FDev, hold an emergency meeting and get your marbles back ASAP. 😀

So, regarding those marbles, do they look like void opals? Because I know where I can find those and if I end up selling them to FD, will that help? What are they paying per ton?

Somehow I don't think FD will admit that they lost their marbles, and by buying them in any form they'd admit their lack of.

So it is still not clear either you accepted the mission or not.

OK, as insane as I am, no, absolutely not.

This....

I wouldn't see this as a mining mission but a trade mission. If I was to see this mission and was flying my Type-9, Cutter or Anaconda, the first thing I would do would be see if there was a outward bound profit trip available to supplement the mission. For example taking food in one direction, selling for profit, and then returning with the mission water. Even if I eventually got bored or exhausted all the profitable routes, I would still be making incremental credits before the final payout.

It's all about how you look at the missions as opportunities.

There is that, but still, FDev really need to sort their missions board out already. I don't understand why the missions have to be almost entirely devoid of fun factor and so blatantly ill thought out for the most part.

The missions board of their ancient Elite 2: Frontier was more interesting than this. At least your rep enabled you to haggle for more money, or half up front and Navy Missions actually existed exclusively, influenced by rank held etc.

Why does this game have to have such a lame missions board for the most part?

Just skim your Cutter over a water world with the cargo hatch down, fill your hold with water, rinse (literally) and repeat!

Ouch, my belly aches from the laugh.
Oh, wait... maybe.... we could force-cannon push some ice asteroids into space and point them at the station. There, special delivery through the mail slot. Choke on it!

Especially since you can make 26,029,380cr if you just sold it. Lol

Still not the best way to make money, but this mission is probably a wing mission, so 75mil split 5 ways, 2,600 tons each.

Wouldn't it be great if we could?

Well FDev teased about upper atmosphere Gas Giant ship refueling, which would have been great for slugs usage at rings. But nope, they haven't done a thing! Lol.
