On arrival at a base, station or planet, most pilots will want to perform a number of various functions. These functions include browsing for new missions, replacing and upgrading weapons and ships, and lastly, trading any cargo they happen to be carrying in their holds.

Mission Computer

We focus here on the Mission Computer. To investigate any available missions, get an update on the news, or review information on your pilot and current ship, you must have access to a Mission Computer. Locate the Mission Computer by moving your mouse cursor around the Concourse until it highlights the Mission Computer hotspot (you may not find one, as not all bases have the access required). Once this displays click to activate the computer.

On activation, the default screen is the Missions Screen.


Missions Screen

The Missions Screen will have the following across the upper viewing area. In the top left will be three buttons marked [Missions], [News] and [Info]. If they don't appear, that means the base where you are located does not have access to that function at that time. These buttons provide access to the Missions Screen, News Screen and Pilot Information Screen respectively.

Below these buttons is the GNN News banner. Beside the banner is the name of your current base location, with the owner's name in brackets beside it.

In the top right corner of the Missions Screen is the In Game Menu.
