Posting here so everyone can enjoy the credit fest; here's an explanation for it from the one that discovered it:
I still think the egg was a better exploit, wasn't it ? I won't participate on this, bounty hunting is as fun as lucrative those days.
You can make 300 million credits per hour in an Imperial Cutter doing this. 200 million credits in a Python. I just made 400 million credits in an hour which is exceptional. I have been doing this for months and it has always been this lucrative - people were just always on the mining circlejerk and paid no heed. The missions you want are the 80-180T ones to Electra, and I you not these m*** are offered for 10-35 million credits a pop. Sometimes more. That can equate to over 100 million credits in 10 minutes in a Cutter. The board refreshes every 15 minutes. Do the math on that. This is the most lucrative exploit ever in Elite.
