What happened to the Courier missions?

Besides my systems getting strip-traded, I noticed they seemed to have stop giving out the courier style missions. The ones where the cargo is provided and you just need to play pizza driver with it. I liked those, easy money, and usually took me to new stations/systems I hadn't been to before. (Even the slave running ones, which, while I morally wrestled with, the 44K for a quick SC run to a station was too easy to not give in and do!)

Was this on purpose by the Devs, or did I just hit a string of bad timing on them?
 
Ive noticed this and im less than 20 ly from Sol. the BB boards should be lit up like a bonfire. I only see one or two courier missions and certainly never two or more to the same system like the beta/gamma builds. I wish we could go back to that.
 
I'm not sure about them being missing, well I'm positive they're not. I just went to a new system specifically to do missions to try and get faction rank missions and got 3 delivery missions from the first port I docked in. I'm flying to the third right now.
 
Probably related to starport and maybe faction effects (boom, etc?) My system has nothing BUT courier and fetch missions. Bit annoying because I want pirate hunt missions.
 
I think the missions are the same for everyone, and they get taken by other players in the more popular systems. Don't quote me, but I think I read that somewhere. Still, this needs to be addressed. I hope 1.1 livens the game up a little with some more interesting missions. Maybe some sneaky stuff that pays a butt load. Have to sneak into a certain station with a load of black ops troops that are going to infiltrate and take over the station. Stuff like that. If you get caught, maybe you have to sit the game out for 30 minutes or get your ship impounded.
 
Seeing the same since the last update - to the point where the BB has been completely empty in a couple of stations I frequent (and traffic reports suggest that other players are rare around my base of operations). Kinda makes it a little hard to work on faction rep when they don't seem to offer missions anymore, even when I'm friendly....
