Prior to this weekend I had gotten up to a rating 3 mission available in the starter system.  Since Friday's patch, I have only seen rating 1.  The "Known Issues" thread says that only Level 1 system being available is intended, however it's unclear how the system and the mission ratings relate.  Is it also intended that now can only get rating 1 missions in a level 1 system?  That seems excessive, to have roughly 20 areas that you should be leveling out of after only a handful of missions.  It also means progressive is 100% stopped at the moment.
