Hello,
On the original backside of the box art for Frontier Elite II (at least
for the Cd-Rom version), the text mentions that there is no less
than 82 Missions included within the videogame.
http://www.mobygames.com/game/frontier-elite-ii/cover-art/gameCoverId,161833/
I was curious to understand what they meant, and started to write down the different military missions (not "type of mission", I really mean the different missions) that exist in Frontier Elite II. I only found 40. My deduction is that they differentiate a mission made for the Federation from a mission made for the Empire, so that would bring the number to 80, with only 2 missions missing, but those could be the general non-military transportation and assassination requests found on the Bulletin Board.
At any rates, here are the Military Missions I found. Please inform me
if they are more, or of any correction, or if you have access to the source code text of FE2 that could shed a light on what I'm trying to clarify.

I know there are rumours of special enemy ships destruction missions for
Lieutnant/Viscount and up, but they seem to not have been implemented.
I also took note of all the different requests on the Bulletin Board
Here:
Missing People:
Missing Person: - - last seen in the -- system. -- paid for useful information.
-- Reward: for useful information on -- from the -- system.
Small Packages:
Ship Required: payment of -- for a ship to take a small package to the -- system.
Wanted: a ship to take a small package to the -- system. Will pay --.
Passengers:

Wanted: passage on a ship for a group to the -- system. Will pay --.

ship to the -- system.

(there is a slight variation of the Goods Bough And Sold one)
Charity:

to --. All gifts gratefully received.
Donations: to -- for --. We need YOUR cash NOW!
With the original source code text, you could get a list of
all possible name variations, and other details. I thought
this information was missing from Frontierverse, but it
is very trivial.
Cheers,
Tribble
Post-Scriptum: Actually, my incentive for starting this was that I wanted to involve a little narrative in the open-ended universe of FE2. I thought it would be a more interesting challenge to try complete each specific mission, even though this is only interesting from a narrative prospect. I didn't realize then that to reach a higher rank, one had to complete a very large number
of missions, ensuring that all specifics are covered, wrether one cares or not.
