Auto-submit missions

[Falco]

When docking to a station, why would you want to go to the mission pannel and click all the missions there? You can't cash them in anywhere else anyway. So just automate the whole thing and give the reward overview as mail, or just put it all on one page. I wouldn't really mind if it were fast to do normally, but every time you click the mission, it slowly opens up the reward window, bugs out visually when you close them quickly, takes forever to load, etc.
Nobody reads that stuff anyway.

That's not necessarily true. I want to make sure I get the bonus because of the rush that I did to get there or the NPC pirate that I killed trying to stop me getting there. It's a sort of checks & balance moment because I had one instance there I thought I made it, but didn't get the bonus fail email because of lag.

You'd still get your check and your overview.
What I had once, was I was in a rush to get the time bonus, and then I docked, and then I clicked through the missions that I had, cashing in each one, and each one taking 10 seconds to connect, load, bring up the silly reward screen. And by the time I was halfway done with the missions, my time ran out.
Just cash them in all automatically. Heck, if you want you can even force open a multipage report, clicking through each mission report individually and close them all at once. Just don't make me click 50 buttons for some info I don't want. (20 missions, each time taking 5 seconds to load, 20x back in the report screen + selecting mission board, factions, and various other overhead)
I don't see the point in waiting for mission payouts after docking.

The only thing I can possibly concieve is that you want to come out of dock again and have that pirate intercept you, so you can get your 10k credits for the kill or something like that. Nobody would do that kind of thing. I'm happy if I can cash in my missions quickly, and not be interdicted 3 times in the last light second from the station...
But that might just be me. If there is a problem with auto cash missions, then have it an option, or ask the player when they open the mission board: "Do you want to cash in all missions here?" or have a checkbox system, like they do with the ship rebuy screen.
