Cargo and passenger missions are dreadfully dull, with absolutely nothing to do than jump, supercruise, fuel scoop, and occasionally fight off an incredibly easy interdiction.
This is certainly not reflective of how dangerous it can be to drive logistics and transport in reality, especially...
I personally feel when it comes to missions, you should get some sort of bonus money based on how valuable your ship is, like first, the initial price of the mission, Plus an extra 50% Rebuy cost money added.
The more expensive your ship is the more money you will make through doing missions...
Star systems and stations that have been attacked have lots of nice decoration and atmosphere.
In addition, they offer missions that are directly attached to this that are both cool and profitable, awarding credits, materials, reputation and data.
However, systems that are about to be attacked...
As there appears to be a problem in the amount of credits earned in missions with multi-crew and wings how about when in a wing or multi-crew when accepting or upon completing (Up for debate) you get a window like in GTA's heist. Where you can send percentages / amounts per member of the wing /...
Hello FDevs! I wanted to make plotting suggestions regarding certain missions and emergency response RNG tool. As an FYI I currently play this game on PS4.
Currently once we accept a mission there is a convenient button in the Transaction Tab in the mission description that takes us to the...
o7 commanders,
this info might be of interest for commanders who are seeking out Thargoids and don't find any...
I'm currently at the rescue ship at Sturckow Port in the SPOCS 253 system. In the mission screen there, sometimes Thargoid hunting missions are available. Sadly the rescue ship is...
Hello all,
As a bounty hunter it's a pleasure to me shooting NPCs, looking to get these condas wrecked, cashing in large amounts of money and trying to get better at what I like most: ruining the day of a criminal.
Recently, however, I jumped into my AspX (armed with 4x lightweight plasma...
I wish we had a reason to perform the passenger rescue missions.
Imagine, we had a week to complete, if we don't get all the passengers off by the time the Thu cycle ends..... the station is either destroyed or requires double the materials to repair.
If we complete and get all the passengers...
1. An asteroid is in path to collide with an inhabited planet. Your mission is to find the asteroid and divert the path from collision.
2. Due an accident a mining team has been stranded on an asteroid. Your job is to find their beacon and rescue them before they run out of supplies and air...
Hello,
I have been playing Elite Dangerous on the Xbox One for a few days now and have come across a situation where I am unable to hand in a completed mission to claim the reward...
The mission was one that was offered to me via the email when I was in space rather than one that I accepted at...
Participating in the CG this week at Ross 310? Our wing is there fighting alongside the Natural Services faction in the Mobius private group. We're night owls, so we're usually on in the wee hours. Our wing is Snow Crash and can be found on both INARA and in the Xbone Clubs. Hope to see you...
Good Day everyone,
i have been doing a lot of passanger transport lately and i was never quite happy with how i did that.
I love the idea and i understand why you can't go full on sim mode on that subject.
So i started thinking about how i would make it better. And i think i came up with a...
Elite Dangerous' update cycle and game balance is one of the most neurotic in gaming. They either fail to notice a glitch that causes extremely unbalanced payouts/exploitable payouts, or otherwise take a new fun, rewarding and enjoyable game mechanic and nerf it until it's no longer fun or...
Please remove all squad from solo mode from mission list.
Squad too bad math.

Hi Cmdrs
Two issues I'm having , frontier store (via Xbox interface) shows 500 points, put 400 points of merch in basket, when I click to purchase using frontier points , nothing happens.
On a different issue, my ram tahh(Can't be bothered to look up spelling) mission disappeared after 2 days...
BACKGROUND:
When a player has a delivery mission and hyperspace jumps into the destination solar system, there is a random chance that the player will be offered an optional additional reward for delivering the cargo or data within a certain amount of time. This amount of time seems to be 2...
I've noticed that the Mission Boards are getting awfully clogged with "wing" missions. In close to a year and a half of playing, I've only winged-up once and that was for a Fuel Rat. I can't even get another player to spare 30 seconds to confirm an in-game bug I've been trying to report.
I...
I have enough of this nerf meta from FDev.. really, I'm just tired about this. AND I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so.
SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE, NOW!!!
The only answer to all "unplanned" things can't be to just put out the nerf hammer.
We need real solutions!
Listen, ALL ways...
Firstly, you don't have to explain to me how to rank up or how and from whom to expect / find the navy rank-up mission.
I'm well beyond 100%, so its not a rounded up 100% on the display either.
I've never had any issue getting the rank-up mission within a short time after passing 100% from an...
Hello, I would like to have some tips and info on how to earn some good money.
I have been doing trades, and then passengers mission, but it doesn't get me much money everyday.
Thank you to answers.
First, please give us a reason to fight the Thargoids. I have been fighting Thargoid scouts in a Chiefain (non-AX weapons) and it is a lot of fun (which is its own intrinsic reward and currently the only reward). I have been doing this in a system overrun with Thargoids with a still-function...
Just tossing out some suggestions to revamp payouts and add depth to different career pathways.
Trade Bonuses
Consistent, quick deliveries yields a small bonus for reliability, potential for scaling based on local rep and level of danger. A players "reliability" could be tracked on the...
Please remove wing missions from the mission boards when in solo play. For two very important reasons.
1) Its solo play!
2) You replaced a big part of the reputation building missions and solo missions with wing missions. Now trying to build rep is even more of a grind than it already was...
Greetings,
before i start i want to say, that what iam writing here is not based on facts, its just how i see these things and how i personally think it might help. So i could be totally wrong with everything what iam writing here and in that case i appreciate any feedback.
Topic - Why did i...
I’m not sure I’d this is a bug or getting use to the new rewards. I’m 80% from exploration elite and wanted to finish it up running exploration-based passenger missions. Yesterday, I turned in about 20M worth of data and went up only 1%. That seems excessively low contribution. I don’t know if...
Me and my wingmates are constantly getting an infinite "Standy By" when opening the mission board. Only way to fix it (that we found so far) is relogging, but therefore loosing our wing mission. We lost alot of resources and money because of it already. Anybody else familiar with this? And is...
Hi.
Most of the time I (and I think most of the players) have a place where I want to go, and I choose my missions according to the next systems I will be in. So I can earn some credits while going my way.
Unfortunately, it's currently a pain in the to do so, as I have to check every...
Since the addition of stored modules, I believe it would be nice to have Ship's Role Presets.
Have the items you have stored in a station in a set of config preset slots. A copy of your ships module slots, that you as the pilot, designate what item is in that slot for that preset config...
For a little background: I’m fairly new at ED with around 20 hours play time. Earlier tonight, I took a mission to deliver Boom Data to one system, then in route, a mission update came thru that changed the destination to Poppers Keep in the Hollatja system. A planetary outpost on Hollatja 2. No...
I think it would be very helpful to have a mission filter that showed only missions that share the same destination as missions you have already accepted. For example, say I have a mission to deliver goods to M.GORBACHEV in the Sol system, with this new filter selected from the drop down menu...
My method currently is to scan nav beacon/fly to target interstellar body/orbit up, down and around until MRSS pops. Sometimes this takes seconds or many many minutes. In some circumstances I just give up fly away, go do something else for a few hours, fly back and boom the MRSS pops instantly...
As of right now it seems pretty random how these things spawn. My method is to scan nav beacon, super cruise close to planet/moon/star and orbit around in till it pops. This can takes seconds, sometimes many... many minutes. Heck, sometimes I never find it and just give up.
I love the profits...
So I've been searching the net high and low and it has been an mixed bag of answers. I'm currently trying to gain ranks with the Federation so to some of you tired veterans it might be a dumb set of questions. I'm currently at 100% so i'm just waiting for the mission [Yes i'm aware its round up...
Mission - Far Rescue

The main goal: to save a certain person or group of people outside the inhabited bubble.
Fly to the right system. Look for the desired signal in space or on the surface of planets. Destroy possible threats. Load rescue capsules. Return.

Could making passenger missions that are similar to sightseeing missions, but instead of coming back to origin station, we take them to a different system. Example pick up passengers in Xi Saon travel 3 or 4 sights then drop off at Sol the whole trip equal to 200lys for 20mil credits. Missions...
Well I am an Xbox CMDR and I’m getting a little sick of reading about Beta woes and Engineer saltiness and general whinging so I figured I’d come offer up some alternative discussion. Here are two new ideas for mission types that would require very little effort to implement but, in my opinion...

I understand that FD are full of work with developing of the game, and making onetime quests is a bit pointless for them. And i get a pretty good idea when i was on the break from elite and playing space rangers 2. There was some pretty nice text quests which really felt immersive for the game...
Hi there,
