One way Passenger Missions?
- Thread starter Taluss
- Start date
Not at the moment they don't exist. You can do transport missions that take the passenger one way, but you still need the return journey to collect your reward.
Pain in the bum really...

What? I do transports all the time and payment is always collected at the destination.
Nope, payment has always been back at the original station. At any rate having done a LOT of passenger missions I've never got payment anywhere other than the original start point.
For example, it is possible to get to your destination, do all that, come back to the start and turn on silent running to avoid a scan. You then miss the letter box because you're rushing and nearly kill yourself on the side of the station.
The passengers get all cross, demand to be let off and you don't get a penny. Otherwise what's to stop you taking the money in the middle of nowhere and ejecting the punters?
Don't ask me how I know, I just do

They are probably talking about sightseeing/tourist missions. Regular passenger missions are one way, collect payment at the destination.
Well I most certainly have, often running prisoners/medical personal/refugees or just people looking for a ride to another system. Have never needed to return to the original station. Tourist missions have always been round trips.

Well, transport missions are the lower paying missions, basically cargo with requirements. If you've been attracted by the higher offers, chances are you wouldn't of done a transport mission.
MY MISTAKE! I've been doing passenger missions all day yesterday, including transport missions, and everyone else is right, they do collect at the destination! I don't know how it's possible for me to have been doing them all day and still be wrong about them! DOH

Yep, 1-way Passenger Missions exist :
- bulk Passengers
- VIP Dropoffs (distances same as LR Hauls as per local region)
The majority still is made from Sightseeing (Tourist Beacons), though. So finding i.e. a high-paying 1-way VIP takes a bit of luck.
I reckon the best chances might be during Boom State, but that's just a gut feeling.

I honestly don't think transport missions will generate for those distances. They have a hard limit on them or just the way the procedural generation works.
People that are out at Colonial could tell you. There are probably zero one ways back to the bubble either.
There used to be cargo missions returning from Jacks for 100s of million, they got removed as they were easily stacked for silly money.
