Thargoid Scout Missions

[Serenity03]

According to a video that CMDR Exigeous made 10 months ago, stations under repair offer missions to kill scouts in nearby systems. I've been to three stations that are under repair. Not one has scout missions. Was this a thing of the past? If so, why isn't there Thargoid missions available? I am so bored with killing pirates.

IMO, the mechanics of mission-board generation have been either:

• Utterly broken, for remote and/or unique circumstance mission boards; or
• In dire need of overhaul, for a collection of reasons

I've bugreported this pre-current-bugreport-system before, and never had much success (Mission boards not respecting BGS states and failing to generate war-themed missions took =~ 18 months to get resovled, from initial report through to resolution)... given things like this aren't usually the hot topics when everyone's like "Why do missions when you can grind void opals!" I've practically given up hope that it'll ever get fixed.

Damaged/repair stations in particular are missing many of the missions they offered when they first appeared in the game, such as salvage and delivery missions, as well as missions to destroy Thargoid ships.

Even worse, still going over to the peladies to operate in more dedicated Thargoid space even from AEGIS stations has like no Thargoid content "oh go kill a pirate lord pls" ... "do some data delivery".... "scan a surface point"......"source and return x material" etc etc. Really annoying.

I concur. I was all over that area recently and got involved in some xeno hunting. The locals were oblivious to the fact that half their stations were decimated, and that 90% at least of the signal sources were non human and threat level up to about 9 I think. Yeah, no reason to have anything about that on the mission board. Those pesky eagle sideys though, and those black boxes, they are the bane of our existence.
