Passenger Missions: Ceos/Sothis - > Bubble
- Thread starter Vurosia
- Start date
I am enroute, should be there in an hour, checking out the crashed ship in Maia first. From what I've seen n Beta videos you can get high paying pax missions, most of them long range tourist stuff. I'll see if there is any standard economy class A-B stuff heading back to the bubble
All Long Range Hauling/Smuggling missions have been cut 1/3 or 1/4th of their original price. The best way to make money now, is going to a populated system with 1 or 2 populated neighboring systems far from the bubble like Aditi/64 Arietis. Once your friendly/allied with the faction that owns the system, you'll be able to stack a few hundred thousand or even a million just for a short jump.
He is asking about passenger missions.
Thanks for the heads up about Aditi, I have a feeling all the old remote cargo destinations will be very lucrative for passenger missions. Still haven't made it to Sothis, just arrived at Obsidian orbital, T9 configured mainly for cargo but also 32 seat economy cabin installed.
Obsidian is giving some very nice missions back to the bubble and around the Pleiades sector, so far managed to fill the passenger cabins for a total of 4 million to fly some prisoners of war and some aid workers to the military base 12LY away. I also bulked up profits with some cargo missions going to the same port.
Fairly certain Sothis will be the same, will bring a Cutter on my next trip out here.

Really? I went there on day 1 of patch and found NO missions back to bubble :/ I thought they had culled them . Most were to the local black hole
There are passenger lounges at both Sothis and Ceos stations (cannot land at Sothis Mining to check), what I have found is most of the passenger missions at Ceos ask to go to the tourist site in Sothis. This is quite easy, and missions can be stacked. However payouts are not huge - for the last run I did I think I got about 1 million combined. I am allied with all factions there. It is also a pain that different groups of passengers irrespective of their class (Economy/First class etc) wont mix in the same cabin - even if of the same class.
The missions I have seen in Sothis mostly are for 10 to 20,000 miles towards Jaques. I have seen these pay 100,000,000 - but it is a hell of a long way.
I hope this helps, I am off to Aditi tonight to try to get some decent money.

I personally did not see any to go back to the bubble (passenger), I used Ceos/Sothis a lot prior to 2.2 so had my fingers crossed. Was as per most people disapointed.
Aditi has them for sure.
payouts are amazing. Ive been allied with all factions for ages and on a few occasions 1.2 mil missions turned into 5.4. Sometimes even before undocking.
These came mostly from selling politicians into slavery
btw welcome back Sunday(777) Driver
Wait, is there a problem with selling politicians into slavery? Personally, I think that's the best use for em!
In all seriousness, I'm looking forward to trying out the passenger stuff...being around 17kly out from home, there's not much chance of refitting...and my DBX isn't going to hold a passenger cabin in my exploration fit anyways!

Just keep in mind that taking the alternate offer reduces you alignment with the mission giver.
2 or 3 times and you lost you allied status.
Verified. Confirmed. Doing 5.000 for Palin was... not fun for me, so...
I've seen missions around 30M ~37M to Colonia from Sothis. Bussines class mostly. Stacking those missions is longer process than trading/smuggling at 2.1. So yes missions are there, good luck
You can get them within the bubble for short distances as well, if you're Allied. I watched one of OA's latest videos where he's at New Horizons station and doing high paying (5m on up) <50ly missions.
