What a time to be alive.
while that won't help with missions, bulk trade can make you 50-100 mio with a large trader (t9, cutter) consistently. add to that picking up fetch missions, and you are golden.take a look at this

If we say there are good missions... they will nerf them....
Therefore..... no good missions

Forget about cargo DELIVERY missions. Consider cargo FETCH missions and mining missions (buy instead of mine). I do these missions once in a while to top off my accounts. Last weekend, I earned 1B per account in 4 hr doing cargo FETCH and wing mining missions- total 3B for 3 accounts. And, when the factions are in boom, the number of wing cargo FETCH missions increases, increasing the profitability.
With mining missions for purchasable stuff, can you just buy it again then? I thought they had changed that ages ago, but you have piqued my interest!
LANI is offering good paying missions to 47 CETI .....
And that's nothing to sniff at !

Visor down on those delivery missions for me
In short...no, not really. Certainly not to get you the 100m/hr mark.
The nerf reduced mission rewards by around 50% on the pre price adjustment rewards. That reduction was too much IMO.
I'm sure there are some well paid haulage missions out there but not many in my neck of the woods so I'm ignoring them for the most part. Hopefully FD will adjust the numbers as it's created some other issues that I'm sure weren't intended.

Long ago, they fixed the missions so that cargo fetch missions no longer requested commodities that the mission giver's station sold. They were HIGHLY profitable because they took only seconds to complete but they were also utterly ridiculous!
On the other hand, mining missions of purchasable metals and minerals have never changed except for the obvious exception of metals and minerals that are sold at the station.
I've earned about 15B over the last year from wing mining and wing fetch missions of purchasable commodities as recently as 1B per account last weekend.
I regularly see 35M to 50M cargo missions for 180T to 320T of gold and silver. I regularly see 1000T to 1900T tritium missions capped at 50M. If the cap was gone, those missions would earn 100M to 200M. They should either remove the cap or reduce the max tonnage per tritium mission so that the missions aren't capped. Unless they fix that, tritium missions are worthless.

Tested it out myself the in Colonia other day, I don't normally do that sort of thing, this was in way of experimentation while I was waiting for something else and picked up around 5m for 5 minutes work with just a couple of missions, so I can't see any problem there, it certainly pays at least as much as exploration.

Not exactly what I was looking for, but thanks anyways for the suggestion... didn't do any commodity trading in a while, but it seems to be reasonably lucrative now.
Good old space trucking times...
Cool, thanks for the heads up on this, much appreciated.
