Missions
Factions and Missions
The strength of a faction is determined by two parameters: Power and Technology. Power affects the number of enemies and the loot on a mission. Technology determines the equipment available to factions, which they can use or sell. These parameters grow over time depending on the stations in the faction's possession, but they are also affected by completed missions. Sabotage reduces the station owner's Power and Technology. Espionage reduces the station owner's Technology. Elimination reduces the victim's Power, but if the target was a scientist then Technology. Capture will change the owner of the station, and Defense, on the contrary, will prevent this change. If a faction has not fully paid out the reward for a mission it will accumulate a debt that can be used in the next barter. Factions and their characteristics can be viewed in the first tab of the Stock Exchange.
