Exploration Passenger Missions: Mad Due to Time Limit?

How strict are the exploration passengers with time limits? Has anybody ever seen an exploration passenger lose happyness by going over the time limit...if I take 8 weeks instead of 4, are they gonna get mad? They all say "laid back" in their descriptions but I've seen a lot of variation in passengers before in various aspects of what makes them mad and how mad it makes them...

I've never really come close to going over the 4 week time limit before, but this trip might get a bit close - I have 8 passengers stacked on my exploraconda and am really stopping to smell the flowers more this time, scanning more bodies and just taking a more leisurely pace as I traipse around the galaxy in a big loop due to the huge buff in exploration credits and nerf to the passenger value (it used to be like 90/10 from the passengers, now it will probably be flipped) I've heard second hand stories of people going way over the time limit without problems but was wondering if anyone could confirm. Of course this would be a new one for 2.3....hoping their behavior hasn't changed....?

Not on that time scale, I've had one complaining when I logged back in (after forgetting I had a passenger) that "man this is the longest trip ever", it was well over time but only on a schedule of about a day initially.

Report back when you finally hand in though as it looks like you might be one of the few that don't just ditch the passengers.

Thanks. So it sounds like you were several times over the limit; I have heard of people being months late without issue and that would fit with your report.

With the caveats:

1. That it was a month or two ago so YMMV as FD do change parameters on mission payouts and limits (and ship stats more noticeably) quite often.

2. That it was a month or two ago so I'm not clear on details, I do know it had to be well past the cut off for the initial mission though, be that by 2 or 3 times I'm not so sure.

Be interesting to see how far you can push the patience of your passengers though! :D
 
I had a short hop passenger suddenly become "Miserable" and demand to be dropped off at the nearest spaceport.

No idea why though...

Too bad I couldn't just open the door to her cabin and let her out in space...:rolleyes:

Make them mad enough and they will eject their cabin, it costs you a bit to replace it.....but there is an advantage...
