OMG! You can make 20+Mil Cr per Hour, if you didn't realise.

There's an 'ignore list'?!!!
You can setup an ignore list?!!!!
Well, I'll be; learn something every day.
First on it is the girlfriend.
Second is her family.
Just getting my own back on them!
Third, that NPC that keeps pestering me!
:D

This is what I call a safety in numbers thread. It seems like an enthusiastic post to encourage people to smuggle, but you can ONLY make 20 million an hour by exiting the game and refreshing the mission list: open/solo/private. I'd say that posts like this are trying to get more people to use this exploit to try and normalis it and make it more difficult for FD to rectify it.
You can now earn a battle conda in days - how do you think that makes people who have spent months grinding merits or trading feel?

I did not reload into game at all. I took a minute or two between bulletin board looks and grabbed the missions you saw.
If you believe what I did was an exploit, then that's fine with me. The game has had these "Boom" times throughout the development process. If it turns out to be breaking the game (whatever that means) then FD will prioritise its need to be fixed and deal with it accordingly.
If this sort of endeavour is hurting your game then I am regretful, but for a few players out there, a helpful little boost over (what will probably be) a short time, can make the game more fun.
Elite: Dangerous is still a game at the end of the day and no one is losing real life money or being abused in any manner.

Strangely, the players who seem to be getting the most out of that helpful little boost are those with the highest trade ranks - the rich get richer.
Yes, you may bet lucky and make 20 in one hour, but I've tested this, and have friends who have, and you can't earn that each time.
Either way, there is an exploit, and countless are using it, so threads about smuggling profits are kind of darkened by this at the moment.

I don't care how they feel, as i have not grinded merits, spent months trading, not did i take advantage of seeking luxuries or any of the other badly skewed payout systems that have cropped up.

Can i feel smug, superior, and poor at the same time?

Yes, and you don't need to ask - just do it!!! :D
Personally, I pvp all the time. My assets were 250 million at the start of 1.3 and are 190 million at the start of 1.4, but it's the many people I know who do grind that I feel bad for. Yes, a boost in payouts is great, but switching between the modes and getting a pretty much zero risk 50 million in a couple of hours is an exploit. Patch it, FD!!!

I have over 1000 hours in elite.

My garage is full with almost every "A" spec ships.

And I welcome those missions and those payouts.

This is indeed an exploit, bug, whatever you want to call it. You are abusing the mission system by hopping instancing over and over until you have almost 100 million in missions. It should be patched, I know numerous people now who have literally made 500m credits in the past few days and even hit trade Elite in those few days. To put this into perspective, trade elite takes a normal user with 8-10m/h trade routes, approx 1 month with 3-5 hours a day of work. Is that fair to anyone who actually put in the effort for Elite? No it is not. It's an insult to anyone who worked hard for their stuff. It's also worse than the dumbing down of the game that Power Play did with it's 50m per week non sense. & even without hopping instances, these pay far too much, you can make 9m from one mission, and sometimes there are 2 to 5 on the mission board without an instance hop anyways. That's already over a day or 2 of work in half an hour worth of missions right there.

FIX THIS FRONTIER, IT ISN'T RIGHT.

Is rerolling RES instances exploiting .... thats necessary (or at least was to a much greater degree than now) ..... Prior to 1.4 (1.2-1.3 days mostly) i could have to reload an instance 30 times to get a decent on .... immersion breaking yes.... but otherwise RES were dull ... at least now its fixed kinda properly

The BB system has needed a massive overhaul for ages.... most missions are terrible and not worth the hassle.... this is still a pain but at least some effort vs reward for it ...

This is in no-way anywhere near the same league as things like the 'Seeking Luxuries' exploit ....

Exactly, what's the point in even bothering with power play when you can make the same money you get for weeks of commitment to level 5, in just a couple of hours.

Unfortunatly you'll always found someone who think he is the bringer of the truth.

If you don't like this system don't use it.

I usually play in solo and i have fun. So: what's the matter?

How much cargo space do you need for those missions? Will an Asp with 80 tons of free space be enough?

Yes, A5 fuel scoop, A3 shields, shield boosters whatever suits your taste in armaments, you can then go light and pick D class for everything else or go fast and pick A boosters and stuff. Went the second route, works fine.
