This would have some merit if we only had one system for all in the whole galaxy. We have a few more, mind you...
And sometimes system have more than one station. Shocker, I know.
The Mission Board - Single Server or not, its a flop.

Do any of the core professions require missions ?.
There are no promise. You can engage with your decided role - which aren't standartized in any way - as you desire so. Missions are just lucrative deals from minor factions in game, throwing scraps to you.
I dont understand why it would be bad if every mission board would be almost the same no matter where you are ? Everybody will still be able to choose.
Just look at passenger missions, no matter where you are they are pretty much allways the same and nobody is complaining.
I have opposite perception of diversification. When I look at the current mission boards of one faction and see 100% massacre missions then other faction offers 100% delivery missions thats zero diversity. In my perception that is some lazy algorithm based on BGS.
............sell the bloody game to just about anyone anything and anywhere with some life and enthusiasm, this game remains in an abject coma

Does having 20,000ish populated systems mean that players do not deserve a profession-based mission board? Not really addressing the issue.
I'm not talking about homogeneous mission boards, but rather mission boards that reflect the government and economy of the system. A refinery system should mainly be about importing and exporting ore and refined goods. If the system happens to be in a low sec system, it will also require some security through missions against pirates. In a high security refinery system, mission against pirates should be rare, since that's what they got cops for.
This is a profound statement about FDEV game design, and the stated promise of the game.
I wish I could give you 1,000,000 rep.
You might want to check out the initial trailers for the game. All about professions.
So is it that odd that a miner should go look for mission in a system which has a refinery? And high tech or tourist economies don't have as much use for Painite?
Agree on the principle of the OP.

Again, if you are suggesting that the player see the game through the lens of the BGS to pursue a profession, then the focus of the game is the BGS and not the profession.
All large population systems would rationally have all mission types available.
It should certainly affect mission payouts..

Real life Kansas is not a space station full of spacecrafts that only sells Biowaste for some gamey reason...
Tourist economies should have high demand for painite as it is gemstone and rich tourists will surely buy some painite jewelry as souvenirs
Nonsense. If it didn't matter where you got your missions, since every mission board is a carbon copy of every other mission board, profession becomes irrelevant.
When the missions reflect the system make up, a part of the gameplay is finding the right system which provides the right missions for your profession. Now your profession means something.
I rest my case.Tourist economies should have high demand for painite as it is gemstone and rich tourists will surely buy some painite jewelry as souvenirs

What are you talking about? The game has plenty of professions. You can become a Fly A to B pro, a master of waiting, a noob ganker, or a professor at the university of relogging.
Could be worse.
It could have been some poorly written post it notes on a notice board, in no particular order what so ever, and most of them not being worth reading.

What a load of [redacted], so the system is in a state of war? So where are the missions to go on a stealth flight to photograph enemy installations, to ferry prisoners of war elsewhere, to take secret documents to an ally, to move necessary supplies like food and medicines to where it's needed, to protect / attack convoys, to mine for needed basics to make even more ammunition / weapons?
War isn't just guns 'n fighting! it's logistics and planning and subterfuge, gaining an edge with secret missions and system wide propaganda - loose lips sink ships!
Edit: Orrery!
As I said before. Different levels of payout could be tied to state, economy, player rep etc. Each system compensation would be different related to these factors.
