no missions to hutton?

Andovar · Oct 12, 2017

so given the new "distance from star" mechanic incorporated into mission payouts, I wanted to see what a mission to hutton orbital would payout.
Looked through several of the systems around alpha centuri, and not a single mission to hutton offered by anyone.

Has it been removed from the mix because the huge distance would bork the payout formula?
Or am I just unlucky because I didn't sacrifice 3 chickens and a rabbit to the RNG gods?

My mistake, mistook Hutton for Colonia.

Bad karma. Seen quite a lot of missions "for the mug" and listened to a CMDR flying to Hutton about 30 min ago for a mission. He was at Eravate, so at least there must be some.

Ah, my luck strikes again it seems.
So what's the average payout look like on these?

Asked the cmdr at Eravate - he can't tell how the average is, but they're as high as sightseeing missions - 2-4 million he said - he's quite new so no guarantee

just seen 2 in SOL, abraham lincoln. 3.5 mil or so

Didn't Frontier say they removed missions to there because new players were getting the missions and getting confused with the supercruise / hyperjump mechanics?

I got tons of them when I was in the area looking for Sirius missions, payouts were laughable for the time involved, rarely above a million for shipping 100+ tons of cargo to hutton orbital.

I get lots of missions to there. Pay varies a good bit but 3.5 to 5 mil isnt too uncommon at all. Sometimes I see a really good one and then temptation gets the better of me. SO I load up on missions to Hutton and make the trip then wishing I hadnt, lol Happens every time.

Last time, despite the excellent pay, I swore I would never go again. Thats probably an empty threat to myself.

Do you have an M-capable ship? You might be missing the Hutton runs if you're in a larger ship.

I take my large ship out there

Yes. My mission runner is a Python.
But even if I was in a large ship, I'd still expect some to show up, but be under the unavailable section with the "ship too large" warning.

oh well... I'm just going to stop looking. Pretty sure that's the best way to get them to show up.
