Inb4 mining missions are removed temporarily from the game.
You called it. :p

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that we will be temporarily removing mining missions from the game, until we're able to implement the next patch and set of hotfixes (I will let you know when the patch is coming as soon as possible).
Thank you for identifying this issue and bringing it to our attention. We have already identified a fix for it, and that will be coming in the next update as mentioned above.

For those interested, the issue is due to the introduction of the new mission reward choices, which is a large scale change that touches on almost all mission templates. Thanks for your patience while these are offline.
 
These sorts of things happen from time to time.
High Tech Systems in Outbreak states that sell the very medicines they generate missions to bring in, Agricultural Systems in Famine states selling the food they so badly need... they also tend to be short-lived and dry up on their own. As long as they stay that way, it's not really any big deal.

I've seen this sort of thing happen as far back as 2.1 when there was no mission reward choice, and it's always been possible to create reward/mission loops where one mission gives out X amount of Y, and another mission wants Z amount of X... when these are tied to a specific system state, and that state has a 3-day lifespan, it's generally not much of an issue. Big score if you find one, and believe me I've scoured the bubble looking for these. They're British Hen Teeth to be sure. I think I've found a total of 3 in the past 2 years.

Most of the time it's "Hey, we need X of Y (which we sell), here have some Z" and a mission that says "Hey we need some Z, (which we just gave you)." and then the "Hey we need you to buy what we sell here" missions either drop off, stop giving out Z, or missions wanting Z dry up - so maybe 2 freebies every so often.

Mission Roulette - play long enough and Green 00 will come up.
 
Oh, I didn't mean excessively-rewarding missions.
I just meant turning entire kind of missions off to address something troubling them, may soon end up in mission boards being completely empty, or having one type of missions available.

1 Cr Data Courier missions, limit 1.
 
Missions where they ask you to get them 18 Osmium make them pay you 30 Osmium + cash? really?
Really.

The fact that a very simple condition statement would have ensured this didn't happen, coupled with the fact that this condition didn't occur to the developer writing it, as well as the fact that testers missed this .. is quite scary.

Wait. Weren't we the testers ?
