Missions

Missions are issued within each territory you defend with your squads. Their goals vary and typically include protecting assets from the Vek (and powered buildings, of course).

Difficulty

Global modifiers

All missions are affected by the difficulty level selected in the hangar:

• Normal: Designed to provide an interesting challenge to new and experienced players.
• Easy Mode: Reduced enemy spawn rates. Score is reduced by 50%.
• Hard Mode: Increased spawn rates and more Alpha Vek. Score is increased by 50%.

There's no penalty for unlocking islands on Easy mode first.

Local modifiers

Missions also have local difficulty modifiers:

• Easy: Defensive shields are placed on random buildings.
• Medium: No modifier applied.
• Hard: High-threat detected, meaning at least one alpha Vek and increased spawns.

Rewards

Every mission has certain rewards granted to the player as long as they fulfill an optional objective. Most missions grant either one or two reputation points within a corporation in exchange for fulfilling a specific goal. Additionally, some missions will grant grid power in exchange for the protection of a specific building. A time pod may also randomly appear in a mission, requiring the player to either have a mech stand on the tile on which it appears in order to collect it or to prevent the Vek from destroying it until the end of the mission. Time pods typically give the player a reactor core and either a randomly selected item or a randomly selected special pilot.

Types

Missions are divided into two types

Low and high value, granting 1 and 2 points of Corporate Reputation respectively.
