passengers

Hi guys, to unlock Proffesor Palin and Chloe Sedesi one of the prerequisites is to travel 5kly away from SOL, so I decided to go to Black Treasure, which is about 5200ly from SOL. To make the most of the journey i thought it would be a good idea to first find some passengers that wants to go...

I'm currently exploring in a throwaway Hauler, but looking to upgrade to run passengers or cargo short range. Currently, my two vessels of choice are the Dolphin and the ASP-X. I've prototyped a build for both ships and found the ASP-X (unsurprisingly) to be a superior ship in almost every...

Last weekend i was doing passenger missions when the game started loosing connection with the servers. For some reason all my passenger mission were erased but all the passengers are still on board. I cant get rid of them. I cant switch ships or sell the cabins. I cant play the game! Please...

Is there any particular reason why there are no one-way passengers? I was kind of expecting at some point that we's be able to put out ads as a transport with xyz cabins available - maybe specify a time of departure - and then next time you log in there are, or are not for some reason...

It seems like several attempts to encourage specializing of Saud Kruger ships as passenger ships have had lukewarm reception at best. I think it is mostly because these have been restrictive. My idea would be to use carrot rather than stick. Simply bump up the effective quality level of the...

Hello, I have a simple question. Is rescuing passengers from attack stations by Thargoids an efficient way to increase my Trade Rank? I just reached Tycoon rank a couple days ago, and the last hour I've been stacking rescue passenger missions in my new Type 9 but arn't seeing the bar increase.

I am just wondering if it is intended to work this way when mixing cabin classes. I had 4x 1st class with a capacity of 12 1x Bus. class with a capacity of 10 so a total of 58 capacity I see a mission for 54 economy class but i do not qualify, not enough room. As this was on my home base i...

I haven't seen a forum forum for passenger missions, but sightseeing is closely related to exploration so I am posting here. I took a passenger on a 3 sight tour. I jumped to the first location went to the beacon and I have scanned it but I haven't got a notification that this part of the...

I've finally spent some time running VIP missions and I have to say the presentation on information needs some work. Time left is not shown for VIP missions in the main transactions view; is this a bug? When we click through to the mission details, we have information in the wrong order...

Well now I need my own little whine thread and probably a break. I did a long range tourist mission (~25k ly). as all long range tourist, my passenger demanded not to be scannend. I´ve done a lot of those missions in the past and it never was a problem to get scanned once or even twice. This...

If my cargo ship can't get haulage missions then I can still buy stuff and sell it at a profit. If a miner can't get extraction missions it can still go out mining. Passenger ships could really do with an equivalent to these. My suggestion would be an ability to advertise tickets. Plot a course...

So a bit of the surrounding narrative: I worked for countless hours delivering cargo to make the credits to pay for the almighty Beluga Liner, which with a few tweaks i managed to get 45 ly range, fully loaded with type A modules. It only cost 240 mil. I then began my journey into the black...

Hello, For sometime I've thought that while paint degradation was largely an costemic thing there was one condition less-than-perfect paintwork would have an effect in the game, namely the ability to attract luxury passenger missions (or at least the higher paying ones). I recently tried to...

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...

There simply arent' enough demands from passengers. it makes me feel like i'm simply delivering a package. Passenger missions are a way to play the game and without more demands from the passengers. There really isn't anything special about passenger missions. They don't always have to ask for...

So, maybe it's just me, but I'd watched the sturm-und-drang associated with the removal of the long distance bonus applied to passenger missions a month or two ago. And I'd noted that "nerfing" was presented as a temporary change pending further rebalancing consideration. Well, apparently that...

What about negotiable fares for passengers? Allowing pilots to negotiate the fare with the faction or passengers would cause fares to be market-driven. This would avoid the excessive fares in certain systems, and raise the low fares everywhere else. Just like Hans Solo did in Mos Eisley on...

There's a problem with relative ship design and performance in Elite: Dangerous. Namely, the best cargo ships are not the ships -designed- to be the best cargo ships. Likewise, the best passenger ships are definitely not the ships -designed- to be the best passenger ships. That a Python is...

Need a clarification on how the passenger cabins work. Can you stuff passengers from multiple missions into the same cabin until it is full? Example: A class 6 economy cabin [allegedly] holds 32 people. Let us assume, I have one installed. A station has the following missions: transport 6...

This is a completely serious question. No newcomer can possibly EVER hope to compete now that passenger missions have been nerfed. Decent pay for an hour's trip is not unreasonable. 300k now. What pray tell, Should I buy with that. Hello? Oh wait, bounties.... no, can't afford to outfit a ship...

So ive been grinding the smeaton orbital run for about a week, and im starting to not be able to find passengers in neighboring systems at all. O'leary Vision was producing pretty well but last night i only got 2 groups going to smeaton after 5 resets! I even jumped to the planetary station in...

You *can* fit a 5A shield to your Beluga liner, but because all size 5 slots are *restricted*, you'd have to stick it into a size 6 slot. This single issue makes it pointless to buy the Beluga Liner, unless you want to baby business/first class customers. (I can't imagine NPC's as VIPs... NPC...

I accept that some time spent running missions that do little to support pilots' individual Mitty-esque narratives is a necessary evil for rank progression. But some minimization of mission board annoyance might go a long way for some of us. As it stands now, you can't accept a mission board...

Ok, this drives me absolutely crazy... Please, remove the "different destination" from passenger missions. It is absolutely infuriating to try to fill a ship with passengers going to the same area, then after an hour of gathering passengers to deliver, they all randomly decide they want to go...
