So I've been gone for the last 2 weeks, was around for the 2.4 drop and things are a bit different since I got back. Last night as I was working on Post Captain I did a couple of donation missions which resulted the usual chained missions. The first was a mission to deliver some goods, 3 units of beer I think, to an outpost, which I couldn't do because I was rocking the Annie not my Python. It paid in the mid 200's. I left the station and returned later, the same mission was on the board, but it paid +300,000...
So I did another donation mission and got the notification that a chained mission was available. Check the mission board for that faction and nothing. Tried to refresh the board and nothing popped up. In fact, nothing I did refreshed the mission board. Interestingly enough, as I was checking all the factions to see if the mission board had changed and nothing had been added or subtracted except for the original chained mission. Which was fluctuating in value from 180,000 to just over 1 million credits!
I tried logging off and back on and the new chained mission didn't appear, but a couple of new donation missions did, including for the faction that the missing mission was for. So I did that mission and got another notification that a chained mission was available and Presto Majico, I had 2 chained missions show up for that faction!
Later, as I was doing my last mission for the night I got the rank up mission for Post Captain, an assassination mission. As was real late I didn't want to take it so I ignored it. But then a real juicy mission popped and it was a quickie so I did that one. Now, the station I went to, I'm allied with every Fed faction and there was no rank up mission offered. Intrigued, I took a bunch of missions back the last station and again, no rank mission...
All in all a good night, made some money, killed a few NPC's and my pilot got in some nice work in the fighter. One thing I hope for is that one of the new ships brings is a decent haul capacity and a fighter to a medium capacity ship. I really like using my fighter but I hate that I can't go to outposts with a Python class cargo ship and while bringing a fighter. By the time you put a fighter bay in either the FGS or Keel Back they just don't have the cargo capacity.
