I checked out "Quince" yesterday to see what the fuss is about and sure enough you can make 50mil per hour doing surface scan missions no combat involved. It's also probably the best Empire rank grind and mindlessly boring. DO IT and join the mostly harmless cutter club. I hope this is of some help seems your google is broked.[where is it]
Edit- You need about 5mil for donation missions to open up the rep to get the missions or some exploration data.
What's actually involved in surface scan missions? I see them but I've never taken one yet. I assume it's "land, deploy SRV, go to [x], scan [x], return data"?
you'll see a "searchzone" on the planet, which you need to investigate from your ship till you find the surface installation, after that it's pretty much like you describe.
how do i get surface scan missions? do i have to be at a certain rank with the faction?

no special rank needed, you'll gain reputation by doing them, which will allow you to take the better paying ones.
the more serious problem is to find a system which is generating them costantly, quince does so for some very special reasons:
- quince is out of the bubble, so there are no other shortrange missions
- quince has only 1 landable, so all missions are generated for the same planet
- quince has a tourism/agricultural economy, but delivery missions aren't generated in a system
- quince generates no kill pirates, no salvage etc. pp. missions for its economy type.
etc.
there are very few other systems similar to quince.
when i went to quince some months ago (and found those missions and filed a ticket for exploit, as you can easily make 30 mio per run with stacked missions), i used passenger missions to the 2 local tourism beacons to get allied with all factions in no time... i just filled a cheap ship with all kind of cabins, and flew a minute to the beacons from jeffrie's high.
I am a pure trader and I do this one quite a bit. No matter what you do, trading is not the path to great wealth in this game. Sometimes there will be a great run; but that is the rare exception. If you enjoy trading, it is sufficient; however, if you are looking for fast, large, payouts, look into something other than trading.Not the most profitable, but easiest to spot are 'outbreaks'. Filter the map by system status and find any in outbreak. Hone it down to the faction concerned, their station will be in outbreak. Your next task is to find somewhere close that sells basic medicines. You can do this either by going to the outbreak and seeing from where they are imported, or a bit of a fly around, or a look on the data for 'main exports'. Typically basic medicines cost ₢200-₢300 and sell for upwards of ₢3,700 in an outbreak zone. Check out the markets for anything profitable on the return trip.When the outbreak ends, go to the next one.You'll be sort of like a highly mercenary Medcines Sans Frontiers.
