Thought chain missions were back...

... but it's just a promotion mission...

It's interesting it uses the "chain" mission graphic though... like they're meant to exist, but for some reason they don't appear.

Rank ups always used to be chain missions.

Were they? I swear they had their own category... cant find old screenshots anywhere.

Ah, you're right, I just found a screeny. But still... wonder why actual chain missions aren't a thing anymore, considering their representation isn't an issue.

They were the only part of the mission board that could be manipulated by reloading. That was how I used to recommend people do rank missions. Do donations/courier until a chain mission popped. Then reload until it became a rank mission and keep going if you didn't like that particular rank mission. Maybe they don't like that aspect of them.

Something is broken in the turn-in procedure in the Live clients that prevents the chained missions from being triggered, because before the Legacy/Live split it was possible to get them to spawn in Odyssey by turning in missions in Horizons. The icon, the inbox message text, the cheesy mission descriptions are all still there.
