Mission payouts are fine.

I'd been out of circulation on an exploration trip so last night on getting "home" I decided to look at the mission boards to see what all this complained-of "nerfing" was about.

I see no problem. I saw data delivery missions for rep+++ as they always used to be. There were a few hauling and pirate lord missions offering payouts up to about 9Mcr. A few of those offered rep+++++. In the passenger lounge there were the usual collection of long-distance explorers, sightseers and transport contractors. I noticed some sightseers offering about 6Mcr and rep+++++ so I'll probably be doing a couple of those tonight. I can't see any sign of nerfage.

I am glad you are having good luck... I am having the exact opposite.

My T9 is about to be mothballed because I can't find any use for it. I like to stack up non wing hauling missions (120-180T trips) and they just don't exist for me anymore. The pay is just pathetic even in boom systems fully allied.

Right now the only thing I can find that's really fun to do is Elite Assassination Missions. They're paying me about 2M a pop and if I get a Vette as an enemy it usually has about a 250k+ bounty so I can make a little money.

I have a friend that wanted to start playing.. I told him don't bother. His long term goal is an Anaconda and the way the climate is right now I can't imagine how he would get one.

I'm glad they work for you though, RNG is a b@#$h. The mission boards hate me lately. [big grin]

There was a time, a year or so ago, where I noticed that at about midnight England time which is about 6pm my time that the mission boards would dry up completely. 0/0 all evening.

I wonder if the time of day has any factor on the mission selections. I know an old trick in games with RNG used to be to use time() as a seed for the number generation, but that usually includes # of seconds since Jan 1 1970. So wouldn't be repeating anyway.
