For RSI Discovery Month, start with Ling Small Haul for Transport, Take Out a Gang Leader for Defense, and Iron/Beryl procurement for Collection if your equipment supports them. We use the point totals below to plan completion, then check party credit before repeating deliveries.

Scope: Alpha 4.10.2. Mission figures below come from accessible community references, not our own timed gameplay tests.

Choose Missions by Equipment and Completion Reliability

A large reward does not establish a fast route. Travel, cargo handling, failed objectives, and refining all count toward your completion time.

The following options have published point values; repetition counts assume a 10,000-point discipline target, no existing progress, and full credit.

MissionPoints per completionCompletions to targetBest fit
Package Recovery (Exp. E)31332 Ship with package storage; manageable recovery route
Courier Run (Exp. E)41724 Three-package delivery route
Ling Small Haul35429 Hauler accommodating the documented 8-SCU load
Take Out a Gang Leader31332 FPS-equipped player with transport
Beryl procurement66915 Mining, refining, and cargo delivery access
Iron procurement40825 Mining alongside Beryl
UCM Order (S)18355 Suitable salvager; alternative to mining

Use these counts as workload estimates—not completion-time rankings.

Transport: Check the Load Before Collection

For Ling Small Haul, community guidance lists 8 SCU across three boxes. Confirm that your ship accommodates the actual box layout before accepting cargo; nominal capacity alone does not prove a usable fit.

For package recovery, combine jobs only when their pickups and deliveries follow a compact route. Do not cross Stanton solely to increase your active contract count.

Defense: Use the Objective Your Equipment Supports

Take Out a Gang Leader provides a ground-combat option without requiring a combat-ready ship. Bring the equipment needed to survive the location and complete the target objective.

If you choose ship protection instead, prioritize attackers threatening the friendly vessel. Destroying enemies after the protected ship dies does not demonstrate successful mission completion.

Verify Party Credit Before Committing a Session

Community guidance reports full shared credit for Transport and Defense. It identifies Quantanium procurement, UCM Order (M), and UCM Order (L) as Collection exceptions that divide points, while listing Iron, Beryl, and UCM Order (S) as full-credit options.

We still check the result after the first completion because an acceptance or connection problem can invalidate the planned benefit.

1. Record each player's discipline and overall counters.

2. Share the contract and confirm each recipient accepts it.

3. Complete the objective while recipients remain connected.

4. Compare both counters before repeating the route.

If the reward differs from the published value, stop and identify whether the issue is sharing, objective completion, or changed contract behavior.

Batch Collection Without Confusing Raw Ore and Deliveries

Iron and Beryl procurement require mined and refined materials, according to the published community guide. We plan from the refinery's output estimate rather than assuming raw ore converts directly into deliverable cargo.

These quantities support a mixed Collection plan.

ContractRefined material requiredPointsPlanned deliveries
Beryl8 SCU6699, requiring 72 SCU
Iron6 SCU40810, requiring 60 SCU
Combined plan132 SCU total10,10119 deliveries

This plan clears the reported target without assuming a specific number of mining trips or a fixed refinery yield.

Community guidance recommends Wala for gathering Iron and Beryl together. Collect suitable deposits, start refining, and run other disciplines while processing finishes.

Inspect the hand-in instructions before delivering a bulk load. Excess-material handling was not independently confirmed here, so we do not recommend submitting extra cargo as a shortcut.

Track Rewards and Claim the Centaurus Rental

RSI Discovery Month has Transport, Defense, Collection, and a combined event track. Check your mobiGlas progress rather than assuming progress in one discipline completes the other two.

The supplied reward accounts describe the following categories, but disagree on some exact names.

TrackReported reward categoriesCheck before prioritizing
Transport Zeus paint and flight blades; coolers; tractor beam Ship compatibility and cooler size
Defense Scorpius paint; Meteor flight blades; power plants; weapon Component fit and the displayed reward identity
Collection Salvation paint; Mantis flight blades; radars; tool Radar size and supported ship
Overall Paints, flight blades, components, exploration suits Remaining overall progress and account reward record

Use the live reward panel for exact names and quantities; this table is a category reference, not a verified item inventory.

Complete the Rental Delivery

The Constellation Rental Offer requires transporting a gold box between RSI event platforms. Completion grants five days of Constellation Mk V Centaurus access, as documented by both accessible references.

Complete it when you have time to use the rental, then inspect its displayed availability and expiry. We do not assume the timer waits for your first flight.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What Is the Best Starting Route for RSI Discovery Month?

We recommend Ling Small Haul for starter hauling and Take Out a Gang Leader for FPS-focused players. For Collection, use Iron/Beryl if you have mining and refining access, or consider UCM Order (S) with suitable salvage equipment.

Does Everyone Receive Full Credit From Shared Missions?

Community guidance reports full credit for Transport and Defense, with three Collection exceptions: Quantanium, UCM Order (M), and UCM Order (L). Compare each player's discipline and overall counters after one completion before committing further materials.

How Many Beryl Deliveries Complete Collection?

At the published 669 points per delivery, 15 deliveries yield 10,035 points. With 8 SCU required per contract, that means 120 SCU of refined Beryl, assuming full credit and no existing progress.

Can We Complete Collection Without Mining?

Yes: community guidance lists UCM Order (S) at 183 points, requiring 55 full-credit completions to exceed 10,000. You need suitable salvage equipment; a cargo ship alone does not perform the salvage work.

How Do We Get the Five-Day Centaurus Rental?

Complete the Constellation Rental Offer by delivering its gold box between the designated RSI platforms. Check the rental's expiry immediately after completion and schedule your testing around the displayed window.
