Starfield is a game that has a lot of different missions to undertake during your adventure. For many players, Bethesda’s games made what they are not by the story missions but rather by the sidequests that further flesh out the universe and its people.
Fortunately, there is a simple way to take on new missions in Starfield, and that is using the Mission Board system.
These are found all over the starfields, but if you’re in a pinch and looking to take on a new task, here is everything that you’ll want to know.
What does the Mission Board do in Starfield?
Using the Mission Board in Starfield lets you sign on to help Constellation with its exploration efforts. This might see you delivering packages, taking down a fleet of space pirates, or simply surveying planets in the starfields.
Taking these missions is not compulsory as they are sidequests. I know when I first started Starfield they weren’t on my radar. That said, if you’re after easy credits, it’s worth checking out these boards as you progress by doing simple tasks, some of which can be done on your way to completing story or faction missions.
All Mission Boards in Starfield
In Starfield, there are 12 different Mission Boards to be found among the major settlements. This is great news as it means you won’t need to trek around the galaxy every time you want to visit one. Instead, there should be one within close range. Here is a look at all of your options so you can find the one best for you right now.
Constellation Mission Board
The Lodge is your go-to place for a lot of different things in Starfield, and using the Mission Board is one of them.
How to find the Constellation Mission Board
- Head to The Lodge.
- Enter The Lodge’s basement.
- The Mission Board is located next to the various workbenches.
United Colonies Mission Board
The UC Vigilance has its own Mission Board for those working through the Crimson Fleet questline. Depending on the choices you make, it may or may not be available to use. Mind you, those who decide to help the Crimson Fleet won’t have access to the board.
How to find the United Colonies Mission Board
- Board the UC Vigilance.
- Head to the ship’s control room.
- You’ll find the Mission Board just as you enter the room.
Crimson Fleet Mission Board
Like the United Colonies Mission Board, your choices will impact whether or not you can use this tool. If you sided with the United Colonies, then sorry, you can’t take advantage of it, but those who opted for the Crimson Fleet can find the Mission Board in the Reckoner’s Core at The Key.
How to find the Crimson Fleet Mission Board
- Head to The Key.
- Dock with the Reckoner’s Core.
- The Mission Board is near the chair, surrounded by lights and terminals.
Freestar Rangers Mission Board
Akila City is where you’ll find the Freestar Rangers Mission Board. Unfortunately, you’ll need to become a Freestar Ranger to use this, so if you’ve not done that, then it will not be available.
How to find the Freestar Rangers Mission Board
- Head to the town bar called The Rock.
- Head inside and go up the stairs.
- You’ll find this Mission Board as part of the Freestar Rangers questline.
New Atlantis Mission Board
New Atlantis has its own Mission Board outside of the Lodge, giving players multiple options to pick from depending on where they’re at.
How to find the New Atlantis Mission Board
- Head to the New Atlantis Spaceport.
- Find and enter the Viewport Bar.
- The Mission Board, like many others, is right next to a bounty clearance kiosk.
Neon Mission Board
Neon is the coolest location in Starfield, and you guessed it, there is a Mission Board to use without having to go somewhere lamer.
How to find the Neon Mission Board
- Enter the primary portion of Neon
- Sprint straight down the city stretch
- Enter the Astral Lounge
- The Mission Board is, again, next to a bounty clearance kiosk
Akila City Mission Board
Fortunately, for those who aren’t Freestar Rangers, Akila City has its own Mission Board that anyone can use.
How to find the Akila City Mission Board
- Head straight through the city gates
- Find and enter the Hitching Post bar
- The Mission Board is near a small flight of stairs
Cydonia Mission Board
If you’re on Cydonia, then you’ve probably passed the Mission Board already. This can be located inside the Broken Spear and shouldn’t require too much searching.
How to find the Cydonia Mission Board
- Walk through the airlock to enter Cydonia.
- Enter the building on the right as you approach the city center.
- Walk into the Broken Spear, and you’ll find the Mission Board.
Hopetown Mission Board
If you’re looking to use the Mission Board in Hopetown, then you’re in luck. All it takes is a tire change (figuratively speaking, of course).
How to find the Hopetown Mission Board
- Land at Hopetown
- Exit your ship
- Walk into the Pit Stop bar right next to the spaceport.
Trident Luxury Lines Mission Board
The Mission Board on the Trident Luxury Lines is also right next to your starting point. Once you land, just look to your right, and you’ll find it ready to use.
Deimos Shipyard Mission Board
The Deimos Shipyard, which you’ll find in orbit around Mars in the good old Sol system, not only has a fine selection of Deimos spaceships and spaceship parts but also a Mission Board for you to peruse after sprucing up your ship.
How to find the Deimos Shipyard Mission Board
- Dock with the Deimos Shipyard.
- Walk inside and head down the stairs.
Stroud-Eklund Shipyard Mission Board
Finally, another super-simple Mission Board to find. In the Narion system orbiting Dalvik, you’ll find the Stroud-Eklund Staryard.
How to find the Stroud-Eklund Shipyard Mission Board
- Dock with the Stroud-Eklund Shipyard
- Turn to your left immediately after entering
Outpost Mission Board
If you want to take on new missions from the comfort of your own home, then you should build a Mission Board in your Outpost. Yes, this can be done, and it’s not too complicated.
How to make a Mission Board in your Outpost
When using Starfield’s Build Mode, all you’ll need to do is choose the Mission Board from the Miscellaneous tab and place it down in your home. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Aluminum — 4
- Beryllium — 2
- Zero Wire — 2
Now, you’ve got no need to visit any of these other locations again.
