Horizons Mission gathering in a system

[Jcross1]

So I'm gathering missions in a system that has 7 ports, all 7 ports have the same 6 or 7 factions offering missions in them. I've been flying between all 7 ports to gather up the mission type I want, but have begun to wonder... do the different ports offer different missions, even though they are the same factions in each, or is the mission board just flipping to new missions while I travel between them? I read somewhere in the forums that the mission boards renew every 30 minutes...

So I'm wondering if I should just pick up my missions in the closest station, wait for the board to reset/renew, get more missions, until full on the ones I want... or if travelling to another station in the same system will actually offer different missions (despite the mission factions/mission givers being the same in each station.)

On a side-note... I did try flying quickly between stations (I'm not very quick, lol!) and did find different missions in different stations, even given by the same faction head.

I like to think different stations have different missions, because they are physically different locations, so they may have different requirements at any one time.

Each station might have different economies and demands and exports and imports. So the random seed for the needed materials or potential deliveries is different. Thus the quests generated differ naturally.

It is a valid tactic.

I have a wireless camera in the fridge for that purpose...

Ah yeah... Chrome issue it seems, thanks once again!

Thanks again for the replies, the opinions along with my mad not-so-fast dashes between the 7 ports in the system gathering skimmer missions with different mission boards in each has definitely led me to believe each has its own missions. I just cant open the refrigerator door fast enough to catch the durn light on.... heh heh!

Stacking up 20 skimmer missions at the same target spot is frickin amazing for cash and federal rank ups!!
