I'm still seeing lots of high paying tourist missions at my local haunt (sorry, don't remember system name, but it's a tourist system close to Deciat). The trouble is that they are all locked until I have developed a friendly relationship with the faction, and ranking missions are few and far between.
It doesn't help either that, on one mission that WAS available to me, the passenger got extremely uppity when we were scanned and ended up throwing a hissy fit and ejecting himself. After I'd flow 150ly for him too.
Come to think of it - when do you EVER in real life get to fly somewhere and then pay the airline afterwards only if you're satisfied ??

The Sightseeing missions were the ones worth doing before. You could make up to 7 million for just one mission, and if you had a fully upgraded FSD like I do (46Ly range) it didn't take much time to complete, provided all the beacons were there and not missing due to that bug.
Now those missions pay a max of maybe 1.5 million if you are lucky, with most paying a couple hundred grand. This is what I am seeing at Solo Orbiter in Altair where I am allied with every single faction. Those high dollar missions you are seeing are probably trips out to Colonia or similar distances (25k Ly +) that previously paid 35-50 million, and now pay maybe 6-8 million.
Well I did that for you
Finally it was fun running missions again for a short while, if even being a bus driver instead of a trucker now its back to the nerfed runs "boom" missions of 3k if we're lucky.

Thanks guys!
Wanted to post back here on some positive observations on this based on my ED session a few hours ago.
It looks like FD has actually done some noticeable changes to Passenger Missions tonight. Unlike the day this thread started and we all commented, now I am seeing many Sightseeing missions that are once again paying similar amounts to the pre-nerf versions!
I just accepted a three drop Sightseeing mission that will pay 5.6 Million CR and the distances are not bad at all. The passenger is also a normal type of fair. No wanted ratings etc.
Like my observations yesterday, I am pulling missions from Solo Orbiter in the Altair System where I am Allied with all the factions at that station.
Check out your usual station mission boards and see if you guys see the same improvements! I started noticing these higher payouts towards the end of my session a few hours ago now. Hopefully when I come back up for my evening session, these higher payouts will still be there!
