Bugs have been reported by various commanders and FD said that VIP passenger mission are being looked at since the update but not a thing has changed.
There are many other stations that are 1 million plus Ls away from the systems primary star, and all the missions types across the galaxy were affected by the update of 6/28, but I will use the one place everyone knows- Parutis.
Prior to the update you could enter the passenger lounge at Parutis/Evans Port in a Beluga or Anaconda with no faction rep for the very first time and load your ship with one board and take VIP transport missions to MEDB/Vela Dock and make 25 million, or if fully allied make 60 million or more.
This was true at many stations all over with an arrival station a million or more light seconds away from the primary star.
Since the update of 6/28 however you might see one VIP transport to these stations that are a million + LS away on the first board, or you might see one of the missions in 10-20-50 flips of the board, or you might find two on one board, and then not see another for 10-20 flips, etc...
The beluga is practically obsolete now, if you want to fill it with VIP's now, as a a matter of fact you would be lucky to fill an Orca.
But even worse, if you never flip another board, you might find one VIP passenger transport high paying mission with a long SC, in one to 25 or more checks in the lounge.
There is something new in every passenger lounge no matter what station or system, and that is that they are full of passenger missions with very low pay, going to systems that have never, ever, been in the passenger lounge before the update, and there may not be more than one going to the same location.
The way the passenger lounge is in every station now, is that you can carry passengers to different systems, and make 7-8 trips to 7-8 different stations for very little pay depending on how many cabins you have.
The passenger business is no longer a viable career in ED anymore.
And until the update passenger transports and combat at the CNB were my two niches in ED.
There is nothing more for me in ED, I've done it all, and enjoy nothing else.
So I am basically left with nothing else but bounty hunting at a CNB for joy in ED.
So if the passenger lounge is as it will permanently be since the update, I shall fight an hour or two a day until I am triple elite, then I am finished with ED.
There have been bug reports, complete with screen shots, and details.
They go unanswered.
What I simply want to know is if the passenger lounge is going to be fixed, or if this is the new norm.
