Hey everyone,
Just a quick post to let you know that we've made a few balancing tweaks this morning with regards to missions in the game. Many mission rewards have been increased, while passenger mission rewards are slightly decreased to create a better overall balance across the board. This balance is part of an on-going process and we will continue to make changes as required.
Additionally, we've fixed an issue whereby passenger missions will now award points toward the correct Elite rank.
Uhh...
That doesn't look sexy anymore. I understand some Missions paid surprisingly well for a 90-120mins roundtrip, but that seems a bit of an over-correction :

Hilarious payments as intended!yup, passenger missions are not right... I understand this is low rep with the faction that is offering it, and the distance is not far, but if folks wanted to raise said rep they sure as hell aint gonna do it with passenger missions

I just wanted to say that I just completed a round trip 5000LY mission that had over 2 weeks to its timer, unless you're saying the timers were bugged?Looks like you broke passenger missions while "fixing" them, because I'm pretty sure no-one is going to transport passengers for 31 consecutive hours of playing time just to get 10 mill at best. Hell, since passenger missions have a 1 week timer, you're basically asking us to play more than a full day during the week to travel these insane distances and if we actually do something this crazy, we get peanuts as payment.[wacko]
Uhh...

Nope, not gonna happen. Not for that payment. The super-longrange ones... *uhm* no way. I'd hardly consider these for 10x that payout.
I'd rather go mining in a Rocky or Icy belt, even these Missions pay more for a considerably lower time investment. Even Independent Mining in my local Pristine Metallic belt gives me far more bang for the buck.
(and I'm primarily not really looking at the Credits - I don't really need these - but mainly from a BGS work/effectiveness perspective)
What still seems okay upto quite good are the ShortRange Bulk PAX Missions, seeing some normal/unchanged ones there.

I hope you don't mind me borrowing your screenshot?
