Help with mission board (resolved, see knighttemplar1960 for solution)

[GalacticJessi]

I'm sixty hours in and still cannot take missions from the mission board. I have progressed the main story to the point where Artemis asks you to raise your standing with the species, and my mission prompt takes me to the mission agent, but when I talk to it the dialogue says "he has nothing more to say to you."

Resolution - talking to lifeforms during "the 16" quest locks their dialogue out, go to a new system station and use the mission agent there.

you have to increase your standing with that faction. you'll occasionally find npc's that want you to do something for them. do them.

hunt pirates in that factions systems.

correctly answer monoliths in that factions systems.

Solve problems at Manufacturing Facilities, Plaques, Ruins, Monoliths and Operations Centers.
Also rescuing freighters,gift giving, and collecting Research Specimens will raise your reputation.

Does the text say, "The life form looks at me, traces of fear and surprise behind their eyes. It is clear that they have nothing more to say to me"?

If that is the case the mission agent was one of the people you talked to when you were doing the "16" quest. None of the life forms that you talk to during the "16" quest will talk to you after you have completed that quest. That can be unfortunate if you talked to the mission board life form or any of the other vendors during the "16" quest. In that case you'll have to go to a different space station to talk to a mission agent.

This sucks I did that in my home system and I do a face-palm every time I try to shop there.

Same here. I just work around it. Maybe his boss will fire him for not doing his job in the next update.

You need to go to the mission board next door (to your left as you're facing the mission agent) and take missions specific to that guild. You will need to take and complete three missions for each guild. Don't turn in the missions for that guild until you're prompted to. So if you're at the Korvax station you need three Explorers guild missions done. etc...

I looked up "the 16 quest" and as far as I can tell, that quest occurs after the mission I'm currently on. So, is the mission agent locked until after the 16 quest? Or is there another 16 quest other than the one that takes you talk to atlas? At this point I have just started looking for Artemis, and I have not met a character named atlas yet, but during the 16 quest you "talk to atlas again"

I cannot access guild quests until AFTER speaking to the mission listing agent

Went to a new system, was able to use the agent there. Thanks for the help

What quest were you talking about? Name? Link? Because, as the OP stated, there's only a "16 / 16" quest, and that's quite a bit after the point he was (and I am) stuck at.

That is of course just a workaround and not a bug fix. Yes, I consider this a bug since I don't see *ANY* reason for the behavior.
