You sure it's not a case of having removed them from overview settings? It's impossible to notice them without their icons and brackets and whatnot.

There's that one mission where you have to watch a bunch of convoys and kill the hostile one

I kept thinking they were removed as well. Then I realized I spend most of my time in a system with only 1 station... |

Years ago i would do L3 missions waiting for convoys to spawn, then kill all of them in the constellation. Would feed my pos and make some cash, got me up to 800m. Then the loot was nerfed so hard it became not worth the candle. Like every other isk fountain i've ever discovered! Curse you nerf hammer! Curse you to hell!!

Sooo, after all those replies still no definite answer to the OP's question ?
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me to find out CCP has removed that content from the game as well.

I decided to spend some time this evening, running from station to station, and am disappointed to say I couldn't find any of the NPC haulers anywhere

Have seen a convoy in past 6 months. Don't usually take note of them though. |

I have seen them at stations as recently as this past month. I would check your overviewer settings , or use the "all" tab while camped at a station. |

Seeing as the overview had already been suggested as a possible reason for them not being visible, I was careful to make sure mine was correctly configured.
I checked from lowsec Placid in through most of hisec Verge Vendor into Essence, and saw none of the NPC haulers, merchants or traders that were a common sight outside the stations.
I doubt that having checked so many I was repeatedly unlucky enough to catch glimpse of a single one before they'd docked or warped. |

The fun with convoys died when they removed stations shooting you when attacking them (and losing NPC standings)

Haven't seen a station convoy in a while but you can still get rat hauler spawns when chaining asteroid belts. |

Since there was no mention in patchnotes 'bout convoys removing, we can fill a ticket to support or just wait for some CCP official to clear up the situation.

A couple of months ago I had a convoy working out of my Home Station in HiSec but it was only when I had a lot of goods on the market in the region. So, it may be linked to trade.

From what I recall, they did attack you if you attacked their convoy. IE, in a two station system, where the stations were owned by separate entities, you could only shoot at the incoming convoys. If you opened fire on the outgoing convoys (which wasn't immediately apparent without watching them a bit), the stations would attack.
I enjoyed shooting them when I first started playing, just as something different, so I always enjoyed seeing them around. I haven't seen them at all since I returned a month ago or so.

Yeah then they removed so that only the Convoy shot back, essentially making it 100% safe to shoot and loot them. Was a bit more sport when the station sentries shot back (if you did it wrong).
