Missions! Missions?

[Gran Solo]

I like to do the bulletin board missions, especially smuggling and shipping.

I've noticed that the amount of cargo you are asked to ship depends on your trading rank. Can anybody tell me what the maximum cargo space they ask for is? Has anybody mined some data* on missions and can point me towards it?

Thank you!

*not literally, please don't do anything illegal!

The quantity of cargo seems very minimal to me.

Id so love to see actual trade missions with return trips - possibly contracts with option to renew and repeat.

Example - we at planet A need 100000 progenitor cells. We also need to ship 100000 ore to planet B which has these cells.

Go take these 100 ore there and return with 100 cells and if you do it in a timely manner we'll allow you to repeat the contract until our requirements are met. You will receive a bonus for expediting these orders for us at 10% above profit margins.

Then you can do 3 way missions as well.

You can see missions for higher ranks yourself, just check the "unavailable" missions to see. I'm an entrepreneur, and have had single jobs asking for as many as 150-170 units of something. I've seen tycoon and elite jobs asking quantities north of 200, maybe even as much as 300, but nothing beyond that.

I am 100% sure i have seen and done missions which required 160 tons of cargo space. And i am not sure (i can remember wrong) but i think that i have seen couple missions with 300+ cargo space needed. They have changed missions a lot and i could have seen that 300+ required cargo space mission year ago.

orders for large amounts would be nice, with bonuses for time completed. could do the same for mining, go mine 1000 tonnes of whatever in a week with a bonus for early completion
