All Passengers Mission Locked

Hi Folks ... this seems like an obvious problem but I am clearly missing some detail.

I have been playing ED for many years on and off (Around 500 hrs) . I've always just cruised around doing passenger transport missions without any issues. Literally every station or port I land in has at the very least, a few that I can do.

Since recently getting back into it I have been flying passenger missions exclusively and making going coin doing VIP transports etc. No problems. However .... for the very first time the other day, I decided to pledge allegiance to one of the main three powers. The Alliance. After a few hours I decided it wasn't for me and left the faction and returned to just being an independent, neutral party cruising the galaxy.

Since leaving the faction, ALL of the passenger missions are either greyed out or lock by reputation. I realise a portion are all locked in that way for me at every station, but now literally ALL passenger missions are locked, at every station, all the time. I have jumped from system to system, stopping at many ports, but it's the same everywhere I go. I am currently neutral rep with pretty much all the minor factions and have a Broker rating as a Trader. Sorry I may be reporting my rep status with the minor factions wrong ... I've been on Cordial or above on all of them for a while. Never had ANY issues getting passenger missions.

Am I doing something wrong ? Is it a bug ? Did joining, then leaving the Alliance stuff something up I am unaware of ? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK, you don't just leave PP, you are defecting. This means the power you pledged to will hunt you down for some time (7 days?), and perhaps that also locks your options at certain ports. With the current war narrative though, it might be better to skip passenger missions anyway, lest the goids are on your back.

My understanding is you either leave or defect. They are two different things. I left. According to the ED documentation the leaving penalty only lasts for 0.5 days. Its been well over 24hrs

Ah, that could well be the case, it is quite some time that I last played anything PP related. However, I remember this approx. week long period of reduced options after not being pledged to a power anymore. Perhaps it is just another bug?

This might seem like a dumb question but, you do have cabins, right? Passenger missions will all be greyed out if you don't have any passenger seats.

I did have some issues a couple of night ago with all missions greyed out - not passenger ones in my case - despite my meeting the requirements of many of them. Servers have been flaky of late for me, though not played in a couple of day now.

The player numbers are sadly at the lowest since the game began and seeing as Frontier uses AWS the reduced volume is probably causing a renegotiation with the amount of server space. That's just my hunch anyway. What once was fairly stable may now be more subject to fluctuation if it drops below a certain threshold perhaps.

Servers have been rubbish for me lately, so I've not played for a few days as it was becoming very annoying. I understand people are reporting regular crashes since Thursday's tick, I've not been in-game myself.

I haven't been blocked from passenger missions, but there seem to be far fewer group missions available recently. Perhaps the Scythes are discouraging travel :)
