Missions are assigned randomly, there are a total of 360 different mission combinations. There are 4 different models of Corvette Scipio so you will have to learn to navigate each one of them. There are 3 entrances/exits in each Corvette that you can use both to enter and exit once your mission has been completed. In the decompression chamber, shooting is disabled for safety reasons. The corvettes have restricted access areas, there are access cards distributed throughout the ship that will allow you to enter.-In some missions you will have a set time to complete them, don't fall asleep. We have ensured that everything necessary to complete the mission is somewhere on the ship. In the backpack, you can collect what you find throughout the corvette in each mission. After each completed mission, you will be assigned another mission on a different corvette of that or another model.
