On Foot missions can be shared with all players who are in a [[Teams|Team]] by selecting the "Share" button on any mission transaction panel. Team members can individually accept or decline a shared mission invitation. Sharing a mission limits the rewards for participants to credits, reputation, or items, while the mission host retains the option to select an influence reward. If a mission involves obtaining a specific item, that mission item will be automatically moved the mission host's inventory when boarding a ship or departing the mission area. If a team member is critically injured and is holding a mission item, they will drop that item, allowing other team members to collect it and continue the mission.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-update-5.584271/ Frontier Forums: Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5]</ref> | On Foot missions can be shared with all players who are in a [[Teams|Team]] by selecting the "Share" button on any mission transaction panel.
