News Implementation of a dedicated mission server
I agree completely. Board flipping isn't about getting higher payouts, it's about FILLING an empty ship.
Since 3.3 landed I've been doing Passenger Missions still and added Assassinate Pirate Lord Missions. Let's not forget those 26mil missions to kill 54 Pirates either eh?

The problem Fdev created in passenger missions is both a lack of passengers (for large ships) in a great many systems AND the problem of being forced to accepting low rank (and pay) missions to fill your ship. Refugee missions will fill your ship but they are absolute garbage pay and not worth doing the vast majority of the time. They certainly don't pay enough to justify the price of a fully outfitted large ship. Fdev created the rank grind and the reward for achieving higher rank (or accepting a higher rank mission) is, in part, higher paying missions. However, with 3.3 that reward is largely mitigated because the majority of missions you will be taking are going to be for below your rank. An elite pilot with a conda or beluga should be paid well and should be able to fill their ship with high paying passengers consistently. If that is not possible you might as well remove the large passenger ships like the beluga from the game entirely. For a player to save up for a beluga, finally buy and outfit that ship for passenger missions and then to find out that they did all that for nothing because fdev changed the rules is not ok.
Let be honest here. This dedicated mission server exists for one reason and one reason only. It is to quickly take down and nerf any gold rushes that are found. That's it. The stability is vastly worse, the load times are slower, the mission availability is a fraction of what it was when you could board flip, and the pay has not risen 10% like was promised. I see zero change is pay scale. Everything Fdev said about the mission server with a bald faced lie. The mission server makes every players in game experience worse in every way. It ONLY serves as a tool to satisfy fdevs irrational fear that someone somewhere at some time might actually make some credits and if that ever happened the game will instantly implode.

Im fine with new server system, because re-log was like cheating game mechanics or just taking advantege of weak point of the game processes.
I'll not hide that I was using it as hell, especialy when it was possible to do 200~300mln/1hr with 3 fiernds in wing transport missions.
I miss here something simple but brilliant like R* made in GTA Online, ocasionally grinding is boosted +50%.
It could be conected here with Comunity Goal, that whatever is there to od for couple days you get 100% when you do it in open.
Another event can be boost on obtaining materials where you get 6 instead of 3, or scans.
Ociasionaly boosts works like discounts in shops, people are waiting for that and also do some planning how ot play next week.
I never did mining instead of this part for engeener, just give me a chance to take double benefits for couple days and for sure you will see me digging as hell

That's why I think it would be nice if there was a way to see all available missions in a star system before you even dock. You have to dock to pick up the mission, but why not have a system-wide message board with what's available. Jump in, check what's there without having to fly to station, then decide to go there or jump to next system.

Yes, this has already been implemented.
The 10% increase in mission pay had NOT been implemented. The pay is exactly the same, at least for passenger missions. So they implemented all the aspects that would hurt players but failed to implement the single aspect that marginally compensated for the massive nerf.
Yep pretty much this. They gave us Opals to make use feel better about it.

You didn't miss much. Except for the massive mining gold rush. (goes back to stroke fat bank account).Thanks. I am somewhat out of the loop lately with a new job and house move
I was one of those who was doing money in Robigo. And I was whining as hell that this solution will nerf Cr income and make that it will slow down my progress.
Right now sometimes I wait extra 10~15min for reload and that it, but this time I do not go to Robigo anymore.
Either I do VoidOpals or Piarate Massacre missions.
Game became fun in the moment where I look for Cr to have cover for rebuy in PvP.
Instead of damn bus, which was boring as hell I blow up motherlode Void Opals or blow up hundreds of pirates and that is Cr worth.

Void Opals mining brought back the joy into my space life.
But, missions are dead for good. There's no reason to check the board anymore, my Cargo Cutter and Passenger Conda are all in the hangar and seems they will be there for a while.
Relogging was the "only" way to fill up cargo or cabin spaces so there's no reason to fly those mission oriented ships for me anymore.
And it's not about money; i can sort it pretty quickly and easily when i'm off to mining. There's no joy in flying with %25 of the capacity. You might suggest i should pick several missions to different systems, but then, you compare and find out it's not reasonable to do such thing as it actually does not worth.
So, please do something about the mission board.

Missions are dead you say?
There is another secret in the galaxy you haven't discovered yet
Yeah the ' bugs. Troopers hold the line.
Somethings really goin' wrong lately.
Don't you remember? This wasn't about nerfing re-logging for missions or being able to immediately react to any gold rushes by taking down the mission server without taking down the whole game. This was to help the players. The missions were not going to lag anymore and it was going to be more stable. They were also going to increase the payout of missions 10% because only 2.8% of players board flipped.....LMAO. Yeah 2.8% per day maybe. So lets see what else they lied about....they lied about of 10% increase because missions rewards have not been increased at all. They lied about it being more stable with less lag and they lied about it being nothing more than a massive nerf to all missions.
A few of us here saw this con job for what it was and we warned the community here but the Forum Dads told everyone that frontier would never lie and they only are interested in whats best for players. You were all warned and no, its not going to be improved because it is working as intended.
