Yeah but, where'd you find the massacre mission?
All I can find on the mission board at Ohm City is data-delivery missions and wing-missions.
The nerf was overnerfed, as usual

I don't know exactly what was not "working as intended" with the missions mentioned in the OP, but what we have here seems to be the following:
1. Skimmer missions paying a little bit too much (?), but apart from this they basically seem to work, and a lot of players are having a good time doing them.
2. New pirate lord wing missions with high level NPCs flying nicely engineered ships. Great idea, fun to do them, but alas, currently they are a complete bugfest, sometimes on the verge of being unplayable. Wings falling apart due to CTDs, wingmates losing their not yet claimed rewards because of it (or for some other reason), mission signal sources appearing unpredictably where they shouldn't, CMDRs being unable to drop into their wingmate's low wake, already completed missions reactivating themselves before you can claim the reward, so you have to kill again the NPC you killed five minutes ago, and so on.
Guess which one is gonna be fixed first by FDev.
Priorities, you know.

About 30 minutes ago the mission board in Ohm City was full of massacre missions.
Edit: Probably because I was looking for pirate lord missions.

Why let the fact we don't actually know anything stop us - surely better to get a jump in the whinging now?
Or they will be fixed instead of broken as they were according to FDev.
The mining stuff had to go offline, there's obviously something wrong with the reward system in them.
The VolleyBoom missions I'm not so sure about.. I am very surprised they cannot tweak this kind of thing at server level, rather than having to take them off-line. The only real problem was the amounts per mission.
It was very welcome though while it lasted
New kitted Annie, new Courier, new Cheef.

Resisting the temptation is challenging...if Id known then what is becoming depressingly apparent now?
hmm...less said bout that the better methinks ^
The outcome of all this is that you have to do a lot of repetitive stuff for little payment.
That does not make it exciting, if fact it is the opposite, it puts people off.
Now some wil say the point of teh game isn't to make money.
That maybe true, but it is also true you have make money to buy ships and weapons.
FD seem to be obsessed with nerfing stuff and reducing payment.
Why not have payouts for 30, 50 or 80 million.
As long as you make the missions dangerous, a challenge and not a drag what is wrong with that?
Make it that only higher ranked groups can take the missions, so you would still have to earn your stripes, so to speak.
At the movement it is just more of the old same for less and less payouts

1.5m for the mission......plus how much for the bounty on those pirates, hmm?
The problem was that you could hover over a single location, in your ship, & knock off heaps of skimmers......allowing you to claim 100m credits for zero effort. I'd say that this constitutes as "broken". Same with mining missions rewarding you for mining a mineral by handing over more of that same mineral than you gave them in the first place. Again, broken.
The Great Colonia Gold Rush. Gold (or insert other rare expensive commodity) has been discovered in abundance in a system close to Colonia. There's a trade rush, missions rush, lucrative opportunities for all. People paying big money to be ferried there, to move raw materials and of course mining, both the need for equipment and opportunities for miners. And for pirates, but also for bounty hunters and hired security to protect the new trade route.
Basically you can make millions if you are willing to travel and get involved. At the same time increasing the Colonia systems growth and expansion.
You mean those those 20k LY, 3 week missions?
Does anyone do them because I don't have the time
But with big, correction, BIG....no BIGGER. Rewards, let them get justifiably huge payouts for some effort getting there and continued big payouts for doing normal missions whilst there all financed by the nouveau riche locals. People throwing money around like it's going out of fashion because they can. Bubbles though can burst, but they can also expand.
Few wanted to trek all the way across the USA until they found gold in California.

There is no rule - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/no-genuine-rule-dictates-the-use-of-less-or-fewer-cs25kv8s5
It was something invented in 1770 by Robert Baker based on his personal preference only and was never mentioned or used prior to him unilaterally declaring it a rule. Robert Baker opined that fewer might be more elegant and proper. Almost every usage writer since Baker has followed Baker's lead, and generations of English teachers have swelled the chorus. The result seems to be a fairly large number of people who now believe less used of countables to be wrong.
Repped. I hate 18th Century grammarians and the (mistaken) pedants who love them.
