Editing Missions (section)

=== Escort ===
Far and away the most difficult mission type, these should be accepted very cautiously.  These missions involve traveling to the destination while you control your vehicles, and '''the NPCs control their vehicles'''.  In other words, you will have no control over the NPC vehicles' speed, direction, tactics, etc. should you have an encounter while traveling.  This makes getting all the NPC vehicles to the destination a very tricky affair.

Usually, the mission payoff is based on the number of vehicles that arrive safely, so you may get paid even if you lose an NPC vehicle (or two), but the reduced payoff could mean you take a loss for the mission.

In order to launch an escort mission you must use the older, less easy way of launching a travel.  It is fully explained on the [[Travel#Old, Less Easy Method|Travel]] page.
