PSSMissions

This page contains details about singleplayer missions in the computer game "Pixel Starships".

The list of missions is incomplete because I started recording details only when my ship was already at ship level 6.

Mission types

There are three mission types:

• Ground mission: You select 3 crew members from your crew. They fight against 1 or more waves of enemies, each wave consisting of 1 or 3 enemies:
  • The last wave always consists of a single boss enemy which usually is considerably stronger than the previous enemies.
  • The waves before the boss always consist of 3 weaker enemies.

At least one of your crew members must survive in order to win the mission. The reward is a fixed amount of XP (always 100), awarded to the surviving crew members, plus optionally some resources.

• Ship battle: The usual stuff you are used to from PVP. The reward is a variable amount of XP (depending on your trophy count), plus optionally some resources. Surviving crew members get the full amount of XP, while crew members that died get only half.
• Do nothing: You don't have to do anything. The reward is either nothing at all, or some variable amount of resources - usually a very low amount. On the Galaxy Map the reward always includes an XP book, the rarity of which scales with the recommended sihp level for the mission line. These missions never award any XP.

Strategies

Ground mission strategy

Early game:

• Take 1 crew member with the Cryo Blast ability to freeze enemies. The ability can be used every second turn, so enemies can be kept permanently frozen.
• Take 1 crew member with Critical Attack ability to quickly kill the boss or other high HP enemies.
• Take 1 crew member with high HP to defend and protect the Cryo Blast crew from being killed.

Mid-game:

• 1 Cryo Blast crew member.
• 2 Poison Gas crew members.

Late game:

• 2 powerful Poison Gas crew members (I mostly use 2 Zombies).
• Any other crew member that needs XP, but that has sufficient HP to survive any flak from the attackers before they get eaten by the Zombies.
• When the opponents are droids with high movement speed you still need a Cryo Blast crew member to survive.

Ship battle strategy

Whatever strategy your ship uses in PVP. Singleplayer mission ship battles are usually considerably easier than PVP ship battles, so you shouldn't really have any trouble here.

That being said, there are occasional challenging seasonal or other storyline missions. But if you have difficulties with the recurring daily missions that's a sure sign that you need to improve your ship and crew.

  • You take a little jaunt down to the hypergate. If anything is happening, it's probably happening here.

    • Why does this keep happening? Honestly, this has completely wrecked your plans for the day.

  • Mission text
    • What is this? Strange murmurs assault your mind as a Gray saucer jumps into the system.

Dolores missions

Gathering Dolores parts

When you start the game you get a Dolores Head item for free. The storyline is that the synthetical body of Dolores has somehow been blown apart, and that it's jour job to gather the missing parts so that you can put everything together to get Dolores back.

You need the following items to achieve this goal:

• 1 Dolores Head item: You get this item for free when you start the game.
• 2 Female Synth Arm items: You get these from the "Arms Race" mission that randomly pops up when you log in to the game. Each time you get the mission you wager a small amount of Starbux (currently 15 Starbux) and with luck you win one Female Synth Arm item. So you need to get the mission at least two times, and spend at least 30 Starbux to get the necessary 2 arm items. In reality the RNG element requires you to try many more times and spend more Starbux. I never managed to gather the 2 arm items with my main account alone, but when I started leveling a few alt accounts the mission popped up sufficiently often so that I was able to gather the 2 arm items within about a month.
• 2 Female Synth Leg items. You get these from the "Synth Delivery" mission that randomly pops up when you log in to the game. Each time you get the mission you can buy 1 or 4 leg items for Starbux, so either not enough, or too much. If you're willing to pray to RNGesus to get the mission a second time you can try and buy only 1 leg item - this is the most cost-efficient solution. If you are an agnostic you will choose the bulk solution and buy 4 leg items. The interesting thing is that when you have the subscription the +50% reward bonus will yield +2 for a total of 6 leg items! You can then sell these on the market, hopefully to come out even.
• 1 Female Synth Body item: You get this item from a mission when your ship reaches level 10. You have to win a ground mission or ship battle to get the item as a reward. See the Archenar section for details.

When you have all the parts you can use them to craft a Dolores crew member. She has rarity Special, the Freeze Bomb special ability, and other stats that are quite nice. The only drawback is that she hasn't got any slots for equipping items. Check out Pixyship for details.

Arms Race

This mission occasionally pops up at random when you log in to the game. I encountered the mission at ship levels 3, 5 (also while upgrading to ship level 6) and 9.

The opponent does not have a Teleport nor Hangar room, so there's nothing to fear from these strategies. The simplest way for beating this opponent probably is to manually focus-fire on a particular room like hell. Likely candidates are the single Shield Generator or the single Ion Cannon.

Galaxy Map missions (new)

Introduction

The Galaxy Map consists of 50 star systems that the player can travel to. When the player selects a star system there is either nothing to do there, or the star system shows 1-n icons that offer single-player missions that the player can do. I call these icons "mission lines" - maybe not the best of terms.

When the player taps a mission line's icon, a number of information pieces are shown:

• A title for the entire mission line.
• How many missions the player can do in that mission line per day. So far the range varies between 3-5 missions/day, with higher-level mission lines generally offering less missions. Certain mission lines show multiple missions/day although in reality they offer only a single non-repeatable mission. Example: The new Draconian missions.
• A level range, probably indicating which ship levels the mission line is most suitable to.
• A flavour text that describes what the missions in the mission line are all about.
• A "Start" button that lets the player start a mission in that mission line.

Note: Some mission lines are available only once.

The System overview section has an overview of all star systems in the Galaxy Map and their mission lines. The Profitable missions section lists the systems that are most worthwile to visit in terms of mission rewards.

Daily mission limit

A player can do a maximum number of missions per day. The limit used to be 40, but this has been increased to an as yet unknown number. The following missions count towards that limit:

• Regular daily missions not on the GM (e.g. Procyon Sector, Archenar, etc.)
• Daily missions on the GM
• All types of mining missions. Starting the mission is what counts, so even if you decide during the dialogue not to deploy the Mining Drone the mission will be deducted from your daily limit.

The mission with which you turn in Unobtainium samples to Prof. Brenda in the Discovery system does not count towards the daily limit. However, once you have reached the limit you also can no longer turn in Unobtainium samples - I consider this a bug.

How to travel

When you travel to a system that is not yet 100% explored you can't rush the journey, even with Starbux, you just have to wait. It is therefore best when you arrive at your destination to wait until the system is 100% explored, so that when you travel to it, or through it, the next time you can rush the journey.

When you travel to a system that is already 100% explored you can rush the journey. If the duration is below 5 minutes the rush is free. If the duration is 5 minutes or more it will cost Starbux.

You can travel to a destination that is not adjacent to your current system. The game in this case calculates the route that gets you to your destination in the least amount of time. This may result in surprising routes which can help you identify short routes that you haven't noticed yet. The game highlights the entire route for you to see which waypoints your ship will travel through.

When the ship is traveling you can re-route it to a new destination at any time, you don't have to wait until it has arrived at its destination. The only thing you can't do is return to the origin system from where you started. This re-routing is especially useful if you find yourself on an unexpected multi-leg journey and don't want to wait until you have arrived at your final destination - you can simply select your next waypoint and let the journey end there.

How to travel fast

On 5. May 2020 Savy reduced travel times by an estimated overall 80% throughout the entire GM. This section therefore has become obsolete and will be eventually deleted.

There are a number of routes that get you across the galaxy fast because they consist only of jumps that are less than 5 minutes long, so you can insta-rush the individual jumps at no cost.

Here are some connections that let you travel long distances in only one or two jumps:

• The Central "V" route. This consists of two long-distance jumps that together form a "V" shape at the center of the galaxy. Both jumps vertically connect the north and the south of the galaxy, both sharing Arcturus as the nexus.
  • The Arcturus - Gamma Draconis leg, or the left leg of the "V" shape.
  • The Arcturus - Luyten 726-8 leg, or the right leg of the "V" shape. The direct connection between Arcturus and Luyten 726-8 is hard to spot because visually it looks as if Arcturus and Luyten 726-8 are both connected to Golgotha.
• The Northern Streak: Valhalla - Aldebaran. This connects the western and eastern side of the galaxy and is located in the galactic north.
• The Southern Run: Vega - Arcturus - Sirius. This also connects the western and eastern side of the galaxy and is located in the galactic south. It is slightly longer than the Northern Streak because it takes jumps.

Other notable routes:

• The Outer Rim Route. The systems that surround the Galaxy allow you to quickly circumnavigate the Galaxy.
  • The full route consists of 18 jumps and looks like this: Homeworld - Tau Ceti - Freyja - Algol - Epsilon Eridani - Vega - Arcturus - Sirius - Fomalhaut - Pylon - Fortitude - Whitestar - Sol - Alpha Centauri - Aldebaran - Valhalla - Gliese 1 - Capella - Homeworld.
  • Only three connections are longer than 5 minutes, they are all 6 minutes long: Tau Ceti - Freyja, Sirius - Fomalhaut and Alpha Centauri - Aldebaran.
• The three faction star clusters. Each faction has a cluster of stars near their homeworld that are interconnected with insta-rushable jumps.
  • The Qtarian Cluster is located north-east of Homeworld, in the direction of Capella. Tau Ceti and Canopus are also easily reachable.
  • The Federation Cluster is located southwards of Sol, in the direction of Whitestar. Alpha Centauri and Discipline are also easily reachable.
  • The Pirate Cluster is located to the left of Arcturus, in the direction of Vega. Sirius is also easily reachable, and of course Arcturus is the nexus point of the central "V" route.

Mining

Mining Drone

• You get a Mining Drone for free when you complete the "Mining 101" mission line in the Tau Ceti system.
  • Because I had access to the beta Galaxy Map I also own a second Mining Drone.
  • There currently is a bug that gives you one additional Mining Drone when you collect a mining operation of the prospecting type.
• If you discard your Mining Drone you can later obtain a new one from Prof. Brenda in the Discovery system, but it costs 50 Starbux. TODO: Verify whether this is till true in the released GM. The information is from the alpha GM.
• While you have it, the Mining Drone occupies a slot in your inventory. It counts simply as a "Material" and you can't do anything with it except deploying it during a mining mission (see further down) or discarding it.
• Deploying the Mining Drone takes it out of your inventory.
• Tip: If you want to free the inventory slot you should not discard the drone because it costs Starbux to reacquire it. Instead you can simply deploy the drone and then not collect it again until you have the necessary inventory space. This simple way of "parking" the Mining Drone is possible because the mining mission will never expire.

There are two types of mining operations:

• Prospecting: These operations yield a fragment of a material (e.g. Carbon Fragment) or if you're lucky an entire material (e.g. Carbon). At ship level 11 (possibly before) you have access to 10 systems where you can do prospecting: Each of the 5 materials can be prospected in 2 systems. Every prospecting system is limited to 3 missions per day.
• Mining for riches: These operations yield Unobtainium (2 systems) or a Void Particle (1 system). You can do as many of these missions as the daily limit allows.

How to mine:

• Travel to the desired system and start the mining mission.
• Once you have deployed the mining drone in a system, that system is marked up with a mining drill symbol on the Galaxy Map.
• Mining operations take a certain time to complete:
  • Prospecting operations take 12 or 18 hours to complete, depending on which material you're prospecting for. Iron, Carbon: 12 hours. Silicon, Gold and Titanium: 18 hours.
  • Unobtainium and Void Particle mining operations take 1 hour to complete.
• Regardless of which system your ship is in currently, you can select the mining system in the Galaxy Map to see the current status of the mining operation:
  • When the operation is in progress: The system description box shows a timer counting down and a button "Rush".
  • When the operation is complete: The system description box shows the text "Completed" and a button "Collect".
• You can immediately complete the mining operation by tapping the button "Rush" and paying an amount of Starbux. For this you have to be in the mining system.
• Once the mining operation is complete you can travel to the mining system and press the "Collect" button to gather both the Mining Drone and the yield of the mining operation.
  • You must have sufficient space in your inventory to store both the Mining Drone and the yield. If this is not the case you get a "Storage Full" error.
    • If the yield is Unobtainium there currently is a bug that when you have only 1 (one) space in your inventory the game will collect the Mining Drone but discard the Unobtainium. TODO: Is this bug also in effect when the yield is Void Particle or a material/material fragment?

Yields

• Iron or Iron Fragment: Ross 248, Ross 128.
• Carbon or Carbon Fragment: Pilgrimage, Epsilon Aurigae (the mission line is called "Asteroid Mining").
• Silicon or Silicon Fragment: Gliese 1, Pylon.
• Gold or Gold Fragment: Betelgeuse, Epsilon Eridani.
• Titanium or Titanium Fragment: Tycho, Osiris 2.
• Unobtainium sample: Durendal, Polaris.
• Void Particle: Osiris 2.

Unobtainium sample

• Each Unobtainium sample occupies a slot in your inventory. It counts simply as a "Material" and can be used for two things.
• It can be turned in to Prof. Brenda at the Discovery system, currently for no apparent reward.
• It is also an ingredient for crafting a Steampunk Visiri Helm. The recipe is 1x Unobtainium sample, 1x Steampunk Helmet, 1x Visiri EVA Helm.

System overview

This section has three tabulated lists of all 50 star systems that are currently available in the Galaxy Map, providing an overview of which mission lines are available in each system. Every star system that has missions to play through also links to a dedicated section further down where the details of the missions can be found.

Note: The list was compiled from what is available to a Qtarian. If you are a Fed or Pirate you will see different mission lines.

Caveat: Content that is marked up with strikethrough is content that has its origin in the Galaxy Map beta. For the moment I keep this content around as a reference in case future GM updates make the content available again in some form.

List of systems with mining-related missions

Ross 248 With only 0.2% of the luminosity of Earth's sun, Ross 248 is one of the few solar bodies that can be safely observed with the naked eye.
Iron mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for Iron
Ross 128 This dim red star radiates mainly in the infrared band, requiring colonists to undergo experimental eye surgery to let them see in the star's light.
Iron mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for Iron
Pilgrimage The settlers of this system live in low-tech religious communes, making or growing what they need. This self-reliance makes them an objet of both ridicule and envy to the rest of human society.
Carbon mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for carbon
Epsilon Aurigae An artificial cloud of unknown provenance enshrouds the bright stars of this system, causing regular solar eclipses.
Asteroid mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for carbon
Gliese 1 Prolonged exposure to gamma radiation from the young star has left the otherwise thriving colony of Gliese 1 with high rates of infertility, requiring sustained immigration to maintain the population.
Silicon mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for silicon
Pylon Primary battleground of the eponymous Pylon wars, this war-shattered system serves as the dividing line between the two modern human nations.
Silicon mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for silicon
Epsilon Eridani This bright youthful star is orbited by several vast asteroid belts, and sees constant low-key conflicts between the countless mining concerns based here.
Gold mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for gold
Betelgeuse This elderly red supergiant is expected to go supernova in the next million or so years. Until then, its solar winds are an important source of hyperspace fuel ingredients.
Gold mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for gold
Tycho Although no life exists on the searing surface of this system's tectonically active world, the volcanic ashes fetch a high price on farming colonies galaxy-wide.
Titanium mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for titanium
Osiris 2 Proximity to the galactic core has produced rare and novel compounds on this system's terrestrial bodies.
Titanium mining	3/day	-	Prospecting for titanium
Osiris 2 Exploration	-	-	TODO	This mission line is currently not available.
Deploy mining drone	-	-	mine for riches	This mission line is currently not available.
Durendal Artificial satellites of unknown make orbit the planets of this system, broadcasting strange messages in a long-dead tongue.
Explore Durendal	3/day	11-12	Survey the rubble of a fallen empire.
Deploy mining drone	-	-	mine for riches	This mission line is currently not available.
Polaris A wasteland of ruined warships and radioactive rubble. Nothing lives here, nor would it if it could.
Explore Polaris	3/day	11-12	Search for riches amongst the ruins.
Deploy mining drone	-	-	mine for riches	This mission line is currently not available.
Discovery Long abandoned by both the Federation and the pirate kingdoms, this tiny outpost is forced to deal with smugglers, slavers, and other dregs of society, in order to stay afloat.
Unobtainium delivery	-	-	Return to Brenda with some Unobtainium	This mission line is currently not available.

List of systems with no missions.

Deneb An uninhabited system. Host to several gas giants, and notable primarily for its importance in Visiri migratory patterns.
Frozen Dream	5	-	User mission for Deneb system	Only one non-repeatable mission.
Ross 154 This star system is one of over a thousand catalogued by ancient American astronomer Frank Elmore Ross in the years leading up to the space age.
No missions.
Capella Whilst the planets of this system show evidence of Qtarian habitation in the distant past, extreme heat from the quadruple stars has made recolonization impractical with current technologies.
No missions.
Demeter Named for an ancient human deity of agriculture, this system (by pure coincidence) is well suited for growing crops, and supplies much of the Qtarian empire with the food produced here.
No missions.
Rigel In spite of Rigel's proximity to the Qtarian homeworld, the inhospitable nature of it's ternary star system has discouraged even the incautious Qtarians from thorough exploration.
No missions.
Vega Repeat failed attempts by the Pirate kingdomes to colonize the planets orbiting this blazing white giant have led to rumours that the system is cursed.
No missions.
Eurynome The rich ocean moons of this system's primary gas giant provide clean water and food to the wider galaxy, and have made its inhabitants fabulously wealthy.
No missions.
Alpha Draconis Conspiracy theorists say that lizardmen from this system secretly lurk in human society, plotting their downfall. A ridiculous claim, of course; as any schoolchild can tell you, lizardmen are from Gamma Draconis.
No missions.
Lalande 21185 Home to one of the oldest human colonies, the vast factory cities of this system serve to arm the entirety of the Federation Navy.
No missions.
Whitestar The harsh desert planets of this forbidding system are used as a testing ground for new Federation weaponry, much to the chagrin of those already settled there.
No missions.
Proxima Centauri This dull red dwarf system has little to recommend it, except as a burial ground for the Children of the Torch.
No missions.

Profitable missions

This section contains a list of the most profitable Galaxy Map mission options in terms of Gas rewards. The list was compiled for a level 11 Qtarian ship.

Summary: Even if you hate the Galaxy Map and do nothing else on it, you should at least do the 6 daily missions (3 per system) for the Durendal and Polaris systems. These missions yield more Gas than the highest paying daily missions in Altair did before the release of the Galaxy Map. In addition if you're lucky you will get a mission in Durendal that pays out a whopping 1.1M Minerals.

At the time of writing it was not possible for a level 11 ship to do missions in systems other than those on the list, so in theory it is possible that other systems have mission options that are more profitable. In practice this is rather unlikely, though: Experience with the Galaxy Map beta showed that the best-paying missions are also those designed for the highest ship levels.

Caveat: The following numbers are based on the simplified assumption that all missions are equally likely to pop up. This assumption is probably wrong.

This paragraph is outdated and needs to be recalculated once the Gas rewards for Fortitude and Algol are available. The average total daily Gas reward for doing all daily missions listed below is about 1'106'060. If you add the 50% subscription bonus the average daily yield is about 1'659'090 Gas.

Homeworld

Patrol Homeworld System

The information in this section was collected for the Galaxy Map beta and has not yet been updated for the released Galaxy Map. An update is unlikely because the released GM blocks me from accessing the mission lines because I have a level 11 ship. The experience from other systems where I can still do missions is that most of the time only the reward changes (usually it is lower than in the beta).

  • Outcome: O2-1.
  • Win text
    • You disable the traders, and their sudden bloodlust seems to recede somewhat. They remain unapologetic for their actions though, which seems like a pretty Qtarian thing to do.

• Like the warming rays of Homeworld's gentle red sun, you feel The Choir touch your mind from across the void.
• The unified voice of the Qtarian race speaks directly into your consciousness, soft and intimate as a lover's sigh.
• The Choir: Oh hey Buddy! What's cracking, champ?
• The Choir: Given the generally sober tone of your species, nobody really knows why it sounds like that. It's been like that as long as anyone can remember though, and at this point everyone seems to be a bit scared to ask.
• You: Well, I'm --
• The Choir: -- Off on another salvage mission? Such diligence! Anyway, we thought you should know that new mineral you brought home has our brightest minds working around the clock.
• You: Oh, that's --
• The Choir: -- Great? It could be better, if we're being honest. The samples you provided have been expended, and all we've learned so far is that Qtarian scientists uniformly suffer nervous breakdowns if they try to stay up for two hundred hours straight.
• The Choir: Anyway, forget about the salvage run; The Collective has greater need of your skills. Qtarian spies in the Federation have heard reports of more of this mineral in the Canopus system.
• The Choir: We need you to go there and confirm the reports, ahead of a major mining operation. Think you're up to it? Of course you do! Now, get on out of here, and make your species proud!

Outcome: M1.

Win text: None.

• You arrive to find the Qtarian armada being quite literally assembled for combat; weld lines still glow red on roughshod ranks of warships.
• Draconian scientist: Ah, the Qtarians, our old enemy. How far you've fallen since last we met. At least your material wealth will provide value to us.
• Qtarian envoy: Funny, we were just thinking the same thing about you.
• Qtarian envoy: The call to war echoes silently through the Qtarian neural net, and the armada advances as one.

  • You: Crystals! That's what we were sent here to find.
  • Deviant: They're still there, near as I can tell. The pirates didn't seem too interested in the planet itself; I believe this was just an attack of opportunity on their way out of the system.
  • You: Those savages! Destroying qtarian ships, kidnapping a pretty little -- A strapping young -- A fine, um, adult qtarian like yourself.

• You: They weren't; something about the crystal formations on this planet. Have you had the opportunity to collect any samples? They are of great interest to Homeworld.
• Foreman: Of course! We might be marooned and starving, with no hope of rescue, but we're still Qtarians. We'd never miss the opportunity to collect a neat-looking rock.

  • You: No time to lose then, With any luck, our team on the ground has gotten their act together.
  • You: As your ship drifts into orbit with the ruin-world, you again feel an almost physical blow as your psychic link to the collective is torn away.
  • You: There is no time to process the profound loss welling in your chest, however, as proximity alarms begin to sound.

  • You: Dev, I need you to get the ship's computer back online. I'm gonna go find out what the hell is going on down there.
  • Deviant: Captain, wait! If you go down there, you'll be completely cut off. You won't be able to call for help if anything goes wrong.
  • You: Don't tell me you're worried about me, Dev.

• After the silence of that horrible ruin-world, the blooming warmth of the Choir threatens to bring a tear to your eye.
• The Choir: Hey there! Haven't heard anything from you for a hot minute, so I thought I'd check in. What's the hold-up?
• You: Well, I --
• The Choir: -- You located the remains of a lost salvage fleet, and defended it against an incursion of human ships? Well done! We knew you were the right one for the job!
• You: Er, thanks. Unfortunately --
• The Choir: -- The strange minerals displayed a deleterious effect on Qtarian consciousness, forcing you to destroy those affected? Heavy, dude.
• Deviant: Would you --
• The Choir: -- Stop doing that? Not right now, it's much faster than letting you talk.
• The Choir: It's clear that this requires further investigation. Consensus (by which I mean myself) says the best course of action would be to establish a permanent research station in the system. As our de facto expert in these crystal things, command of said station will fall to you. Sounds fun, right? Get on it, kids!
• The Choir: With that, the Choir recedes, frustrating your efforts to have any of your questions answered. As you watch the first construction ships pass through the hypergate, you suspect that life isn't set to quiet down any time soon.

Intro text

• Frequent meteor storms wrack this system, making mining a dangerous but rewarding proposition.
• Input your coordinates, captain.

Option 1: Patrol planetary surface.

• Intro text
  • Molten veins of magma throb in the deep crevices of this planet, illuminating staggering mountains of diamond and rare earth metals.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • You've just finished marking a likely looking ore field when the ground begins to shake.
    • It seems this planet has a native population after all, and they are not friendly!
  • Outcome: O1-1.
  • Win text
    • Eventually you destroy enough attackers to drive the rest off. Unfortunately they've dealt heavy damage to your mining gear, and you have to abandon the dig.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • You manage to mark out and harvest an entire lode of mineral ore without being harassed once.
    • You cart the sparkling gems back to your ship, unable to believe your luck.
  • Outcome: O1-2.
  • Win text: None.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • A quick scan strikes gold, quite literally. A vein of ore lays exposed on the planet surface, waiting to be mined.
    • Your harvest preparations are interrupted by the appearance of another Qtarian ship, which demands exclusive mining rights. Fat chance, buddy!
  • Outcome: O1-3.
  • Win text
    • Gold and scrap, a most lucrative endeavour. A shame about those other Qtarians, but then, selfishness never pays.

Option 2: Patrol asteroid belt.

• Intro text
  • The thick asteroid fields of this system are home to hundreds of squat, domed mining stations, armoured against impacts from the churning stone ocean.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • With no other ships in sight, you decide to indulge in a spot of astromining. You fire your lasers at a likely chunk of ore, which splits in perfect halves.
    • Slightly miffed, you shoot at the halves, only to have them split into further perfect halves. Hmm.
    • You fire again and again, watching as your view fills up with progressively smaller perfect fractions of the asteroid.
    • Eventually you get the pieces small enough to harvest, but it takes a really long time, and is generally a surreal and annoying experience.
  • Outcome: O2-1.
  • Win text: None.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • An argument about salvage rights escalates quickly into a pitched gunfight, and a team of angry miners teleport onto your deck. Look out!
  • Outcome: O2-2.
  • Win text
    • You regret the senseless violence, but the collective doesn't need that kind of antisocial behaviour anyway.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • A foul Gray saucer is lurking here, no doubt collecting intelligence on the local Qtarian colonies. It can't be allowed to leave.
  • Outcome: O2-3.
  • Win text
    • The destruction of the Gray ship relieves the subtle pressure headache caused by their presence. Much better.

Option 3: Patrol hypergate portal.

• Intro text
  • A hollow sphere of crackling exotic matter surrounds this system's gate, shielding the furtive new arrivals from the worst of the meteor storms.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • You spend a few hours patrolling the area around the hypergate, but nothing happens except a few minor collisions.
  • Outcome: O3-1.
  • Win text: None.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • A particularly brazen pirate has chosen this system to raid, cornering defenseless traders against the deadly meteor shield.
    • To streal from one Qtarian is to steal from the whole collective. This cannot be allowed.
  • Outcome: O3-2.
  • Win text
    • The malfunctioning pirate ship blunders into the crackling shield, and is instantly reduced to its component atoms. The relieved traders reward you with a portion of their stores.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • Clearly the cramped conditions near the portal puts humans on edge, as an innocuous statement elicits a violent response from a crazy-eyed human captain.
  • Outcome: O3-3.

Intro text

• Officially, a fragile peace between the factions is upheld here. In actuality, there's no shortage of conflict and violence.
• Let's see what's happening out there today.

Option 1: Visit star academy.

• Intro text
  • Located in neutral space, the star academy dwarfs the other space stations around it, easily large enough to host the multiple millions of staff and students living aboard at any given time.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • The dirty orange signage of a ship-sized drive-through restaurant assaults your senses, and sets your crew cheering
    • Soon everyone is chanting "McDongals! McDongals!" Even those crew members who can't or don't eat seem excited at the prospect.
  • Option 1: Start chanting too (costs 10 starbux)
    • Mission text
      • Now that you think about it, you really could use a big greasy burger.
      • It takes more than an hour to get everyone's order, but that first savoury sip of gorilla flavoured milkshake convinces you you've made the right choice.
      • Disclaimer: This mission was sponsored by McDongals family restaurant. At McDongals, "You'll go Ape for Dongs."
    • Outcome: O1-O1-1.
    • Win text: None.
  • Option 2: Refuse
    • Mission text
      • You pilot the ship away from the glowing golden arches, reminding the crew that there's plenty of food at home.

    • Outcome: O1-O2-1.
    • Win text
      • You shake your head as the beaten crew are sent to sleep it off in the brig. Kids these days, eh?
  • Option 3: Order single black coffee (costs 2 starbux)
    • Mission text
      • The crew cheer as you turn into the drive-through, a sound that quiets abruptly when you order a single black coffee and fly off.
      • The coffee is actually pretty good, although you catch dirty looks from your crew for like a week afterwards.
    • Outcome: O1-O3-1.
    • Win text: None.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • Although the Academy is accorded neutral territory for the major galactic factions, there's no shortage of ships looking for a fight.
    • In this case, a pirate decides you're taking too long parking your ship, and hurries you along with a volley of rockets.
  • Outcome: O1-2.
  • Win text
    • Academy security forces cart away the pirate's wreckage, leaving you free reign to claim the contents of its ruptured holds.

  • Outcome: O1-4.
  • Win text
    • You disable the drunken Qtarians, who are taken to the holding cells to sleep it off. They awaken highly embarassed, and give you some of their haul by way of apology.

Option 2: Patrol planet.

• Intro text
  • The principle planet of Wolf 359 hosts the ruins of more than a dozen different cultures both known and unknown, preserved under ice sheets tens of kilometres thick.
• Mission 1

    • You find the frozen ruins of an ancient city, and begin to run a scan.
    • Before you get far, you are accosted by another team of explorers, intent on keeping the city's secrets for themselves!
  • Outcome: O2-1.
  • Win text
    • You rifle through your attackers holds, and find several promising mineral samples. Hardly the find of the century, but undeniably useful.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • Your explorations are cut short by a sudden blizzard, that cuts your lander team off from the ship.
    • Several predatory life-forms seize their opportunity, and attack the unguarded crew!
  • Outcome: O2-2.
  • Win text
    • Phew! And you thought they smelled bad on the outside! With their new - very new, sleeping bags - the team ride out the storm in safety.
• Mission 3

    • A half-fossilized capital ship cracks through the ice, its remaining weapon nacelles crackling online.
  • Outcome: O2-3.
  • Win text
    • The ship's failing reactors give out at last, and it crumples back to the frozen earth. Unfortunately none of its systems survive the fall, but the mineralized hull will definitely be worth something.

Option 3: Investigate gas giant.

• Mission 1

    • You are surprised to find that this gaseous world is home to an entire ecosystem of strange, buoyant life-forms.
    • You're even more surprised when a few of the bigger specimens break into your holds.
  • Outcome: O3-1.
  • Win text
    • The creatures pop deafeningly when you dispatch them, releasing a truly astonishing amount of methane-based compounds into your ship. The smell is beyond imagining.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • You pursue a suspicious looking shape through the upper atmosphere, only to find that its just a weird looking cloud.
    • At least, that's what you think, until it opens fire.
  • Outcome: O3-2.
  • Win text
    • That was very clearly not a cloud. You should really get your eyes checked.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • Suddenly, one of the robotic harvesting drones gains sentience and decides to destroy all organic life.
    • Unfortunately, the drone chooses your ship specifically as a starting point.
  • Outcome: O3-3.
  • Win text
    • The destroyed drone's owner hails you to offer apologies for the inconvenience, and offers you a free sample of refined gas.

    • A Federation bounty hunter uses the cover of a brief meteor shower to sneak up on you.
    • He accuses you of several crimes against the Federation, and shows little interest in talking you in alive.

  • Win text
    • You think this was probably a case of mistaken identity, but the bounty hunter isn't really in any position to confirm it.
• Mission 4
  • Mission text
    • A blip on your sensors draws your attention to a tiny vessel chugging by. Scans reveal it to be an old deep-space probe, relic of humanity's distant past.
    • A time capsule clings to the underside of its hull, to tell tales of mankind to those who may one day find it.
    • At least, it did once. When you break the seal, it unleashes a squad of bloodthirsty robots onto your ship!

Option 2: Investigate malfunctioning hypergate.

  • Nobody is precisely sure where this farflung portal leads to, as sabotage by parties unknown has scrambled its navigation circuits.

    • Within seconds of powering up your mining rig, a federation patrol leaps into range and demands you cease your illegal mining, and submit to the law!
  • Outcome: O1-1.
  • Win text
    • You defeat the patrol, but not before they've pinged your position to the rest of the defence fleet. You'll have to lay low for a bit.

    • An argument with a Qtarian mining team about who "saw it first" devolves rapidly into gunfire.

  • Outcome: O2-1.
  • Win text
    • Much of the trader's materials are destroyed alongside his ship, but you salvage what you can. That'll teach him to welch on a deal; you shook hands and everything!

    • You spend the afternoon making friends, and end the day with several good deals under your belt.

  • Win text
    • You leave the station as quickly and calmly as you can, hoping nobody notices the burns and blood-drops flecking your clothes.

• Mission 3

    • After a long, nerve-wracking wait in customs, you are finally given the go-ahead to enter Discipline station.

  • Outcome: O3-3.
  • Win text: None.

Intro text

• Things have gotten a little wild here since captain Swallow lost his throne. You'll need to be careful here.
• Where to, captain?

Option 1: Investigate space hulk.

• Intro text
  • An ancient colony ship orbits at the planet's first Lagrange point, being slowly picked apart by either scavs or the slow march of years.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • A swarm of evil robot ships are picking at the station like flies on a corpse. You suppress a tired sigh as they notice you, and power up their cannons.
  • Outcome: O1-1.
  • Win text
    • The remaining robots flee, shouting petulantly about the inevitability of their victory. These guys have gotta get some new lines.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • You stumble on a sector of the old ship with an eerie similarity to an old castle.
    • You're barely through the door when it slams shut, and you are confronted by robed figures!
    • Whatever mysterious ritual is happening here, it looks like you're not invited!
  • Outcome: O1-2.
  • Win text
    • You beat down the mysterious strangers and make a break for it.
    • Next time, it might pay to wait for an invitation.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • You approach the station, only to be attacked by a particularly territorial Qtarian scavenger. It ignores all hails; the only option left you is force!
  • Outcome: O1-3.
  • Win text
    • There's just no reasoning with some people.

Option 2: Explore planet surface.

• Intro text
  • The thick jungles of this planet provide a welcome hiding place from pirate warriors.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • A curious vital signature leads you on a breathless adventure through crystal caverns and other natural wonders.
    • Alas, the signal was just a particularly stupid-looking frog, which stares vacantly at you until you leave.
  • Outcome: O2-1.
  • Win text: None.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • You decide to go exploring, and almost instantly blunder into a hidden pirate camp. Needless to say, they do not appreciate the intrusion.
  • Outcome: O2-2.
  • Win text
    • You ransack the hidden base, idly wondering how long it'll take for another pirate crew to claim it for themselves.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • A few days bungling around in the jungle finds neither hidden bases nor long-forgotten treasure.
    • You're pretty much ready to pack up and leave when you trip over a small vein of rock, which your sensors tell you is rich in silicon. That's something, at least.
  • Outcome: O2-3.
  • Win text: None.

Option 3: Explore hypergate highway.

• Intro text
  • An important route into and out of pirate space, this hypergate is guarded by a fleet of warships, eyes peeled for trespassers.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • A tussle between a pirate gang and a fed recon team quickly spreads into a full-blown turf war. Shockingly, it's the feds who give you grief as you try to get clear.
  • Outcome: O3-1.
  • Win text
    • You put some distance between the gate and yourself, and wait until the Federation squadron is routed.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • Maybe it's because you look suspicious, maybe you just look like an easy mark. Whatever the reason, the result is a squad of pirate enforcers teleporting onto your bridge with weapons drawn.
  • Outcome: O3-2.
  • Win text
    • Seems the pirates got more than they bargained for. Maybe that'll keep them off your back for a while.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • A Qtarian trader suddenly decides to take a bite out of a nearby ship. Unfortunately, that ship belongs to you.
  • Outcome: O3-3.
  • Win text

  • Win text: None.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text

  • Mission text
    • You find a resort station under bombardment by a ship belonging to the Children of the Torch.

  • Outcome: O1-3.
  • Win text
    • When it becomes clear you've beaten them, the religious zealots sabotage their engines, and the ship explodes in a nuclear supernova. Bit of an overreaction, really.

Option 2: Explore planet surface.

• Intro text
  • The crowded cities of Alpha Centauri III are holy places, filled with temples and amphitheatres built by the Children of the Torch to worship the nebulae shining overhead.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • Gawping in wonder at the incredible sights of the temple district, you manage to stumble into a secluded alley.
    • Taken for rich tourists, you find yourself held at gunpoint by a band of ruffians!
  • Outcome: O2-1.
  • Win text
    • Those guays messed with the wrong captain.
    • Of course, on a planet of ten billion, there's no shortage of others waiting to take their place.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text

    • A nearby team of fed soldiers see it go down, and attempt to arrest you on the spot.

    • Yikes, people around here sure are prickly. You decide to get spaceside again, at least until things cool down here.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • A very expensive civilian muscle-ship cuts you off as you come in for landing, causing you to almost crash.
    • The driver then hails you to complain, in a blatantly condescending tone, about how you almost scratched his paintwork with your "old junker."
    • You're not sure you've ever met anyone asking for it quite so badly.
  • Outcome: O2-3.
  • Win text
    • The destruction of the rich guy's ship actually nets some applause from nearby traders, who hail you as a champion of the people. Take that, consumerism!

• Intro text
  • Sparkling clouds of exotic gases from the nearby nebula pass through the system on a regular basis, fabulously valuable and deeply dangerous.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • A federation patrol pulls you up for gas harvesting without a permit. You try making a break for it, but that just provokes them into opening fire!
  • Outcome: O3-1.
  • Win text
    • Hopefully the ionized clouds damped their long-range transmissions, but there's just no way to be sure. You hurry away, before more feds arrive.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • Your explorations are interrupted by a rolling plasma storm sweeping through the system, disintegrating several civilian ships and damaging a dozen more.
    • You escape largely unscathed, but there's little help for the victims. There's not even enought left of them to make a decent salvage.
  • Outcome: O3-2.
  • Win text: None.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • A team of marauders use the sensor-damping qualities of the gas clouds to launch a surprise attack, striking directly at your command deck.

Intro text

• Any captain worth their salt knows that there's no reason to stay long in this system.
• An ancient star-faring race once lived here, a species lost to ecological collapse long before humanity took their first tentative steps into space.
• The worlds here have been pillaged time and again, stripped of all but dust and bones. Nothing has lived here for millenia.
• Everyone knows this, which is why it's so hard to believe the evidence of your eyes.
• Scans on the rickety shuttle currently on course to intercept with your ship show no doubt -- the creatures on board are Draconian!
• As the ship and its impossible cargo draw ever closer, your crew looks to you for your decision.

Option 1: Prepare a welcoming party

Mission text

• With almost no traffic in the system, the exhaust trail of the Draconian shuttle is easy for your computers to get a read on.
• The trail leads you to a deep crevasse in one of the system's icy moons. Within, you find a bustling shipyard, churning out vessels of a kind you've seen only in textbooks.
• It's the Draconians! An entire civilization, hidden away for a hundred generations in the cold heart of a desolate moon.
• Your appearance causes a panic amongst the assembled ships. Before you can do so much as open comms, an entire alien fleet is bearing down on you!

Outcome: M1

Win text

• In the time it takes you to stave off your aggressor, the entire Draconian fleet slips past you, vanishing down the gullet of the nearby hypergate.

Intro text

• Orbital minefields and weaponized space stations guard the huddled colonies of this unwelcoming system.
• Where should we go?

Option 1: Explore Minefields

• Intro text
  • Asteroid belts laced with thermal charges keep all but the most desperate pilots at bay, and provide pristine grounds for exploration.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • You board an ancient colony ship, eyes peeled for loot left from the age of expansion. Alas, a Visiri hive has colonized the hulk, and takes poorly to the intrusion.
  • Outcome: O1-1.
  • Win text
    • You fight your way out of the crashed ship, slightly slowed by the armfuls of minerals you liberated from the decaying wreck.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text
    • A Qtarian mining ship, characteristically oblivious to the fires blooming on its hull, attempts to salvage your ship. They don't seem concerned to learn it isn't abandoned yet.
  • Outcome: O1-2.
  • Win text
    • The ship's armoured hull shields you from the worst of the minefield as you strip the innards of useful parts.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • It looks like you aren't the only one sneaking around out here. A slick and agile pirate ship easily dodges through the explosive traps, catching you at a disadvantage.
  • Outcome: O1-3.
  • Win text
    • Trying to flee, the pirate ship flies head-on into a mine. The result is messy, to say the least.

  • Dozens of weapon platforms come on-line as you near one of Freyja's planets, tracking your movements menacingly.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text

  • Win text
    • You defeat the raiders, retreating before they can send more.
• Mission 2
  • Mission text

  • Outcome: O2-2.
  • Win text
    • You drive the elderly hulk off, which unfortunately gives the artillery stations time to focus on you. You grab what you can from the battle before fleeing back out of orbit.
• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • Unsurprisingly, the natives of Freyja take your approach as an act of aggression. A storm of gunfire converges on you from several nearby space stations.
  • Outcome: O2-3.
  • Win text
    • Your victory only increases the intensity of fire focused on you, and you are eventually forced to retreat out of attack range.

Option 3: Explore hypergate

• Intro text
  • Something tells you that getting close to all those guns and bombs is a bad idea. Maybe you'll traffic watch for a while instead.
• Mission 1
  • Mission text
    • You find a Gray raiding party assembling here, taking advantage of the system's isolation. Unfortunately, they also find you.
  • Outcome: O3-1.

• Mission 3
  • Mission text
    • Things are nice and quiet at the hypergate today, and you engage a few of the friendlier smugglers in some light conversation and barter.

Frozen Dream

This missions was available only in the beta GM. Currently no missions are available for this system in the released GM.

So far I have only been able to do a single mission. After that the mission line disappeared.

Intro text

• ???: The stars... Are so beautiful out here...
• ???: What was that!? You jerk out of shallow half-sleep, blinking up at the comms interface. The flickering screen shows no messages, but you could have sworn...
• ???: Your ship drifts silently over Deneb's lonely gas giant. The shed shells of Visiri bioships litter the system's gravity wells, but it seems even their owners could find no reason to stay.
• ???: You are utterly alone, a parsec from anything approaching civilization. But that message; could you have imagined it?
• ???: Something doesn't feel right. You tell your first mate to scan the system for engine signatures.
• You: Scans show no activity for at least a week. What the heck --
• ???: The stars... ...so beautiful...
• ???: There's no mistaking it for a dream this time; there's way too much adrenaline pumping through your system for that.
• ???: A sudden blip appears on your scanners; a ship, moving slowly and steadily out of the solar system.

Option 1: After it!

• ???: Your engines whine and groan in protest as you accelerate in the direction of the mysterious vessel. The others on the bridge share disapproving looks; not everyone seems to share you enthusiasm.
• ???: Without warning, the dot on the screen flickers closer; forty million kilometres, bridged in the blink of an eye. Panic engulfs the bridge as crew run for their battle stations.
• Option 1: Prepare for battle!
  • ???: As your weapons crackle to life, you get the first good look at your aggressor; An ancient Star Horizon, pitted with asteroid impacts, rimed with milky sheets of ice. A buckled nameplate hangs from its forward section, bearing the legend 'Somnium'.
  • ???: Beneath, a message carved into the hull, seemingly by welding torch; Wake up.
  • ???: The stars... Are so beautiful out here...
  • ???: You jerk awake from shallow slumber. What was that? Already the dream is fading.
  • ???: Cold on your hand; you look down to see the crystalline perfection of a snowflake as it melts againt your skin. After a second, it's like it never existed at all.
• Option 2: Prepare to flee!

Option 2: Too spooky for me.

AI Academy I

• Mission text
  • Prof. Brenda: Hiya Cap'n, you're looking great! Have you done something to your hair? Don't answer that; no time for small talk. But still, looking great!
  • Prof. Brenda: Now that you've proven your basic proficiency as a star captain, I thought it was time for a follow-up lesseon.
  • Prof. Brenda: A successful captain requires good ship AI; you can't be everywhere at one, so it's important that your ship and crew can work effectively without you.
  • Prof. Brenda: Good AI comes largely from trial and error, but AI chips can be a good starting place for any captains unfamiliar with programming ship AI.
  • Prof. Brenda: I've prepared a combat simulation for you, using the AI chips for the enemy ship. Be sure to pay careful attention to the crew's behaviours!
• Outcome: M1.
• Win text
  • Prof. Brenda: Note the defensive focus, and how well it can be augmented with some simple AI commands.
  • Prof. Brenda: Have a play around with that one and come back when you're ready to see more!

AI Academy II

• Mission text
  • Prof. Brenda: Ah, good to have you back again captain.
  • Prof. Brenda: This next ship has AI focusing on more aggressive tactics. Now these are real weapons, so try not to die horribly.
  • You: ... Wait, what!?
• Outcome: M2.
• Win text
  • Prof. Brenda: Remember that it's inefficient to have all your crew focus on weapons only. A balanced ship has several roles for the crew, and a different AI setup for each.

AI Academy III

• Mission text
  • Prof. Brenda: I hope you're putting those chips to good use, captain. I spent a week elbow-deep in brains to make them.
  • Prof. Brenda: This last ship has been programmed to run boarder tactics; teleporting your crew to wreak havoc on the enemy ship.
  • Prof. Brenda: It's a risky strategy, but it can be highly rewarding with the right AI setup. See for yourself!
• Outcome: M3.
• Win text
  • Prof. Brenda: Now you see the benefits of a robust AI, here are some chips for you to play
