I regularly see missions offering 30-60t of biowaste as reward. Close to a agricultural starport that buys biowaste for 600 cr/t. Strange, but not that bad compared to other cargo reward.

I've been getting similar and better 8,11,12 mil credits for delivering imp. slaves to systems within 30lys of the system giving them.
With out board hopping I can fill my T9 with around 4 or 5 of them.
There are some outposts near by, so I go to the mission board with my 276t Python and take any outpost deliveries then if they are more deliveries to Starports I then swap to my T9 and fill up on those.
Bare in mind that I am fully allied with ALL the factions in the starting system and also most of the receiving stations, this has taken sometime to achieve.
All good, how many different destinations do you generally ship to? IIRC Robigo with a full Python (for comparison) was up to 10 separate stops at the delivery end.
Generally it's only 2 or 3 destinations. Been busy so the ship has been sitting at the dock, only picking up the very high value missions when I check in, the result is the missions destinations will vary.
Current payload is 688 tonnes to 5 destinations, total payout is 47 million.
If you are lucky they will all go to the same place.
Hehe, just got a notification, seems the noobtubers are on to it, so I guess these routes will die soon

So with a jump range of 35ly in a T9 I guess you don’t have weapons cause it’s better to run...or..?
Maybe FD nerfed this already,or maybe i'm really unlucky,but after spending 3-4 hrs getting the faction rep up I only saw the long distance missions come up once.
And that was with board flipping too,recalled my DBX and left the Cutter here-hopefully someone can confirm this is still a thing...

No I have an all missile loadout, also slightly upgraded the powerplant, current range is 33.19ly unladen.
@Drunkenmonk, I was there an hour ago, saw a good amount of missions, are you definitely at Agricolas ascent? The system is in Boom - https://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystem/27495/
Yep exact same system,playing on Xbox at the minute so maybe the BGS is different to pc-pretty sure it shouldn't be though...
Okay - thank you. I am close then with 31.7ly. I think that’s okay. I don’t want a totally stripped down light weight build. May I ask what shield you have?
Am not flying in open, so no shields. I have stored G5 shields for open, I use either the class 7 or 8 slot, running quad boosters. As a general rule, if it's an NPC I'll fight and win the interdiction, if it's a CMDR, I'll emergency drop before they have a chance to interdict, or submit and try to high wake asap.
I'm here on ps4 lol and it's state is none. It's the same bgs for all formats so not sure what's going on tbh but not seen any long distance missions so far
