Delivery missions nerfed after patch-bug or feature?

Anyone else noticed this? Prior to the patch, it was possible to make reasonable amounts of credits doing delivery missions, with numerous offerings in the 500k to 1.4m range. Now there are hardly any.

Given that the balance appeared to be about right pre-patch for single player deliveries, I suspect this is another case of Frontier getting caught out by an unexpected side-effect of a code fix.

Even the wing missions seem to pay tiny amounts of credits now, for example, I am looking at one that pays only 608887cr for 2154 units of beer, which would cost just under a million credits, not to mention fuel and time. In the stations I frequent, black box salvage and courier jobs are all that are left, which leaves assassinations and massacres, just like the old times.

So is this a bug, or a feature?

Am seeing a good selection of short haul and long haul missions. Currently have around 40mill worth of cargo heading to the bubble.

The Python based Cargo Delivery missions appear to still be offering the same rewards as before the 3.03 update. I have done several since the update that have paid within the 6.5 to 8 Million range for 120t of cargo hauled to a local system's Outpost. And up to 9.8 Million for the 180t versions

These can only be found at Outposts and only the Python has the capacity to do them. (120t to 180t Capacity and medium pad only Required)

No problem. These also come with lower rewards of course, so you need to look closely at the mission reward amounts. The high dollar ones I mentioned also offer the (5) G5 material reward option.

I suggest filtering the Mission Board to only display TRANSPORT missions. This makes it much easier to sort through the offerings. :)
