I’ve seen some people in Discord complaining that they no longer receive faction contracts, some of them being new players. Today I have noticed this issue too, now that I have received the last faction contract 6 days ago. This is probably somehow related to the Great Subspace Storm we had last week (I’m referring to a partial downage of game servers, when noone was able to fly their ships) – looks like after rebooting the faction contracts have stopped.
It may be a timer issue, or some data required to generate a contract fails to be fetched. However, I believe this may badly affect newcomers, so it is important to investigate sooner rather than later.
