How Starfield Missions Work
Your missions in Starfield are tracked in your log, which can be accessed in the pause menu and hitting the down button.
The log splits all missions into various categories: main mission, faction missions, miscellaneous, and activities – small goals you can complete amongst all missions.


You can freely collapse each mission for a list of all objectives that must be completed to finish a mission, as you can see in the screenshots above.
The time each mission takes to complete varies, as some will require you to complete more objectives than others or encourage more exploration and travel.
To make travel easier, Starfield allows you to instantly plot a course to your next objective from your ship if its in another location, speeding your traversal.
