I'm really not a fan of the redirect missions. I accept a mission and fill the rest of my cargo hold with a money maker for the original destination. Blue text pops up and says to go two hops in the other direction for a whopping 50k bonus. I still have to go to the original destination to drop off the supplemental cargo so it doubles the work for the same reward. Please get rid of these 'events' or at least make the bonus something worthwhile.

I'm sure they will/are working on getting these bonuses to a better state, as well as the timed bonus missions. I'd also like a bit of a heads up- something in the mission description letting you know that "mission is subject to change", I would rather the destination change actually be optional to receive a bonus, but I would be okay with FD just letting me know the mission destination could change.
"Never have an empty cargo hold" is supposed to be a safe maxim. Certainly complicates the cost/effect analysis if you see good, cheap commodities at the starport you're redirected to but have to sell your stuff at a loss to make room in your hold. The missions do pay a lot better now though than regular trading, for the most part.
