I made some research about mission spawning because i wanted to know what stations spawn regular prospecting missions, as mining is preete poor choice to make money by it self i hoped i can boos it reliably with missions.
So i flew to many stations and discovered that mining missions spawns almost exclusively at High tech stations, not sure if it is some kind of bug, design of my luck, but even flying to high tech stations i noticed that prospecting missions are pretty rare, here are some numbers:
Assassination 6 3 1 1 4 1 4 2 3 2 4 1 2 4 3 2 = 43
Trade 3 2 2 2 2 0 3 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 0 = 27
Courier 2 2 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 0 4 2 4 4 4 1 = 32
Delivery 2 2 1 3 1 1 2 2 3 2 2 1 2 2 2 4 = 32
Pirate hunt 3 2 0 2 5 2 3 6 3 3 1 6 3 1 3 2 = 45
AID 2 0 1 2 2 0 1 0 2 2 1 0 0 2 0 0 = 15
Smuggling 2 1 1 1 0 3 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 = 24
Stolen goods 2 2 3 4 2 3 0 2 1 4 2 1 1 2 1 2 = 32
Prospecting 1 2 1 0 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 3! 1 2 1 = 21
Fetch illegal goods 0 1 3 3 2 3 0 3 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 4 = 31
You can see that my experience gave me second rares mission type.
My point is : can you confirm that missions prospecting missions spawn only at high tech and pretty scares ?
Imho spawn rate should be a bit higher just to compensate poor earning from mining itself, and check so other station could spawn those mission too... (they actually do but 1 very rarely)
