Maximum massacre mission bonus?

I currently have an area where I can load up wing based massacre missions. It's L 206-187 with missions going to Nemehi.

Nemehi has a 58k ls distance for some planets and a haz rez. If you get massacre mission with wing status you can get 45-67-80 kill missions worth 27million a pop. I know wing status doubles the value and so does distance in that system. Maximum per mission in general is 50 million. So how far can the distance bonus be taken. Can it be maximized to get 8-9 kills for 50 mill to maximize the credits per hour? Where would such a system exist. It would need long distances and a haz rez.

Does anyone know if there is a cap on the bonus beside 50mill. Beyond the 50mill mark it could still be lowering the kills needed to speed it up. Does anyone do this. How much does it compare to mining. If it doesn't cap it could outdo mining. 20 missions at 50mill each is 1billin credits. if not cap exist it could even lower it to 8-9 kills for non wing missions. And a haz rez does not take long to farm for that to start with. That could easily outdo mining at do 500million - 1 billion per hour. Assuming you can get the missions.

This could also hypothetically be done in a single system with conflict zone missions. And I assume these mechanics have been around for a long time. Has nobody else noticed this?

If 58k ls distance doubles with the wing missions it might only take 100-200ls distance and a haz rez to complete. I would imagine a normal rez would work also as quality of the kill wouldn't matter if it's speed up enough. A single long distance travel and 160-180 total kills could be a good run for 1 billion.

I also noticed an 80 kill mission with 5 +++++ rep gave 2/3ds of freindly rep. So, I think each mission type has different purposes depending on if that is determined by units produced or money given. I will assume rep increases by units killed.

There is no "distance" modifier to Massacre Mission payouts, it's purely a function of # kills (and rep, sort of) and rank. Distance modifiers only applies to missions which have a fixed distance to a known (non-USS) destination, which are courier, delivery and bulk passenger/vip transport missions.

I'm pretty sure the stuff I've been running indicates there is. Are you sure? I think it takes about 60k ls distance to get a noticable bonus. maybe it's tiered by distance and you get a jump after a certain distance.

Absolutely certain.

Relevant modifiers are # kills, rep (sort of), and rank of the mission. Massacre missions to one system where the furthest bodies are 200k Ls away offer no substantially different payout compared to those with the furthest bodies just 1k Ls away.

Edit: I say rep "sort of" because reputation affects the amount of kills needed to complete the mission. Less rep = less kills. If your goal is BGS purposes (influence/rep, not credits) this is actually beneficial.

2nd Edit: Sorry, lots of edits :/ I'm happy to collect some figures to validate this.
