So im hanging out here and a system one jump over trying to grind a bit of fed rank. Also trying to make a few creds on missions. But the ONLY missions its giving me are Mining and donation with the occasional planet scan. Im talking 20 mining missions. Will these reset to something else? ... Does it depends on the state? (Current state is boom)

There are 3 systems near Exphiay you could try for ranking. Couple of Fed factions plus the usual criminal faction, it's not in boom right now but I suggest you check it out.
Run courier missions between these systems, all surface ports: Synuefe YK-N C23-8 - Synuefe YK-N C23-18 - Synuefe YM-H D11-84

From what I've seen, there are a lot of stations that used to be interesting that are now filled with nothing but mining and donation missions, with a couple of low ranking data missions tossed in.
I've kinda given up on the missions actually making any sense. Every time they tweak them, something else breaks.
I suppose there are just too many variables when trying to generate missions for so many diverse systems. I don't know the reasons, but I can see the results -- lots of nonsense missions.
Just move on, find another station where the mission generator is doing a better job.

Here's the thing about "Mining" missions - you don't actually have to Mine to complete them. I know, get out your Exploit hoods and pitchforks...
You can purchase the items they're asking you to mine from any Commodities Market, steal them from NPC's or players, scavenge them - it doesn't matter how they wind up in your cargo hold, as long as there are enough to satisfy the mission demand.
Rather than doing any specific "thing" to increase rank, it's better to understand why those places help you grind rank, so you can find your own places to do it.
Use the Galmap to look for systems in states such as famine, outbreak, conflict or war and consider how far they are from Sol, what their population is, whether there are other systems nearby and how many factions are present.
Any system in one of those states, with a couple of nearby systems that have similar factions, will be ripe for allowing you to increase rank pretty easily.
Was talking to somebody, last night, about this while in Merope.
Had a quick look and thought a system called Bhumbla (sp?) would be a good candidate for Fed' ranking.
Arrived and it's full of donation missions, data-delivery missions to nearby systems and a variety of assassination/massacre missions for when you get bored.
It's probably not quite as prolific as some of the "famous" places but it's certainly viable for rank-grinding, especially if you're willing to mode-flip.
I'm not saying "Go to Bhumbla for Fed' ranking!!!"
I'm just pointing out that it's pretty easy to find suitable places if you know how to look for them.
Also, mining missions to gain rank?
No thanks! [where is it]
