How's this for a mission payout?

[Jmanis]

The major problem is that cargo delivery mission rewards are primarily based off the cargo value, not the cargo volume.

Same attitude as ever ...
It is not about you! Or how stupid somebody may be. It is about the whole Community!
I bet he did enjoy the game a lot more when you could make at least 50 Mil/h.
Now you spend x amounts of the time than before and the payout is what?
Don’t you think it’s time to admit, this time they messed it up a little?

you are right im sorry to assume that i didnt mean that im just upset kinda wanna get a good ship been playing for awhile and really only play solo but just wanna have fun instead of working when i get off work

Good 'ol FDevs.. keep up the mission balancing and 'fair rewards' system... you guys are doing a great job! (lol)

p.s. 4482 units of survival equipment = 2,460,618 Cr.

"Fair rewards"? Are you kidding? this sucks... OK, YOU ARE KIDDING

4,500 items is like 9 trips in some of the better trading boats!
Who would do that for all of 3 mil?

One must have no friends, no family, no job and no life, but plenty of money to just sit at home and do this nonsense for 8 hours a day to say:
"hey look, I made 11 million in 8 hours!"

I made better money trading imp slaves 3 Years ago, when there weren't ANY good options for making credits.

you kids are funny all i can picture is a bunch of youtube dorks playing this that do work at mcdonalds or just live at home with parents and do play 24/7 all im saying is i work anywhere from 60-90 hrs a week its hard to get ahead at that rate don' have much time to play but guess people will allways have somthing to say to try and look cool on the internets

Forum Dad alert! Anyone under 30 is now a teenager and/or 'Youtube Dork' apparently...

You do realize some of us have rather debilitating disorders and play Elite to try to escape what goes on between our ears, yeah?

Besides, I've known full time Teachers, Professors, Road Maintenance Crew, etc. that get along just fine in Elite. The ingame rewards are quite bad at times, i agree. Though about an hour or two of: Bounty Hunting, Meta Alloy collecting, Exploring using EDDB.io Road to Riches, and many other ways can offset the lack of time.

However Elite, is a long term title with a large time investment required, and that's besides Engineering and Credits!

What exactly is the problem here? The mission posted is to haul survival equipment to a surface port, that stuff goes for 233 cr/t, look for economies that are producing high value cargo, they will offer missions to haul that cargo at a good price.

Are people expecting survival equipment runs to pay the same as Palladium or gold runs? You either do haulage to help a faction, or base your routes on pure profit and use the system states and economies to find the best locations.

@shister313 - Just use your brain and the tools given to you ingame, I am lucky if I get a week at home each month, am still able to figure out the basics needed to find a good profit when I do play ED.
