You know how sometimes you'll be chilling in your ship somewhere in the bubble and a mission or tipoff will land in your inbox?
Wouldn't it be cool if that happened in deep space?
Not all the time. Just once every few hours or days, to break things up and give you some occasional structure if you want it.
A scout ship has been lost and we've determined you're the only ship in a thousand light years of the site. If you can scan the wreck/retrieve a black box/rescue a survivor, the Pilots Federation will pay you several million credits.
Universal Cartographics have detected atypical magnetic activity in System X. If you can go there and scan the whole system, we'll pay you a 500% bonus on it.
Scientists have had reports of an unusual genus of void life in the vicinity of Nebula Y. If you can locate some and get a composition scan/research sample, they'll reward you handsomely.
The missions given would obviously have to take into account what modules you have on board.
Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to implement
