I like that the Offered Missions screen has you ask about a contact's goals to uncover potential missions. I can see how this will provide richness.
How does asking about a specific type of goal--Personal, Political or Friend/Enemy--affect game play? Does it affect the types of missions you are offered?

Not in the current release. In the next release, the missions will start to align around real goals of the contact -- their traits, their contact links, conflicts affecting their faction, the attributes of their zone, and their contact type.
Today, missions are all generated based on contact type only.
You'll have the option with each contact to ask about any of their 3 goals, which will give you a level of flexibility and control over how you get involved, but still within the larger scope of the contact's goals, methods, and context.
So, if a Solar War was on between Cadar and Thulun, you might talk with your Military Officer about destroying enemy ships, while you might discuss spying missions with your Intelligence Officer, or sneaking a saboteur onto a Thulun planet involved with high Starport where many of the warships were undergoing repair and maintenance. Same conflict, different angles.
You can see the same idea play out about Traits (Traitorous, Uses Assassins, Spice Addict) and Contacts (hates this person and will work, in their way, to ruin them).

"You see! You see!" screamed number 3.
"See what?" asked number 2.
"Grenades! One of the most requested items for CK. There's going to be grenades in ST2. It's proof! One day the TB's are going to make Star Trading Cyber Knight Heros of Steel Song!"
"What have you been drinking?" asked number 1.

We really should get like a Talent dump onto the Wiki... We're working toward a full dump of every Job and every corresponding Talent. Just taking a while to figure out how to do it an automated fashion. I don't want to sign up to cut-n-paste 22 times for every update  |
