Hey, I always though that distribution missions only needs cargo to do them... i was too wrong, yesterday I was doing level 1 mission and I had to use gun's to destroy an explosive container as part of a mission...
I wonder what else is needed to make sure I'm always prepared - what equipment.


Thanks

Depending on the size of the load, you can sometimes get away with just doing those types of missions in a frigate or destroyer. As long as the cargo isn't to big, that way you can fit plenty of guns if needed.

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.

The Rambunctious Researcher does require you to blow stuff up. There is another one where you help the agent set up their own POS, and you have to go blow stuff up (such as a competitor's mammoth and the suicide squad trying to blow up the agent's POS). That one might be in the Security line though, I'm not too sure since it's been a long time.

I can not remember any Distribution missions that require a salvager, except where the agent provides you with one.

1. you can easily do lvl1 missions in frigate (lets say 400m3 of cargo space). Just fit it with some random guns (NOT civilian) and you will do fine in all missions - there are no real fights, just object destruction.
2. once you go up to lvl 2 - 3 distribution missions there wont be any complicated stuff anymore just plain deliver package

I ran almost all distribution missions to get to a L2 agent while I was waiting for exploration skills to train, and I found that the L1 agents in Soumi often gave missions that required combat, minining, etc. In fact, most of the missions entailed something other than trade. Now that I've moved on to L2 distribution agents all I get are courier and trade missions, however.

For details on the changes to agent divisions see:

Several divisions were amalgamated into distribution.
