Not sure what happened while I was away but I logged in on a rescue ship in the heart of the empire. Not entirely sure I was here when I logged out 
Anyway, after eventually working out why there were zero missions available, I moved over to the nearby Mackenzie Relay, which gives a strong impression of being host to all the Galactic Sportball Championship games.
May be my imagination, but I feel like the flavour text for passenger missions has increased in variety. Don't remember transporting aid workers or prisoners of war before, and I'm not sure why this system has a bunch of refugees who want to leave, while it also has a rescue ship? Either way, I moved them to a nearby system for a small reward.
Meanwhile I see EDDB has gone and I'm finding myself coming up empty on being able to rank player factions by size to continue the old quest of becoming the most popular pilot in the galaxy... neither Inara nor EDSM seems to have this feature, which rather puts a crimp on that plan
