Engineers Robigo Mines no longer gives missions after update.

Same here at Quince. Only donate missions.
I am allied with 2 factions , and only missions are donate XX of this or donate $$$ to us.
Tried changing open/private/solo modes, not only single mission except the donate ones.
 
Darnielles Progress in MAIA is the new Robigo.
This planetary station now offers loads of smuggling missions with 290 to 350 ly jump range for
rewards between 4.000.000 and 6.000.000 each....
 
I'm in 17 Draconis right now and there are no missions other than Donate missions. Not a single one.

I wandered past there a few days ago before the update and it was mainly donate missions then too. Stuck around for an hour and only picked up one smuggling mission. I suspect its down to the state of the system rather than a nerf to the missions
 
Went there to check if you could still get well paid missions smuggling slaves, but nope. Gone.

I suspected something was up, because the Almagest system (where I got my LRS missions) no longer exists, the system has been renamed and it doesn't have a station any more :(
 
I agree with Travers - Almagest can be found on the star map but it results in WREDGUIA XD-K d8-78 and when you look there, there is nothing but the star!

I had a quick jump around the usual locations for LRS type missions over the weekend. Here is what I saw:

New Yembo :Loads of donate missions, nothing else.
BD+22 4939 :Reasonable range of missions from 0.7M to 1.2M creds, at around 200 ly range, reasonably grouped targets, non-illicit items.
Te Kaha :Loads of donate missions, nothing else.
HIP 8396 :No mission board.
Takurua :Loads of donate missions, nothing else.
Almagest/Wregguia :Nothing there at all, only the star.
Sothis :Reasonable range of missions from 0.7M to 1.8M creds, at around 300 ly range, reasonably grouped targets, non-illicit items.

So it looks like only one or two places on the 'Sothis spur' are trading well. And the missions are not smuggling, just long range delivery, and the values are lower than before.

Not yet had time to check the other locations (Fehu, Aditi, Canopus, Exphiay, Quince, 17 Draconis etc.

So why is this not presented in some UI way, like graphics of station systems glitching or errors showing in the systems and sparks going from the spaceport? Why is it, you have to learn from forum or obscure galnet article?

Good question!

Like I told before - (seems, no one reads Messages in the board):

Guys they haven't removed the smuggling missions, there's no conspiracy. Just go to any of the other systems outside the bubble and you'll find loads just like before. Roigo wasn't the only place to smuggle from. Give any of these a try:
Sothis: 494 LY
Ceos: 487 LY
Quince: 480 LY
17 Draconis: 412 LY
Wredguia XD-K D8-78: 386 LY
Maia: 383 LY
Takurua: 359 LY
New Yembo: 343 LY
HIP 74290: 329 LY

I've been to several of these and there were no long range smuggling missions.

I am seeing missions here for biowaste at 3 - 4 million credits
On one occasion while doing the mode cycle dance saw 4 smuggling missions for 7 - 9 million

What people are leaving out when quoting mission rewards and type of missions offered are two very crucial elements:

1- your faction status with the one or more factions offering jobs at those stations

2- your rank, which effects the missions offered and reward per sub-type of missions (Trade rank for delivery missions, Combat for kill missions, etc)

If you are near Elite, like say Tycoon trade rank, and have Friendly or better yet Allied status - you will get really good missions offered at either Maia, Sothis, Ceos, etc - the usual alternates to Robigo now that it is UA bombed.

*first hand knowledge of Sothis, Ceos - only repeating what I've heard re: Maia as not yet Friendly/Allied there.

At Sothis, Allied to two factions and friendly to other two, avg payout for my 100 ton Asp used to be ~32-36MM credits per round trip (average of 8-9 accepted missions for ~3-5MM avg each - all standard delivery missions. bit higher reward if I get some smuggling ones - I don't bother to menu swap to refresh missions, I just take what they have on hand, goto Ceos and scoop up whatever is there as well if I can't fill up at Sothis a Ceos is one jump away.

I say used to, because I now have ~50 tons of engineer mats, making my long range Asp no longer that much mission capable anymore. And I can't stand the # of jumps to get out and back in Python so for now the long range missions are on hold.
 
I'm fully allied in 17 Draconis, I landed there yesterday evening, since the update there are only combat missions available, no smuggling. Seems these are now fully nerfed.

Trading rank Entrepreneur
Combat rank Deadly

Allied with 3 factions and friendly with the forth

Currently at Sothis and not seeing any smuggling or LR haulage missions

Who knows how these missions are generated ???

Ill stay out here and just do local missions and see what happens

my xp is that it seems to cycle, and it is feast or famine - e.g. All or mostly boom data missions only - or - bunch of delivery, smuggle, covert acquire missions. One or the other, not much of a balanced mix.

somwhile I don't log in/out farm the bulletin board, I do log out once from solo to open, or vice versa, to reset the board until I catch one with bunch of delivery missions.
