Mission Ideas

These are an assortment of ideas for missions in Naev. There are a good way to get started in contributing to Naev as they are somewhat simple one-off missions.

Neutral mission ideas
These are general missions that can be found in most systems and are not generally tied to a specific faction.

You are to smuggle the AI to Dvaered space, where nobody will look for it.

Insane businessman
A successful, aging businessman commissions you to investigate a number of increasingly-improbable conspiracies, growing progressively more agitated as you fail to find evidence that supports his conspiracy theories. Eventually, deciding that you're working for the Man and involved in a plot to kill him, he sends mercenaries after you and goes into hiding.

Bioweapon
A Za'lek scientist hires you to disable and board progressively larger Soromid ships, to collect tissue samples. Some time after you deliver the final sample, the scientist contacts you again to tell you he has used the samples to develop an airborn virus that infects Soromid ships. The scientist hires you one last time to deploy the bioweapon at a Soromid shipyard, after which you must escape from the pursuing Soromid forces.
