Just wondering if a few of you high level players or any admins may have a tip for me.

Is it wiser to kinda pick a mission and stick with it till it's done?

Also I have been noticing how different I think I would have done things in the beginning had I known.

When you completely finish a mission and close it out, there are 2 benefits:

* Some missions unlock a follow-up mission when they are completed
* Finishing missions allows you to unlock special tier awards. These are usually specialty items for your ship that you cannot get anywhere else.

However, some missions you may NEED to complete for certain reasons, such as if you need credits.

Also, certain races get missions that other races do not, and some missions are tailored specifically for those races.

Is there any list of what follow up mission are unlocked, so that players can decide which missions are best to work on?

If I/we/everyone can get the missions part of the wiki done thuroghly, you will be able to tell.
