Anyone else enjoying the bulk cargo missions?

I will like them a lot more when the bug on the Xbox version that prevents me from handing anything in gets fixed.

Tried it for the first time yesterday... Had a full wing and only one of us was able to turn in a contribution even though we all had cargo to contribute.

It's as if the game couldn't see our cargo...

Other than that, everything else seems to be okay. Except my player factions home system has lost a has rez, but at least we still have the other. I would love this to get fixed, but will ignore it under the assumption of it being a dynamic galaxy.
 
Man alive I am so happy! My new Type-9 which I bought and prepared for the 3.0 release, the Spice Rhino is doing some wing missions out of the Ethgreze system in Alliance space. These new wing delivery missions are so much better than the old missions where you’d be dropping off 100 tons here, 180 tons there, etc. Thanks Frontier for making haulage a lot more fun.

Funny thing is I am not going to be doing a lot of haulage today because, guardians. I had to give it a go though before heading out into the black looking for those relics!
 
I'm actually enjoying them, my T9 is actually getting a workout for a change.

I just asked about those in another thread. I was in solo wondering how you do a "wing" in solo but as it turns out, you can still do them - it's just a lot of shuttling back and forth until you're finished with it. I'll try one later today when I log back on.

BTW, I sold my Type 9 for a Type 10 but that's sitting in Founders World waiting for me to earn millions of credits so I can properly outfit the thing. Tried a mission in it and got ganked. It's "capable" but needs more power here and there. As I make more credits, I bounce back to FW and put another thing in it, pat it on the head, and will come back later with more. Until then, I can use the anaconda for huge and dangerous cargo runs.
 
The T10 was the better ship until the T9 got a buff in 3.0. With the extra c8 internal module it can carry almost the same as a Cutter.
 
Not yet... too busy sifting through alien dust right now. It's on my list of things to do, as is a good mining run. 640 tons of limpets took me 3 days to mine away in the Beta, but to be fair, I was moving at a considerably slower pace, as I had much to document in the process. Still should be a good day's worth of mining though.
 
I am loving them in my T-9. . . so I am sure it is just a countdown until they get nerfed

As long as they last, I am enjoying them.
 
Is anyone else noticing the change in payouts for solo hauling missions though? I used to get bulk trade missions ranging from 2 mil all the way up to the occasional 9 mil. Now I can’t seem to find any over 3 or 4 and the wing missions are the 2-9 million range. Only problem is now it takes 3-5 trips to solo the wing mission. Did solo take a hit to make people do wings?

No, it is the same as it has always been, you have to hunt around for high paying jobs, monitor things like system state.

Currently doing a mix of wing long range haulage and solo missions. Averaging about 6-9 million per solo mission (up to 140 tonnes per mission) 736 tonne capacity is really helping :) The material rewards are also very good.

Yep love them!

its not about the payout, I like seeing the completion bar zoom up, these could be renamed T-9 missions rather than Wing.

Hopefully they will tweak for some hardcore ones where the amount transferred would be equivalent to 10 or 20 T9’s worth.

Blimey I am a sucker for punishment! ;-)
 
Just got one wanted me to deliver 3k of basic meds 235lys for 4 million, needless to say I didn't take it as the time to complete it would have been several hours I think.

Thanks! It must just be my system then. Call me greedy but I do wish the payouts would be what they were in the first 3.0 beta revision. You could get 2100 ton wing trade missions rewarding anywhere from 17-43 million credits.
