I know in this forum cmdrs like to pass on their achievements and knowledge gained from bitter experience.
Well I want to pass on knowledge I gained from my mistake.
Sometimes I enjoy hanging around the compromised navigation beacon at LTT 4487 to collect bounties and test new weapons and other modules in combat.
I go to Viktorenko Holdings to collect bounty vouchers from the interstellar factor there.
So I thought that maybe, if I had a good rep with the starport minor factions I might get the occasional juicy assassin job, or some other.
Now, it's a long time since I did courier missions to grind inital rep. But it always worked ok for me before. And they were always literally one jump away from the mission giver.
So when I see all these courier missions come up with no less than 3 minor factions, without reading the full details I snap them up. 6 in total.
It's only when I open the Galaxy Map from the mission tab that I realise that something is very wrong. I can't see the mission location tags.
That's because, my friend they are in Colonia.... .Yes. Colonia!!! 22,000 ly away.
And the best reward of any was only 1.2m Cr and rep++++++
I certainly wasn't going all the way to Colonia for a courier job.
I had to cancel all the missions and instead of improving my rep at the starport totally wrecked it.
So beware cmdrs. Always read all the mission details before you accept and don't assume courier missions are easy anymore.
