other locations may reveal different raids.

All raids have a modifier which increases each time raid targets are destroyed, if any person leaves the raid area, the modifier is reset to zero. The modifier increases any raid rewards up to a maximum modifier of five times, or 5x, and the raid rewards will indicate how the modifier is increased. When the raid modifier is increased this is stated in your log.

Raid loot refers to cargo that is dropped by destroying any raid targets, and will often be exotic or legendary in rarity.

Jobs

As you travel around the galaxy you may encounter characters that will give you optional jobs to complete. You can track any open jobs from the jobs section including your rapport with the character and the next objective. Jobs are accepted when communicating with a character in a chat conversation after accepting an incoming transmission.

Once you have arrived visit the adrift cargo section in the cargo window and find the beacon (remember it might not be on page one if there are lots of items adrift). Using the contextual menu you can recover the beacon. Once you are in possession of the beacon travel to the location specified to deliver it. Again, from the mission briefing you can select the position or location to start travel. The final step involves starting simulated combat against a ship.
