Ker-ching! ✌
While I don't disagree that mining profits are out of line with other careers right now, this isn't a great example. Top 75% required about 190 T according to Inara - that's a single load in anything larger than a Krait, with several source stations under 10 LY away. 15M credits for five minutes work rivals the very best mining payouts!An example of how the CG rewards (good though they are this time !) are still way out of balance with mining rewards:
I dropped off enough tonnage for the top 75% ..... 15.6m cr reward; (not forgetting the shiny paint for the Cobra lol);
I went mining instead and have just sold:
4t of Alexandrite .... 2.2m cr profit;
36 LTDs .... 25.5 m cr profit;
72 Void Opals ... 119.5 m cr profit.
Alas, nerf hammer is incoming, but the game probably needs it.

Oh dear, I think they put your credits in my hold.So where is "cargo full credits"? My cargo is still emplty.
Side note to self after being Top 10%: For next CG buy a T-9, 'Vette simply can't haul enough.
Pity those in Anacondas.IMHO the best moment of this (my first ever) CG was to finally be able to see and communicate with other players in-game, despite minimal profits with 22k+ tons of Animal Meat. Seeing a lot of hollow squares and having a few cool chats is what this game should be, always

I think I'll stick with my T9 - holds more and I'll never get the rank for a Cutter even if I wanted one anyway.Yep, this is the path that leads to a Cutter
All my deliveries were beer. Wouldn't be a party otherwise.I'm in the top 50% and I've delivered only beer Only cold ones.
Same here. I couldn't even bring myself to 'grind' the half-price Fed ranks for a cheap corvette. My only large ships that I ever use are a Type-9 (probably my main ship now) and a Beluga.I think I'll stick with my T9 - holds more and I'll never get the rank for a Cutter even if I wanted one anyway.
I switched from T9 to T7 - holds less and I'll never get pulled over by an NPC pirate.I think I'll stick with my T9 - holds more and I'll never get the rank for a Cutter even if I wanted one anyway.
