Justification
This quality of life change would not affect the economy nor the balance. It will just save some time and reduces frustration and time you are not playing.
Motivation
I have seen it working on another server and it is just awesome. It reduces the annoying search for the correct target in the correct direction.
Proposal
When you want to accept a mission, right now the direction is random. There is a possibility to remove the rng and add the direction of the player. For example: If the player is looking towards west, only missions to the west would be displayed.
More love for Missions!

Ya but the proposal is that it will only give you missions of the direction you are looking at. So you look west and all missions are west.

There is code out there where you can radial dial the terminal and choose which direction you want your missions.
This would probably be a lot easier to implement.

Be nice if this was skilled tied, not just thrown out there. But it would probably add a qol for the server itself regardless. We all just keep refreshing until the RNG serves up what we want anyway. Creating all those potential missions must add some degree of database overhead.

I could see the direction you’re facing having some drawbacks to players not used to such a mechanic and thinking it’s a bug. However I could see (like mentioned above) an option to choose a direction in the menu when searching for missions.
