Not noticing ones you grabbed were for you only and only realizing it when heading back to turn them in and seeing a severe lack of a SHARE button....
For the love of the gods, I wish missions would repopulate with wing/crews when you join/make one

I'd wish for a Pull Option.
We already have several key filters for Mission Selection.
Just have Player or Wing Lead choose Illegal/Legal and Trade/Mining/Combat etc. Mission type and then Intensity Level, then click the "Request Mission" Button.
Server generates a suitable Mission as selected and respects Ship Size(s).
Voila, never having to wait for specific Missions anymore, never flying with near-empty Cargo holds anymore, never seeing "no suitable Missions available" on the Mission Board, never again "Ship too large".
Just add a little price tag or requirement, i.e. Allied with the Faction in question and increased Opposition. Premium Mission = Premium risks.
Above basically just fixed every single shortcoming of the Mission System. Don't find anything suitable or need to top off? Request a suitable Mission and never go out empty again.
Just got to be careful how much you can chew, otherwise be faced with Premium Reputation loss if the Mission fails or is abandoned...

Great plan - Problem solved.
While i don't 100% agree with everything... the general principle is exactly what's needed.
I prefer the idea of that generation method generating a selection of missions as you categorised... rather than for individual missions, and then that's just the way you get missions.
All states/governments/economy combinations generate the same broad type of mission categories... so there's no reason the user shouldn't be able to request those types of missions as you described... and it fixes many problems with the mission boards.
Overhaul of Mission Board UI and Mission Lists
DISCLAIMER: I can't photoshop to save myself. I apologise in advance for my rancid efforts :) Removing board flipping from the game is, fundamentally, a good thing. It's a good move by FD, and I stick by it. However, there's still some extant problems with the mission boards that board flipping...
