LSF pilots can gain missions via patrons in the bar or posted
offers on the Job Boards there. You are free to decline any

once accepted, a mission should be completed—your reputation
will be adversely affected otherwise. (See “Player Status” in
Section 5 for more information.)
Once you have accepted and launched into space, a mission
