some are patrol, ie, you fly around several points.some are transport, ie, you buy some goods and take them somewhere. Later on you get lots of sorts of missions as well.
One idea that's been floated around the nielsbauer forums is the idea of other trading style missions where someone asks you to fetch a specific object for them, ----- but these haven't been implemented yet.

Are all missions combat missions?

I like the game, but the combat is extremely tedious, and I have a horibly short attention span. -----Original Message-----From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org ] OnBehalf Of dark Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2008 10:14 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] smugglers trading screen Hi Liam.Trading at the moment is the most lengthy process in the game unfortunately,it's possible, but to trade accurately takes time.When you click on trade, you get the trade screen showing the goods andprices on whichever planet your currently on.X1 x10 etc refer to the units of the good to be bought or sold, and the buy,sell, buy all or sell all will do the selected actions. The only problem is, that screen only shows the goods for the selectedplanet. In order to see the prices for the goods on the various planets, you need to close the screen, click once on another planet in the travel screen (to highlight that planet, but not a double click otherwise you'll travelthere), then open the trade screen again. this unfortunately makes planning trades a very slow process.Visually, once you click on a commodity, the prices for that commodity are displayed next to the names of all the planets on the travel screen, but sinse a screen reader is focused on the trade screen you can't see them.I've suggested to Niels that he create a minimize button for the tradescreen so as to close the screen, but keep the selected goods prices on eachplanet, but this idea's stil in the works.I must admit though, I've always personally been much more interested in the bounty hunting and mercinary practices of the game, ---- so haven't reallylooked that deeply into trading.
