Many Missions give the Option of Goods or Materials as a reward and I have stocked up on materials I need to Engineer frequently, however some Materials either are not offered or are extremely rare to find. Now I like the idea of Materials Traders and trading 6X for 1Y and what not but how about a third option where I just need one or two Materials and I can place a Bid for what I want and a Tailored Mission pops up. How hard the Mission is can be related to the Rarity of the Material. Maybe I can be limited in some way in how many of these I can do, say five of these Missions per Server Day as the intent is just to get me over the line to go get new Engineering, not to make it so easy to do it takes no time. If you are unlucky then it takes many, many Encoded Emissions to find a 1% drop Very Rare Material and sometimes what you do pick up makes little difference to Trade for it. 216 for 1 could mean 10 Scavenger Missions and I probably need at least 4 of these Very Rare Items to do what I want. Probability can be a Pig sometimes.

Mission is generated by random Faction for say ONE of each Material or TWO of one of them selected.
Can be any type but usually Source and Return, Deliver, Courier, Planetary Scan, Black Box or Samples Retrieval.
Difficulty based upon Rarity of Material.
Missions can include Interdictions and Threat Levels 0 or more but are not DIRECTLY Combat Related because Very Rare stuff should be hard but not too hard.
A long distance delivery of 50 LY or more with a tight Time Limit for example.
Multiple Leg Planetary Scan Missions.
Covert Rendevous followed by Multi-Leg Data Delivery
