Hi dose anybody get Aid the planet missions? In playing the game since lanuchthey seem to be very rare and in some exploration areas non existant. The only place I remember getting any where in the Hromi Cluster
In the mission brief for Needs of the many says go to Delta Valanis and aid planet, but i've tried entering lots of uknown systems and still no aid the planet mission i tried for about an hour. and gave up.
before the update im pretty sure i didn't get aid planet missions until exploring the Hromi Cluster

Waiting for random mission that may never come unless your in a region that giives that mission, [im pretty sure i only and very rarely at that get them in the Hromi Cluster] is just silly it could take hours of start and exit a mission until you can complete.
For example today i tried about 10 times in the Delta Valanis to get an Aid mission 5 times in thr Hormi Cluster before giving up the quest. im sure i will get an aid the planet mission but i will just let "Needs of the many" go until by pure luck a "aid the planet" mission comes up.
Two soultions i can think of,
A Npc gives you the location of planet in need and you can go straight to it when you enter the right Exploration zone.:)
The random mission generator waits until its has given the player 1 mission start of the each of the missions before it repeats mission.
So for exmaple if there are 20 different mission types it selects from. it would have to of offered the player each one of them before it offered a repeat, so then a player would never get 2 missions of the same type in a row again. Also that would an aid planet mission would orrcur more and hopefully in each exploration zone.
The player could still exit and drop the mission if they didn't like the one they had been given the generator would still count it,

If it helps you any, isn't that mission only worth 52 skill points or something? Definitely not a game breaker imo.
Good luck in your exploration!
I spent an hour looking for an Aid mission and didn't even find one. So I dropped the mission.
Cryptic needs to:
1) Make a static location, for this mission. Like one of the already created static worlds.
2) This mission gives a priority in exploration missions as not to waste people's time.
And they also need to look from a new person's perspective, they would keep trying exporation missions til they found it, which given the experience, they would become a Lt Cmdr and making regular exploration content too easy.
