Frontier: Please give us long range smuggling back.

I am so glad that the robigo stuff is over atlest for now. I never made use of it and think it channeled all decent smuggling stuff in to a junk gaming. I loved smuggling . I never smuggled slaves. I loved finding black markets and I love the idea of long range smuggling missions. There are still missions to smuggle long range that pay millions but they are not all trash robigo run slave. I am delivering about 20t of narcotics to a location that was only revealed after going to another system. This is far better game play. Now I hope they finally get rid of the black markets from the system map and put back the fun of discovering them ourselves.

Op if you are elite trader you have credits for A rated cutter,then nothing can beat good A-B-A rout with it.15 - 20 mill at hour,long range hauling at 150 ly plus mission waiting is much time consuming and less paid.

I heard gun running is where it is now, if you know where to sell them to...
Though not at Robigo levels.
Nice profit though.

Black markets serve a purpose, should probably need to be earned, and then we might have a more viable situation than we currently have.

Nope. Been there yesterday - only charity missions. Forget it.

They are still there, I did quite an in depth test back in Beta & early release. What happens now is some spawns at the long range destinations will just be charity or fetch missions, thankfully long gone are the days of refreshing the board or relogging to get a constant stream of high paying missions.

Only exception I found was Darnielle's progress, it was giving out high paying missions on every spawn, haven't been back since. The balance seems good now, you can make a lot of money, but not crazy amounts from a constant stream with each refresh.

I went to Fehu. Nothing. I've been to Obsidian Orbital. They had one or two smuggling missions, but only 1 mill a piece.

It seems like they've mostly been removed. I'll try some of the other places.

so, they had missions, long smuggling missions. You are not looking for miSSions, you are looking for miLLions..

I love the bit of: ONLY 1M a piece... ONLY

Hmmm. 1,000,000 for taking goods from Fehu into the bubble? That's usually around 300ly+. It's a fair old schlep, matey, so not particularly well remunerated. There are far more lucrative missions available for less commitment in 2.1: not sure why an outlying system such as Fehu shouldn't offer better pay, TBH.

I am unsure if it is just sheer luck or what but when I get to new stations I haven't been before I see several smuggling missions but when I grind out the faction rep to get them that I previously seen they all disappear and no longer will offer any no matter how many times I check back with the board after completing kill missions. Grind for annoyance =(
