Faction Rank





FACTIONS


As of April 10, 2006, three Factions exist in the game: Federation, Empire, and the Union.


MISSIONS


A variety of missions can be done in order to gain rank. Each mission causes the player to progress towards the next rank, and will give the player a monetary reward. As the player progresses in rank, all missions get harder, and the time-limits shorter making requiring more planning on the player's part.

Package transport missions give players an amount of secret passages that must be transported to a predetermined starbase or planet.

Explosives transport missions are like package missions, only all explosives on board will detonate when the player encounters a wormhole anomaly, doing damage directly to the player's hull. Consequently, the amount to transport is lower, and the time-limits and pay are higher.

Assassination missions require the player to kill monsters. Depending on the mission, the player must kill either a specific monster, or a number of monsters of a certain type.

In VIP missions, the player must carry a special commodity called VIP. With a VIP on board, the player can only be carrying fuel, robots and the VIP. When on VIP missions, the player must gain a certain amount of Experience Point s with the VIP on board and then return the VIP to the point of departure.
