So, I go to send a companion on a crafting mission only to see that grades 7 - 11 are unavailable, even though my skill is maxed out. I have to log out to get it reset, though it can become inaccessible again at any time, forcing another relog.
Another annoyance, those less important, if I want to run say a Grade 5 mission, I click Grade 5 in the dropdown box on the Missions panel and run the mission. The dropdown box will stay say Grade 5, though the list of missions has actually defaulted back to Grade 11.
