Newcomer / Intro missions

Does anyone know why missions don't correspond to your current ship type? If I am in my Trading Python i get "go kill, hunt, massacre,etc.; In my FDL I get all sorts of CARGO hauls (usually above 60 units which a 36 unit FDL can't do). Can anything be done about it?
 
The point is that you can now accept any mission* and swap into a ship capable of it.

So if you dock in your stripped-down exploraDBX and see a mission offering 58MCr or 5+ rep for fetching 20tonne of Palladium, you can accept the mission and swap into a suitable ship.

(*virtually - there are some differences.)
 
What makes you think a 36 tuon FdL can't do a 60 ton cargo missions? Even a 4 ton Sidewinder could do a 500 ton cargo mission since the depots were introduced. You just would need to do the trip multiple times, delivering one tranche at a time.

Missions relate to the station types and faction states. If you want trade missions, don't go to a military outpost in (civil) war. If you want combat missions, don't go to a tourist station in boom.

Hum yeah, I could also clean my ears with a Dremel Tool and latch on to one of those 9000+ cargo runs with my Python. Thank you but no to all.

The Elite universe economy has a Background Simulation (BGS) and dependent upon what State (War, Election, Boom, Outbreak etc.) of both the System as well as the Faction you are running missions for will determine the missions available corresponding to these States. You have to build and use an applicable ship for the mission you accept!

Good luck & o7 CMDR,
