Hello all,
In perusing the various guides and threads in this new forum, I've come across a couple of terms that don't seem to have explanations for them.
The first one are "fetch missions". I can only think of two kinds of missions I've seen that the term might apply to: missions where you are asked to "source and return" a commodity in X quantity, or missions where you are asked to "liberate" something or someone from somebody else (which sounds a lot like piracy). So which of these two mission types are "fetch" missions?
The second term, which is referenced but rarely, is "ethos". In the few places I've seen it applied are as a kind of modifier on a faction's form of government (e.g. authoritarian-ethos corporation). Now I've been out in the void for the past four months, and it's been a long time since I looked at a starport services screen, but I do not recall any such modifiers on faction descriptions, and I can't find them on third party sites like INARA. So, my question: is "ethos" a thing that actually exists in the game, or is it something people apply to it - part of their headcanon, as it were. If it's part of the game, how do you find a factions' ethos? While governments cannot be changed, can a faction's ethos be changed?
Thanks in advance!
