Mission pay thoughts

So ive only been playing elite for about 7 months now but i dont understand why Frontier doesnt want you to do missions. Take odysey missions. I want to do them however they wont progress you in the game. 300,000 credits? That is nothing, you might as well pay me nothing. I am doing a missioin right now where the pay is 200k something and i get bonus of 50k if I take out the scavengers at a settlement. If i take engineering i get 2 of like a grade 2. Which i guess is better then the pay but thats still really low. Even if i have the highest rep i can it still sucks. I do need to up my ranks but the bottom line is why can't i be properly rewarded for doing missions? it wold add to the game so much and make the game soo much more fun.

I guess this is actually starting to frustrate me as i like doing missions whether its ship stuff or the new Odyssey stuff. Yes I know that wing bounty missions are rocking right now but why cant o go do solo missions such as covert missions on the ground and get a decent amount of engineering materials? Or get a decent payout? For ground combat missions my rank is low but my rep is max shouldnt i get at least say 5 mil? maybe 10 mil if your elite for ground combat stuff?

Its frustrating as the game would be sooo much more fun if the rewards for missions weren't basically why even bother to pay me? I am basically doing this for free.

On the off chance a frontier dev reads this (no idea if that ever happens here) I like your game but come on man make all missions whether solo or wing a viable way to progress in the game monetarily and engineering material wise. It would skyrocket the fun factor in this game!

What do veterans of this game think?
 
Pay to win DLC is not going to be looked on very well here...
But they can balance pass the pay when they work out how a GOOD active player can get so much in 1 hour...
Status with mission giver should also increase pay out so it should be low untill rep is earned...

Pay to win dlc? I honestly have no idea what your talking about I am talking about all missions in the game. To be honest most of your post makes no sense to me.

As i said my rep is maxed out my rank is not but at that point I should be paid something worth while shouldnt I?

I get 50 mill for killing 30 ships mission and you think thats low...thats a single Mission... + the bounties on every ship and the KWS pay

Then theres the fetch cargo missions get buck loads for transferring a few 100 tons of cargo in gold and palladium missions...
And zero mining is required becuase you just buy it at normal stations ...
This is a massive increase and thats excluding the starter zone boost in pay out new players got...
EDO is DLC any EDO only missions it has will be lower paying than base game...

I am wondering if you read my entire post, it doesn't appear you did, I did mention that I know bounty missions pay very good. I am not talking about bounty missions I am talking about other missions. Sooooo ya........ this thread is being derailed in a hurry.
