Missions


Currently there are 65 main story missions which can be completed, as well as several side missions, bonus missions (unlockable by completing side missions) and weekly events. As you progress with the story, the missions become more difficult and rewarding (in terms of average loot quality).

Story Missions
Story missions have a fairly steady difficulty curve as you progress. These missions also move the story line ahead. Note: Story missions can be replayed as long as you are in the sector the mission exists in. You cannot backtrack into a previous sector to replay those missions.

Side missions
These missions are not imperative to the story but are helpful for finding loot and unlocking bonus missions which can provide better loot. These missions are actually rated by level of difficulty and likely level of cargo drop.
 * White missions - Easy, mostly common drops
 * Green missions - More difficult, mostly uncommon drops
 * Blue missions - Difficult, mostly rare drops
 * Purple missions - Very difficult, mostly very rare drops
 * Orange missions - Very difficult, mostly legendary drops

Please note that while orange missions may drop legendary cargo containers, it is not certain. Often times legendary missions will drop common containers with common items, or legendary containers with common items. At the same time, it is possible to get higher rarity items from missions of lesser common (ex. an uncommon pod from a white mission, or a very rare one from a blue one).
