Punishment missions are missions that periodically punish the pilot for an action they've undertaken.
Examples[]
- The mission McGraw Family Revenge punishes the pilot by giving a 40% chance to be ambushed by several Pirate vessels whenever they land on a Federation planet. This is punishment for slaying Dan McGraw for some engine upgrades.
- Drop Bear attack missions punish the pilot for landing on Auroran space objects with a loss of money and time.
- The pilot is punished for boarding Eamon Flannigan's M.SB.E by being granted the rank 'Sworn Enemy of the Wild Geese'.
- The pilot is granted a Krypt Mind Attack for entering Krypt Space during Find Vellos. This outfit slowly drains shields, armour and fuel as well as lowering shield capacity.
Cut Content[]
Data remnants also indicate that similar missions were to be present when the pilot dominated or destroyed space objects of certain governments. These missions do not occur in the released game, especially as the vanilla game has no weapons that destroy planets.
