Dear CCP I was reading a thread today on how missions some times are issued back to back with the same or similar mission, there is a good point here as I find I get no guristas extravs for ages and then all of a sudden I get 5 back to back and that destroys the day for me.
I think you could have a look at how missions are issued ie, the agent could say "I have a few jobs for you to do today" and he offers you 5 missions and these 5 missions are the only ones you will be offered in the next 24 hrs (reset at DT) untill you either do them or decline them (more will be offered but in blocks of 5)
This would allow people to choise a nice short mission in there lunch brake or select a long one wile they stay away from the washing up. also you could build in here that no 2 same missions will be offered in the 5 and this will stop people been hit with the same missions all day as that's a boare.
Just an idea for yall to ponder over.
Folks, please give ideas, feed back and attempted assinations (on me) below as CCP could do with some feed back on ideas like this before they can even look at making it happen.

I like it!
5 missions every 24 hours might be a bit too good though. You could decline the long one, then pick the 2 easiest and by the time you have finished them you can decline another without penalty. With a little luck you could keep going on just having short ones.
Maybe 3 missions every 48 hours or so?

I see what you mean and there is 2 sides to the case, as some people only want short missions and some just want the money rich ones, but either way it would be nice to log on for 40 mins and be able to do a mission that you enjoy instead of having to leave it for 3 hrs or so so you can decline a second. but I also like your idea too.. if the number was 5, there could be sumit like you have to do 3 out of the 5, so if you decline 3 or more you get a large hit mabey.
Edited to add, however my idea was kinda to allow people to accept missions and decline without a penility instead of sitting afk in station til the timer runs out and then getting miffed at the game. I feel the standing hit should be for people who fail a mission and not them that can't do them for what ever reason.

Thumbs up for the idea. Still the implementation needs some more work.

Would love to see something like this although at the same time I wouldn't like to see the agents turning into something like the job terminals in EnB. Think you would have to hide the likes of the reward and loyalty points before people accept the missions.

I believe the agent should say something like :
"Glad you're back, I have these three missions here, one that should pay better if done in the next 1h10m, another one at 4h30m and the last one, the most important one, you have 6h25m to complete it. Choose quickly, I have to find someone else for the other two."
You don't get to choose which mission you do, but atleast you know that anything in the 1h range is pretty easy and the one that's 6h is most likely the Extravaganza or Silent the informer etc...
that way, there's no "cheating" by deciding to take the most paying missions, although we all know that the longer the bonus time, the more money there is into it, but it would atleast give you the choice of mission lenght.

I like this idea, however the missions should be given in packs of 5, 3 of which you would be required to do and 2 which you could decline without a penalty. ONLY when you finish your current set of 5 could you get the next set, no timer, as the addition of a timer as you suggested didn't seem as though it would serve a substantial purpose. However, I think perhaps the agents should give you a choice of whether you want the 'block 5 method' or the '1 at a time 4 hour rejection' method. I can think of some positive things the 1 at a time method would have over the block 5 and would like to have the choice between them.

I agree with every point and counter point that has been brought up in this and every other argument ever had.

yeah I don't see why something akin to privateer's bulletin board mission selection system ( though with randomised missions list per agent per day ) couldn't be implemented,
once one of the missions in the list is completed another randomly selected one ( provided its not double-up or back to back ) takes it spot on the board ( or something similar )
would provide alittle more flexibility to the mission selection process, as markie says allowing players alittle more choice in length of mission they are under-taking.
penalty wise or trying to stop pilots picking and choosing is kinda hard to combat, but compared to having them wait out mission decline times for hours on end doesn't help anyone as far as I can see |

/signed.
It's a good idea and I saw something similar suggested before. This would really improve the current mission system.
