Lots of focus on the bait and switch destination change from certain mission types - so enough said.
What I'd comment on as another aggravation to these destination changes is the timing. The when the change is done.
It would be exaggeration to say most the time, but fair to say 'decent percent of time' the destination changes for me occur when I am almost back to the station I am supposed to drop at.
Meaning, yes I get a lot of changes when I'm just barely on way back - which ok, that has set of issues we know about re: large ships diverted to outposts, etc.
But this other aggravation is that if change is going to be made, it should be immune if you are already back in the system you are supposed to go to. But quite often - not 51%+ or anything like that - but often enough that it is a frustrating tease, is I am on final glide at 6sec closure rate to the station in supercruise, almost about to disengage, and I will get message saying new destination.
So first - obvious change desired would be to just toss this entire stupid mechanic of destination changing. If not, then of course the fix for smart changes based on your ship size.
But on top of that - no destination change should be able to trigger if you are already in the previously agreed on destination system.
