They don't pay enough for the time investment.
An Open Letter to FD Regarding Odyssey Mission Payouts

On topic: Yea the pay is meh for the time involved.

Phase 1 Make missions work
Phase 2 Demand equal pay
I don't care what they pay while they're so random in whether they even work

Open Letter my old friend.
I've come to read you all again.
The mission payouts are appalling.
The time and effort not rewarding.
And the influence \ reputation \ payout \ materials (delete as appropriate) that was planted in my brain.
Still remains.

By the way OP, I agree.

Doubt they will listen. When I suggested that some of us already flew hundred million-credit space ships and had little incentive to pick up a gun and be a grunt I was accused by certain people that I was being "too good" for this game.
Frontier listens to and enables those who mock people who question their bizarre design decisions, not Open Letters.
Hilariously, they are making it very clear that Nicholas Cage was right in Lord of War: The cardinal rule of gun-running is to never pick up a gun and join the customers. Seriously, arming yourself with one gun in this game is more expensive than buying a ton of it for smuggling.

Yeah, I'm just saying that killing 10 scavengers takes more time that 160k Cr is worth.
Still enjoy the pew, I would just like to be paid more for it.
Didn’t do that yet as war is much more rewarding financially, however yeah some adjustments is probably needed, but please don’t touch war, that’s good right now.
Yeah, handing in missions is fairly broken. Also, why do the mission timers need to be so punitive and some of them seem to include returning to the contact (i.e. they don't stop when you complete the mission)?

Especially the ones that involve travelling 22,000LY for less than 200k!

That's a whole different open letter...
You can never have enough open letters!
It is impossible to balance the credit rewards and stuff for on foot. You increase mission payouts, you would need to increase cost of on foot equipment. If you do that, people will complain about it not being consistent, in that the guns cost more than some ships. The only solution would have been implementing a new currency for on foot stuff. Everyone starts at the same point, no going in buying all the equipment with our billions of credits, and mission pay-out balancing would be fairly easy to do.
Right now a Pistol costs more than a sidewinder ...

This isn't an open letter. It's a post-it note stuck on the door of the fridge in FDevs canteen....
