Why is the Mission Generation System Still Broken?

[Crank Larson]

A very interesting read... I wonder can someone explain; Why is it, say in Quince cuz it's easier to spot, does the mission board change so drastically?

Example; I login in Solo, and check the board and see 0 (zero) missions, then login in Open mode and see a screen full of missions for each faction?

Is this recently? Because while it did used to happen (I used Quince a fair bit), I don't believe it happens much any more. I stopped using Quince when it became pointless - I can get the same missions elsewhere. Mode switching doesn't change the mission board for me much at all anymore (though I haven't tried it since it stopped working, which was around 2.3 release, I think).

As a coder myself, the [design team] explanation just does not add up. From what I can make out, there is an over-reliance on randomness. #justsaying

...or it's a bug.

if the missions are generated on the Adjudication server, surely some missions should have generated?

At other times, in solo I get missions and in Open i get an empty screen?

So as not to simply relate this to Quince, I saw this exact same behaviour when in Ceos/Sothis doing the Fed ranking. And again when doing the Quent/Palin garbage.

my idea is that solo and open instances "don´t know each other" because the solo instance is created when you log in, while the "open instance" could be there for hours...

Hi there,

No, just the actual rank.

And only profession ranks affect missions right now, not your ranks within the superpowers' military reserves.

Thanks,
Dom

The bit of Dominic's comment I've highlighted in bold worries me.... with what we understand is about to happen [where is it].
How do I resign my commission?
