How to refresh mission board?
I need to get some modular terminals to unlock an engineer as far as i can tell they are only rewarded for missions. and no missions offer them , i read you can refresh mission boards by logging out or swapping between open/solo etc

But none of this works for me the missions stay the same ,is this old info that doesnt work now? and does that mean i just have to afk here for hours hoping to get a mission that has both the reward and is available to me?

thanks, so this refreshing thing, just doesnt work anymore?
I'm honestly not sure it ever did. It does seem like back in the day you could switch modes to refresh, however there is no hard data from fdev to back it up. (AFAIK)

Current timers are 10min mission boards, 1 hour system, 12 hour system, 24 hour system, and lastly the thursday tick update.
its 5 minutes actually. And its also not a full refresh, it simply fills up a few missions every 5 minutes when some where taken.
Mission boards updates at every tenth minute interval at the zero (they still do); when was this appended and if that is how it is i of course stand corrected. :D
Im very certain its every 5 minutes. Im getting new missions on the board when the clock shows 05, 10, 15, 20 etc...

Always check the All and the individual categories. There are different missions in each.

Don't forget passenger missions.

thanks all , 10 mins checks out the 5 min i didnt notice but wasnt looking so..

it can be hard getting answers to this sort of thing from searches over the years so much has changed or was simply apocryphal in the first place so appreciate the replies.

they have been my go to. transport just seems to be so much more faffing around, combat is for some reason seeding me against incredibly lethal ships i cant kill but passenger are by and large straightforward and drop you back at the start point ;)
