Is it me or passenger missions are flawed?

You have to *read* the text accompanying the passenger mission. Sometimes the "criminal" is written in the text below with no "may be wanted in multiple systems" on the top - with "illicit passenger" as a consequence and death by scanning.

Also I have the impression that when you get scanned while running silent with "secretive" passengers they won't complain.

Unlike the term you get what you pay for, it's You gotta do what they pay for. Yes there are missions that pay very well upon completion, so one doesn't have to go all the way back for payment. Think about that when deceiding which mission to accept. A trip requiring a return for payment actully only pays half, so sometimes doing a shorter paid when you get there is far better economically.

Tip off should be the price one is willing to pay vs someone else going to the same destination.

Get a winder and practice entering a station fast, because some of the landing docks are directly in front of the portal, I use a DC, full throtte right up to the end of the toaster rack, release throttle and the DC takes over to land. Should the dock be all the way in, use a bit of throttle to get you there faster.
