Nope, this just happens, welcome to the RNG of the mission generator
Last night I got one long range mission, woke up this morning mission board was full of them, I had to leave some behind.
Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you have to wait and refresh the boards.
Deep Space Clan and the Federation aligned faction were at war with one another a few days ago. The communist faction and Sirius corporation were in boom status at that time. There were a few missions available for long haul and I was getting intermittent missions for smuggling between Ceos/Sothis. If they've gone to total war or states other than boom, the pickings will likely be very slim until things go back to normal.
I've read on other threads that it is 10 minutes. This seems to work for me, I'll set a timer then look through galmap, read news articles, surf these forums, youtube, whatever... when I come back I've got a new set of missions available. I won't say that I get back exactly at the 10 minute mark. Sometimes 15, sometimes an hour and a half lol.
Hilarious post. Thx for the laff.
Yeah I know right!!
I was pretty disappointed with it too.
My previous best was 90m... was hoping for a lot more as I took extra smuggler missions and paid special attention to not get scanned etc.
Need to get that Grade 5 FSD mod to reduce the jumps even further... currently its still in the low 30s for # of jumps / 18Ly fully laden .. not fun.
/sigh will just try again. Maybe once the UA bombing wears off...
FSD Tips appreciated - this is my grade 4 FSD mod / current stats.
I have been recording my runs in notepad .. not sure if this is of use to analyse \ improve my run ?

ua bombing.... soon no missions at all 
The dude who did it on Xbox took screenshots of him bringing 14 UAs to Ceos, it is already done. Just had to wait for the BGS to re-tick.

My post was before a self-proclaimed messiah and his sycophants decided they would impose the will of their radical lunatic fringe group on the game. They are doing because the purity of the game has been lost due to the availability of high value hauls (which if you have done any take an investment in time and exposure to interdictions, not fun and you must be careful). They believe that everyone should obtain capital by following their methods, like pirating (which is stealing by force from others, armed robbery).
Welcome to internet game terrorism!!

Thats a very strong word to use
Really, and UA bombing a system isn't strong? Maybe there is a distortion of perspective here, the justification of actions by claiming that by doing so the purity of the game is saved, i.e. violent acts, and trying to impose your will on others isn't strong?
UA bombing may be it's perfectly allowable game play, like pirating, but I don't think that strategy is going to win too many friends and influence CMDRS to change their way of thinking.

Gday all,
i too have noticed the mission rates have dropped off on this run, also the interdiction rate has gone up. When I dropped in yesterday the mission board was nearly empty. Several hours work between the two stations managed to fill the cargo hold, but very poor quality haulage and no snake in runs. You are now being scanned as you enter the CEOS station, something that was not happening before. Will wait till things settle down in this system before I try again.
Yours Aye

Other thing to bear in mind is the liberate Ceos are losing control of system. Sirius Corp are on 62% last I checked.
Ceos and Sothis got nerfed and well so bad that going away is a good thing anyways, FDEV it was fine and well now we have to find another way to farm and get a good credit, sometimes longevity is not fun in the game, some people want to play all ships and spend some nice time in them, farming for engineers is already bad enough tho.
