Hello all. I have only ever been able to do one first contact missions. I was wondering how would I be able to get more. I am t4 in diplomacy but I can't seem to ever be assigned them.
I believe First Contact missions are either badly broken, or you only ever get one. I check every day I log in (which is pretty much every day), and have never gotten another one. I've asked Customer Service more than once, and the canned reply is always the same:

Contact Ambassador Jiro, and do some dipomatic invertigetions missions, (and after a faw you should at a chance to do a frist contact mission) if it works
I tried that too, I would do 4-5 of them seeing if it would trigger First Contact. I stopped doing that a while ago though when it seemed to have no effect. But since they won't explain the mechanic that governs generating First Contact missions, who knows; maybe that works? It's worth a try, especially if you enjoy schlepping commodities to the farthest reaches of the galaxy map.

So... keep checking. But don't hold your breath.
