Okay I agree with the post you agreed with. But while we are on that road, the average price per good comes down when shipped in bulk. So if we ran on rl rules then sp missions should always be paying more for 180 tons than 4 man missions would pay for the same 180 tons.
10,000 tons = 5,000,000 duckies.
180 tons = 1,350,000 duckies.
Clearly it costs you less duckies to ship bulk sales. But when you absolutely positively must ship that 180 tons today or your money back, hire a cmdr. Cheap. Reliable. Done.
So if what I said makes sense lore wise, what's the incentive to play wing trade missions? It would be more beneficial and is more beneficial to simply take multiple missions going in the same direction. That's how rl carriers do it, and that's how in game carriers do it. But who would choose bulk? In rl sure a dependable route nets big bucks for long periods, but you have contracts and stuff. In game, forget lore, why do bulk missions? As digthat would say, what's it do for me?
