Please add a filter option to the Mission Board that will allow us to only see missions available at our local station.

Yes, looking through 100+ missions just to find the one you want locally is quite annoying.

Could also make it the default setting, to reduce newbs' confusion.

This is important also for network traffic. The mission system causes a lot of superfluous data and many people reported network issues since the update that allowed for global missions. A local missions filter could solve many of these problems.

TheRedSpy, the easiest way to implement something like this is client-side, which wouldn't affect network traffic. Making it a character flag that affects what information they receive from the server would likely require more work and testing.

Yes draugath but that would not stop the slow loading mission list as is. For us with higher latency, loading missions is a double pain as opposed to you North Americans.

Latency shouldn't impact mission loading in any noticeable way; maybe the missions arrive a tenth of a second later than they do for people in the USA, no big deal. The complaints you guys have made sound more like issues with throughput.

Pizzasgood, I think his complaint about this is that missions affect his latency, not the other way around...

+1 to it being easier for newb to find missions suitable to their location/lvl.
