The best part is that the board is full of missions that just flat out don't work.
The Cargo missions work fine, but Wing assassination missions are flat out broken because Nav Lock simply doesn't work. Even though I play in a Wing, I'm still sick of seeing Wing missions.. it's total B.S. that they didn't fix navlock before introducing a mission type that depends on it.

I do the Winged Cargo missions solo in my Type 9.
Good source for Exquisite Focus Crystals.

This I do too. Some of these wing missions seem vastly underpaid for the effort. A bit of tweaking and evening it out makes sense.
I have a second account and I ain't gonna be hauling 1600+t of anything in my small ships.
They seem underpaid as it's expected 4 Cmdrs would work together to complete them (eg 4 shielded Cutters can move around 2900t between them in a single jump)
It would be nice if they paid out based on each Cmdrs contribution (i.e. x4 if you did it solo) but in the meantime why not find some friends to fly with?
I use several popular PVE only pvt groups and enjoy winging up for all sorts of missions while having some banter in party chat - solitude leads to space madness my friend

Agreed, the credit rewards are a complete joke.
The Solo Cargo missions actually pay more then the Winged, sometimes over double. The only Value that the Winged Cargo Missions have is that they often reward rare materials for Engineering. If I don't need mats, I ignore them and stack solo cargo missions to make more money.
With respect but you are missing the best of the game, which is the interaction with other human commanders.
Yesterday I had a nice chat with one commander. He was flying he's Conda and we meet at a nav point. It's more frequent to find friendly Cmdr that what you would think, and I also love the chance of finding not so friendly ones...
You have to be prepared, but It's fun and it feels alive...
Flying solo is another game entirely... not for me...
As for the wing missions, I often pick them without buddies, so no reason not to be in solo mode...

I don't think its about avoiding open play. I have another account that I play strictly open and spend more time on that one currently. And yes, its quite a different game.
If the opportunity arose to fly in a wing then I'd have a go but I'm not really one to open comms with others.
I think and tend to agree that the op sees limited solo missions against wing missions. But then another day and another station is the opposite.

And fun!
You get used to them.
Wing missions are new to the game. Also 2x mission types have been removed pending fixes.
Yes it's not great but it'll calm down in a few weeks after a patch or two. Also you can do wing missions solo.

I like it this way. I farm wing assassination missions for fun and profit (and materials). It's easier to stack up on said missions when they spawn in solo. Because modeflipping FTW.
I think you may have missed the point of the OPs post. It's not just that he plays in solo, it's that he plays exclusively in solo AND his mission board is full of wing missions. I have the same issue - makes no sense and means that it's difficult sometimes to get a good stack.
I think the idea is that these wing missions can be attempted by anyone, regardless of whether or not they're in a wing. But I do think they should have their own section within station services.
I'm on board with that, simply because if it were a different category like passenger missions, we would overall have MOAR missions to choose from, which I'm always a fan of.
Wing cargo missions are the ideal opportunity to "twink" your 2nd account- do a wing mission on 1st account but dont hand in. Log onto your 2nd account from Steam and share the mission to your 2nd Cmdr. Alt tab across to your 2nd Cmdr to accept and then alt tab back to the first to complete the mission. Hey presto your 2nd Cmdr can now also complete the mission for a freebie payment of Mcr for doing absolutely nothing........
