A Major deterrent for me to attack these things is the chump change that is given to you. (ok if you were at the stage of a Viper, not in corvettes and cutters...)
Considering the amount of time it takes to kill one (solo). the time: payout ratio is far less than most missions and bounty hunting. for 1 hour of killing thargoids you may get 6-8M. 1 hour in a conflict zone with mission you can get around 20-25M +2M in combat bonds (which is actually a pay worth my time). trade missions I can get between 10-20M per hour. (tycoon rank I better do! )
The Payout should more be tailored towards a Risk= reward factor. if I use a ship with a 25M rebuy and nearly loose it over a possible 2M gain it does not add up... perhaps payouts should be based on rebuy costs of ships, half of is a good start.
In wings, you take a reward of half the lowest ships cost.
Just for some consideration
Take Care out there!
