Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't appear to be a way to get new paid missions after you've completed all of the paid ones aside from letting their clocks run down. Yes, you can play them again and collect goods to sell, but unless there's an easy source for titanium, platinum or gold, it doesn't pay to do that. There have been multiple times when I finish the missions on the board and decide to simply stop playing, not because I'm not enjoying it, but because there're no new missions.

It would be great if there were an option to get new missions.

Aside from reducing your debt, I see no advantage for the missions with payoff, since the pay off goes to your debt

Then I must really be missing something. I thought the ultimate goal of the game was to pay off your ship and the repeating of missions simply a way to afford the equipment to more easily accomplish that goal. If getting spending money is the only goal, that is easily, if occasionally slowly, accomplished.

I'm very much hoping that there will be more story or world building after your ship is paid off, especially since it's going to take many, many missions to do that.

The game isn't yet complete as far as I can tell, and while paying off your ship I think will be important, that doesn't mean that spending money isn't very useful. Also, note that the spending money cannot be (as far as I know) used on your debt

We really hope we will be able to have more stuff once you've paid off your debt. At the moment we are pretty much broke, though, so unless the game sells better on iOS / Mac app store it is unlikely we will be able to get that out soon.

The theory was that by having the limits we extended the amount of time you enjoyed it... But we've heard this feedback from a couple of places, so I think we will add the option to replace missions you've completed with new ones.
