No missions spawning even close to me

[Martell]

Playing career mode, I am waiting since several ingame weeks for any mission to spawn in under 10km distance - but there is nothing I can do so far. Mostly fire messages for some distant bases.
Is this also intended, like so many other ridiculous stuff in this game?
Or just another unfixed bug?

Why are you waiting for a mission to spawn within 10 km? 30 km is a 10 minute trip at 50 m/s, so if it's a travel time thing just build a faster vehicle. I use a small dock spawnable, low-tech tricopter that I built specifically with early classic career in mind. I do need to gather a few crates to get the research points for navigation, props and doors, but it doesn't take very long.

Yes, in the new career mode post release, missions spawn literally all over the place often more than 15-20km away, and I refuse to risk my playtime on a meager $3-$6k reward (plus any crates) right off the bat at least. That and I'm lazy, and unless I'm doing a high profit trade run or wishing to reveal more of the map for oil buy/sell locations, I rather stick to the typical rescue idiots from burning boat missions that are < 5-20km away, with the exception of push car into town or find downed plane/pilot, because those require an aircraft often to get to, and usually I don't crash too much/reloading trying to get there. 😁

My solution is to play in Classic Career mode where I often have dozens of missions pop-up within 2-5km before requiring a fast travel boat/aircraft for farther missions. And I enjoy playing with minimum tech and researching to unlock more. Normal career mode feels boring since the only motivation is make more money requiring basically one good boat that you max out from day 1 since all parts are unlocked.

Also, a fast main do-it-all-rescue boat means more fuel burnt which means less profits and, did I say, I'm lazy. Not always but often.

Are you kidding me? The fastest ship I have travels at 20m/s and has enough fuel for 20km, maximum.
I don't have helicopter technology or workbenches. That's why I need missions in my vicinity!
Also, I don't want to spend 95% of my playtime travelling

I am playing classic career, because this is the only purposeful game mode.

But there are no missions in a reachable distance anymore.
