[Mechac69]

Steam installed the new content fine with no issues is seems.

I log into my save game where I finished the story line. I was traveling through Davion space recently.

If you are using a save where you have completed the campaign story, Flashpoints will start to pop up on the Star Map as soon as you start moving around.

If you are starting a new Career Mode game, Flashpoints will start to pop up after about 6 months of game time.

If you are starting a new Single Player Campaign, Flashpoints will NOT show up until the Campaign has been completed.

Once you start moving around, you should see a message pop up in the Argo screen about new Flashpoints popping up. Then, when you go to your Navigation menu and look at the Star Map, they will start to show up as orange circles around a planet that has an active Flashpoint.

Helps to have factions love you, I believe some of them are restricted to people certain factions like (or at least, don't hate).

Do flashpoint rewards vary based on your reputation with the faction in question?

That is an excellent question. I haven't noticed if, but it might explain why I get "meh" salvage when I take on a Flashpoint from a faction that doesn't like me.

Did you mean weeks? I'm only 3 months into a career mode and I can tell you that the first flashpoint can pop up very, very early. I've already had a second one pop up, but I'm nowhere near confident enough yet since this an ironman save and I'm still trying to get some decent mediums.

Meant to say within 6 months. But yeah. The first flashpoint in Career mode comes pretty quickly. It might actually be mission based (after X missions) than time based.
