Replacing is NOT the way to get diversity ...
Why Frontier, did you not AD the new missions to the list ..
No Kill more "20 pirates" missions
No Haul this for cash ..

Now al we get is mostly:
LOW Credit
LOW Fame
LOW ranking missions ..
Who like to do these ? if you get almost nothing from it ..

And whats with the amount of them .. it normally was a nice list of them..
Now i see hardly any missions list longer then 4..
Just AD the newer missions into the list of old missions and we have MORE instead of LESS ..

Its such a pitty ..

missions are not spawned everywere and is based on many elements from the BGS , so if there are no pirate killing missions go to another system , try one with a security issue of some sort

Ive been back a few days, quit a few weeks into powerplay as i had been playing solid since release and i must say i really dislike the missions now. I wish you would get offered missions based on your various ranks for one instead of having a full list with perhaps 3-5 you are able to do. Ive had two pirate kill missions (an old favourite of mine) in the whole time ive played. Ive travelled to many systems and wherever i go the choice of missions i can do are pretty much ones i have no interest in like mining, smuggling and the missions like kidnap etc which dont work or at least not for me. The rewards for these are terrible.

No idea how i am ever going to gain Empire rank at this rate.... Ive given up on it and gone from combat to just being a space trucker.

Disappointed :(

I've seen all the old mission types - they don't spawn all the time because the mission pool is now larger and the bounty boards don't refresh as fast to discourage stacking.

I have always felt that there should be code in place that one of every "profession" spawn at a station (mining, smuggling, legal trade/transport, combat of wanted persons, combat of clean persons).

Specific Mission types just have become extremely rare, given the 15-Mission display limit (seems so to me) of the Bulletin Board which it now shares with Planetary Missions.
But I do believe the Pirate- and Smuggling-Missions have been reduced in numbers in order to discourage stacking them easily.

Anyway, alot of the Pirate Missions I see (when I see any) often pay very well - but also require alot of kills.

Many of the LongRange courier Missions and almost all of the Planetary Missions indeed aren't sexy... Too often poor pay, bundled with low Influence effect, all for long working hours (or waiting time until a time window arrives, I couldn't really imagine picking up a timed Mission - then wait almost 40 Minutes for the ETA to arrive).

The only mission type I miss is the one where you got to liberate regular/imperial slaves...

It would be nice to have something along those lines. Maybe have seperate bulletin boards for each profession. Have say smuggling one under the black market tab. I dont know, im very tired at the moment. Off topic id like to see a bounty office where you can cash all your bounties from civilised space in one place but have say an admin fee of 15-25+%.

As i am trying to gain faction rank and lacking combat missions and space trucking doesnt do anything for it, does fighting for your faction in CZs help in anyway? Would be nice to find something combat related i can get stuck into!
