What are operations?

[Noobc0re]

I was trying to figure out why we didn't get the 2nd medals despite doing everything on the map?

I found out that you have to complete the operation, or something like that. What does that mean? How do you do that?

As much as I like satire.
This one isn't very polished so I shall respond as if it was real.

1 Objectives are how you finish the mission on a map.
2 The mission is completed whenever the objectives are finished.
3 The task at hand is written into the objectives.

1 And the objectives are for whatever mission is on the map.(it varies)
2 The task at hand is written into the objectives(it varies)
3 The objectives are how you finish the mission!(it varies)

Repeat forever.
I hope this has cleared up any confusion
:D

That is aligned with what I figured. So what determines if you get the 2nd set of medals?

A mission is a single instance of the game. You enter the map at a location of your choosing, deal with any objectives, and (optionally) get out.

An operation contains 1~3 missions, depending on difficulty. 1-2 have a single mission, 3-4 have two missions, and any more have three. The amount of missions is equal to the amount of times you can earn medals from a mission within this operation, and the amount of medals per mission depends on difficulty.

If you fail any mission, the operation is failed and you can't access it.

To obtain medal rewards, complete any mission in the operation. This earns you the first reward.

To obtain the second reward, clear another mission in the same operation. To obtain the third, do so again.

Completing an operation also awards progress in the Galactic War - this is not on a per-mission basis.

Edit: improved clarity, added emphasis to certain terms.
