There is literally no reason that this should be a thing. All Odyssey missions should be in local system or surrounding systems. NEVER 22k LY away.
For absolutely no reason should Odyssey have missions for 22k LY away.

- Start date
Same on all starports i've visited...
22k in 7 hours (there and back)...
You gonna get some practice scooping, quickly.

So don't do them?
Some people might want to though.

The point is, they take up space that other more valid missions could.
Literally every mission type ever in the history of E: D could have had such long distances. Just ignore them
The trick is to move to Colonia first, then take the missions.
Also, the giant nebula seems to help a bit with the "everything is too dark" problem.

Who?
For 100,000 credits you might as well just fly there for a laugh. You make more for the scans.
"Hey CMDR! I JUST flew all the way out to LDS 2314 from Colonia just to tell you that I need the power restored at this facility and you to return to me all within 7 hours. I'll even throw in a potential 160k credits because that should cover your gas and time. Also, your time is worthless to me and I think that you're the only person in 22k LY that can help me fix their power"
idk how much exploration data we're going to have if we have to make it 22k LY there, restore the power, and 22k LY back all in under 7 hours.You maybe up to something. It's probably calculated like this, starting from a big payout of many millions minus the to expected exploration data.
Glad it wasn't just me. The price difference was no more than 10-20K Cr mission reward between jumping 1-2 systems to having a route that couldn't even be plotted!
I didn't see the distance for the first one I picked ("Caveat emptor"), then cancelled the mission once I realised.
Kind of like offering to pay a pizza delivery person 20 quid to personally finance a trip from the south of Australia to deliver it to Reykjavik...

That's dumb and you know it.
Tbf someone needs to take a look at the design of these power core thingys, they don't seem too reliable to me.
I used to regularly take 20 courier missions from the bubble to Colonia - but they paid a lot more than that - could make about 150 mill in exploration data each way too!
I might not be too keen on a 7 hour 'do it' window for 100k credits...
Maybe just a hiccup?

Why not? I live in Colonia region and I see long distance missions all the time. They pay a lot, of course. Not enough to make the trip worth it to me, but still.
I really can't think of anyone who would do them. Jump 22k one way just to flip a switch when you can do the same thing for the same reward 22000 LS away.
