The Return of 1k Delivery Missions

Well at least it's been confirmed it's being looked into. Honestly it more than likely won't help me at all if they fix it to the levels they were in beta cause it was still pretty poor pickings for smuggling missions. We'll see if I have a career once a fix comes (and if I can get my main account to actually download)
 
Rumour has it that exploration payouts have also been nerfed. Like they really needed to be (I got just 70M for a 300,000 Lightyear round trip of the galaxy which took 3 months). I then made 320M at Morai in the last 4 hours of the CG!
That CG was just plain stupid. While that was up I arrived at Jaques and got 10 Million for data and another 55M for around 20 hours in-game participation in the exploration CG. People complaining about biowaste runs getting the chop just get my sodium levels up from the spill.
 
Do you mean Sothis/Ceos or all hauling missions going to be somewhat reduced.

I work out of Kamadhenu and I personally feel the rewards were pretty spot on before 2.2.

A simple fix would be to adjust the mission rewards so that they don't go up linearly with distance. Make medium-range missions (100-150LY) be the best cr/hour earners, short range missions lower-priced but much shorter, and long-range missions of the likes of Sothis be good for burst income.

Short range missions were all I was really doing. Before 2.2 they were fair, not paying incredibly well but enough to make a decent living off of without too much trouble. They've gone up and down in pay with every update since 1.3 but more or less were at a decent level all around the bubble until now. Honestly if I had my way. I'd put it back to they mission system of 2.0 and have the payouts from 2.1 within the bubble, nerf Sothis and the like to quiet everyone complaining about it and bring back shadow delivery missions.

Unfortunately, Frontier cannot into balance passes.
 
It won't go back to its previous levels.

Isn't it supposed to be lucrative like Sothis etc the further out into the frontier you get? I thought the "gold rush" part of Elite was supposed to exist - creating long distance jobs that paid very well. The game needs it.

Where is the new gold rush?
 
Yep, I see the same thing!. I am allied with factions and the credits offered will not pay. Lots of 5k to 40k credit mission, but this has changed from the 100k missions prior to 2.2. The admins have screwed up again. Just saying! ED will loses players and the cred of the game. I would not recommend this game if this continues. Trading is a joke now and has no value. Guess to game was set up for those with high credits only and will continue to play. ARRRRGGGGG.
 
I cleared my save yesterday for the first time since the Beta wipe. I decided that this was a good time to start fresh and climb my way back to the top. I played for 4 hours straight last night and have 39k CR in the bank and 59K in total assets(D class PowerPlant/FSD/Thrusters/PowerDistributor). Now, I know that the pay will increase with rank/rep but for new players that are just starting in the game, they are going to get really frustrated with the current payouts. I read in this thread that this is being looked into and that this happened with the 2.1 release as well but I just wanted to voice my opinion that this is not good for new Cmdrs. I hope this is just a bug and pay will go back to what it was. I will say that I am having a blast being back in the Sidewinder and building up rep/rank. Other than the mission payouts, this is a fine update and I am excited to be starting fresh in this wonderful Galaxy.

See you out in the black Cmdrs 07
=AVG=Boomer

In December 2014, we started with only 100CR and in 4 hours, had no where near 59K in assests, (at least I didn't anyway), unless another Cmdr was kind enough to drop you some Gold and/or Palladium. So my point is, hopefully it will not go that far back!

There's an issue with delivery mission rewards that is being investigated.
