Too many wing missions, not enough solo missions.

im still pretty new to the game and dont have a large ship yet so wing missions are basically a big no for me solo (and i dont have many friends to help)
trying to find any decent solo missions is becoming a chore D: perhaps tone down the amount of wing missions that appear since you can only take one at a time anyway?

You don't have to be new to the game to think that there are too many wing missions. I'm an old salt, with all the big ships, but I have very little interest in wing missions (I play PVE solo for the most part).

But it's probably temporary, having so many wing missions filling the boards.

The same thing happened when Passenger missions were introduced -- the boards were flooded with them and they crowded out all the others.

Eventually FD gave them their own section. I'm hoping for that with wing missions, too. They are just in the way, for me.

At LEAST give us a filter. Please :)

And why are there any Wing missions AT ALL when playing in Solo?!?

Really, the game ought to take some clears hints as to whether you're likely to want Wing missions, before offering them. (Not in Solo mode, is in a Wing or Multi Crew, etc.)

Yup, this times 1000.

That too.. except that filtering out Wing missions after they've been generated may mean you see very few missions at all. Then they'd get lots of complaints about that instead.

So I think they need to fix Wing missions properly, as in your first suggestion.

Usually FDev try to push new gameplay by spamming new mission like ads mails. Nobody does them as they always play crap and then mission system is more and more a mess.

For more than 1 year we have long range sight seeing mission (>10K LY) spamming passenger lounge and nobody takes them...

In the meantime they release new great passenger ship (Kruger's ships) and the specific mission (luxury passenger mission) that would make a use of them are so rare, that nobody really bother to found them. People only fly Kruger's ship for fun and pleasure and not for profits (big 3 ships are way more profitable).

Now we have wing cargo mission that plays crap and that can be used as money transfer for newbie...

Mission system needs a complete rework ! It's completly unbalanced, full of bugs and exploits over time and needs more depth (scenario, story line, use of galnet audio...).

It's the main core gameplay of the game ! They needs to invest a lot of time reworking it !

I think the intention was that wing missions in Solo would fulfill the wish that many commanders have long had to get missions that actually fill their Cutter or Type-9 instead of trying to find several 180 tons or less missions heading to the same destination.

The only problem with this is Frontier has to balance the rewards for a wing of CMDR’s doing the mission. What needs to happen now is solo delivery missions that use the same partial delivery mechanism as wing delivery missions, but have rewards balanced for a single CMDR.

In any event, it is long past time that Frontier held a Focused Feedback session on the missions system. The missions system is one of the weakest and most frustrating parts of the game and I really hope Frontier is willing to work with the community to fix it.

Judging by information from other threads this issue appears to be Solo server seed related. Have zero issues in Open.

Its open and solo, both modes are affected and board flipping makes no difference whatsoever. Neither does yer current rep considering Im allied to every faction in the system...and every board in every station tells a very depressing picture in any mode...wing missions outnumber all the other missions combined in either mode

I just need a filter or as others said, their own board. Even in Private servers, I still don't want to do wing missions or see the stupid things...

Agreed.

I often land at allied stations with numerous factions and there are just two or three low paying cargo missions while the rest is cluttered with wing missions.
A seperete board for wing missions would be good imho.
I play solo too btw.

It's happening plenty in open and private group too. Economy and system state seems to have some impact because of the way wing missions only fall into a few categories, but it's looking largely RNG.
