So ive been grinding the smeaton orbital run for about a week, and im starting to not be able to find passengers in neighboring systems at all. O'leary Vision was producing pretty well but last night i only got 2 groups going to smeaton after 5 resets! I even jumped to the planetary station in the LTT 9455 system and still couldnt get anyone, has anyone else had this problem?
Cant get passengers for smeaton

- grind passenger passengers run
Perhaps Smeaton’s living quarters are all at max capacity? Or it’s not as special a place to go visit anymore?
Honestly I have no Idea, but in the past when I did similar trade grinds or mission stack grinds, after a while the well does seem to dry up a bit and I’m forced to move on.

Im in denial! lol, its just too damn good of a run to end now! Ive made 2bil in a week on this run! Im not ready to say goodbye!
Did you say 2billion?
I am using an Anaconda which requires a Large landing pad and White Mines does not provide one of those. But thank you for the suggestion, however the last time i was in 876-26 i came across a system bulletin saying the system stations were in partial lockdown due to unmarked ships occupying space around the white mines station and as a result i was unable to get anymore passengers, and that was just 2 days ago, do you know if the lockdown has been lifted?
yes i did
I was just did this run last night and filled up my Beluga with PAX and data missions to Smeaton in 15/20 min.
If you this is what you do all day for a couple of days. Yes. I know someone on here that made 18 billion in less then a month of doing this run.

exactly, im just stockpiling funds so i can afford to buy and ships and outfit it however i want for the foreseeable future.
I did my runs like one week ago, situation must have changed then, it was straight forward, but in a python oufitted for that purpose
I don't know by now what"s the situation :/Good luck to you

I have also noted a lack of passengers looking for the trip. I'm guessing that enough people are hitting the area that the boards aren't keeping up - or the BGS is winding the demand down. I'll still occasionally luck into 100-150 total passengers going (across a few stations and with a lot of board flipping) but I haven't filled the bus in recent days.
See, I guess I don't know where the good runs are...
I'm doing passenger hops to grind Fed rank and credits, but I see SO few of the big pay jobs... I count a 50m day as well done. I can never seem to find enough hops to a single station to fill my Python (96 economy seats) so I'll take runs on a 3-4 destination loop, checking at each stop for missions back to 'home base'. I have about 47% left to rear admiral, but I'm only currently sitting on about 240m credits.
Where I am basing from I can occasionally find one or two missions per set paying out up to 2.5m each, but more commonly they cap between 900k and 1.3m
Where should I be looking to find the big payout routes? (Bearing in mind that it should be Fed aligned... (Only 47% to go...))
Edit: If this is off topic (Since OP specified Smeaton) I apologize, reading through the thread made me realize my grind game could use some refinement

I earned Rear Admiral running passengers from Parutis to Vela Dock in MEDB (and at least 1.5 billion credits). But as I learned tonight Evans Port in Parutis is in Lockdown and no more payday...at least for now. It was a great run, but the players as a whole eventually affect these big payouts.

Right now the "Big money" runs are all kind of starting to fall apart due to station lockdowns or simply over-immigration, so keep you eyes peeled looking for the next big run to show up on youtube or in the forums.
