Mission board refresh frequency?

Recently bought EDO and was sure this question would have come up in the last year (but can't find a squeak about it, anywhere).
AFAIK, the EDH board refresh is still every 10 minutes on the 10, but that doesn't seem to be true for the on-foot board. Maybe I need to leave and redock? (Eek.)

Sorry to say I haven't paid much attention to that, I just grab whatever I want to do and by the time I come back it usually has refreshed anyway. I don't think docking again or relogging refreshes the mission board (anymore).

The 10m refresh isn't necessarily a full board refresh... rather it will keep "new-ish" missions, age of old ones and create new to make roughly 100 available.

How that works isn't entirely clear... suffice to say sometimes it's not obvious the refresh happened.

The EDO board updates every 10 minutes, but the start time for that update varies on a day-by-day basis. Best way to figure out when the update occurs in a given 10-minute timespan is to talk to one of the Mission Givers and leave the dialog box open until the "Mission Expired" warning appears. When that happens, note the time and add multiples of 10 to figure out the subsequent update times (e.g. you notice the message at 4:36, so the next updates will occur at 4:46, 4:56, 5:06, etc.).

As Jmanis mentioned, the board doesn't totally refresh every 10 minutes; there seems to be a ~30 minute lifespan for missions on the board before they are replaced by new ones, at least according to my observations.
