Horizons Passenger Missions

[AngerManagement]

I like the new passenger missions, some are quite lucrative but some....seriously....travel 32,000Ly for 30 million credits!!!!! that seems a bit tight considering the time involved.
I think the rewards for the long, long distance ones should be a bit more enticing

Also, could we have thrill seeking tourists who maybe want to go pirate hunting or speeding through a deep canyon just to make some of the missions a bit more exciting rather than stopping off to buy some clothing for some spoilt rich girl?......just an idea.

I agree, flying to a POI on a planet would be a fine addition to the passenger requests.

The only super long distance missions that make sense are the ones out to Jaques/Colonia IF you were planning that trip anyway of course. When I finally decide to head out there myself, I am going to make a point in trying to find at lease one, perhaps more of those Jaques/Colonia trips.

I mean why not get paid to travel where you were planning to go anyway?

What about this. You can take a passenger tourist mission and just do the minimum and get paid the agreed price, but if you add in extras while the tourists are on board then you may get big tips as they leave. Two things here... 1) you basically create your own style of passenger interaction and 2) The suspense of waiting to find out how happy you made them and how generous they're going to be.

The things you can add in are basically whatever you choose to do during the trip, as suggested by the OP.

There must be scaffolding in the game already for this principle because you can already do things to them to hack them off.

I never liked exploration (in any game) for me it's just boring, but to earn some decent money i got fly all the way through god damn galaxy because some NPC wants to see a planet ?

Why the life of this NPC is not in danger and he knows he WILL be attacked maybe even by multiple enemys (not just might be attacked, because he never is) that's why you have to deliver him to a safe place, whatever it might be (just not the "end" of the galaxy again). I know it's maybe not something new but at least it shouldn't be boring (from my point of view).
