Wait a minute, what's going on here?

see those missions? they're all contracts to hunt down pirates in waranates.
why all of a sudden, is there a giant spike in these combat missions?
not complaining, just curious.
(also, sorry if this is in the wrong section. im new to the forums.)

Randomness and different factions.

Did you just become friendly/allied with the local faction.

They offer you more mission possibilities the more reputation you have with them.

im not allied/friendly with them yet.
anyway, i ask because they seem VERY committed to removing pirates.
look at the prices.
90k, ~20K, almost 20K...

I have no empirical evidence to back this up but do factions remember what missions you do and offer more of the same as you work with them.

I have been doing a lot of the smuggling missions so my BB seems to stock up on them with only a few other types.

Might be the result of the PowerPlay update. Some of the powers are looking to win systems by cleaning out criminal elements.

I noticed this as well, after doing a week's worth of rare trading and taking a break to a few navigational beacons, I like to break it up occasionally, I was getting the same types of missions.

I have thought the same thing, but trials have shown me otherwise. Frankly, I wish they would remember and I tried to get a suggestion thread started, but no one was interested and it got buried very quickly even after a couple bumps.

Yea you don't have to be. You picked up 2 from 1 faction and 2 from 2 other factions. Completely normal.

It also gets better as your rating increases. I had 4 assignation missions for the same system. 3 were for over 300k.

I was doing assassination missions over in Nehet. Ever since 1.3 every time I dock there's maybe 3 missions in Futhorc to assassinate a deserter.
Every mission spawns the exact same 2 Eagles, target is harmless-novice, escort is competent-dangerous.
While I enjoy knowing what I am going up against this is getting a bit samey.

They broke the mission system again. Many stations are only offering donation missions as 'active' missions, while the majority of 'unavailable' missions at those stations require elite/founder.
