How does board flipping work?
So I use this all the time, just trying to get navy missions for imperials. If I were to just keep going from open to private back and forth would the missions be different everytime. I hope that how it works but I think how it works is that you basically get three mission boards vs one.

Best not to rely on it as they will likely get rid of this. They change every 20 minutes or so. And they added changes to make it less viable.

It will change with the coming update so that it is not viable I believe.

IIRC with the new system that is coming you won't be able to board flip but they will update more often.

I'm kind of looking forward to this change, but its going to be a tad frustrating because i used board flipping at the moment when all the missions for my faction are to Colonia.

I use board flipping, but to be honest I will be glad to see it go. I need it to be taken because I am too weak to give it up on my own. I try not to think about the time I have wasted board flipping when if I had just done the 1 mission I had, then done another afterwards I would probably make more Credits.

Take away the flipping I say! Well, maybe I will do it just once more, that can't hurt. I can give up tomorrow. Hmm, tomorrow is Friday, don't want to give up over the weekend, so maybe on Monday. By then its nearly the end of the month, so maybe...

Help, please do the update early, I can't stop flipping and I read somewhere it makes you go blind if you do it too much.

Nonono, thx do the help, not talking about the update which is months away, I'm talking about how it works right now

It will be gone soon enough and probably make my orca worthless by not being able to fill it up with good missions/people.

Yes just go solo to open and back the boards should change.

They change every 20 min. Yes diff boards for solo and open BUT there is a caching system they already added so don't be surprised if you don't see new ones when you flip.
