Refugee Rescue Reputation is back

[SkyB]

Greetings cmdrs,

unfortunately some of the rescue missions at the newest attacked starport require some reputation with the local factions.
Rather die than boarding any ship available, I guess.

Also, the payout is shoot. Before 3.0. there were even grade 5 materials handed out. All there is now are lousy grade one data and manufactured materials as well as a measly credit payout. I do not see a payout buff in bulk passenger missions as claimed in the patch notes.

However, almost every mission offers a boasting load of modular terminals.

The missions were better before 3.0.

Sounds like yet another instance where small recent changes got overwritten by a major update. Was the last modification to those missions' reputation requirement made before or during/after the beta?

Can the refugees be sold more profitably as slaves?

My knowledge of these missions is up to date with the last starports attacked before today, so the last change should have taken place before 3.0. - but bear in mind that on of the 3.0.+ said bulk bassenger mission rewards did get a buff.
Now it's even less.

Never change a running system...

Slightly off topic, but I have to ask...

For those of you that have been the newly attacked station, do any of the evac passenger missions offering you rewards of Microweave Cooling Hoses or Neofabric Insulation? Back in 2.4, before we had a choice of rewards, these passenger missions gave both these commodities frequently. Now in 3.0.3, no standard missions are offering these (or Articulation Motors) and they're needed for tech broker unlocks.

So if they're handing out these commodities, I'll be up there with my Rescue Anaconda in a flash!

Modular terminals only

Modular terminals only

*sigh* Thanks for confirming that for me and saving me a trip.

Merkel will take them

I've noticed that mission material payouts are WAY lower than they used to be. Now the only way to get g5 mats is to do wing missions or crazy VIP passenger missions.

Kindof ironic that the update that was supposed to address the grind made an aspect of it worse...

After the redscue frustrstion I went to my all Allied passenger system to check on payouts.
There, the buff was visivle.
9 to 12 million for transporting around 30 to 36 first class businessmen.
Before I was asked to transport at least 50 for the same payout.
Two of these fit in a Conda which equals a few million more. Also, as an alternate reward, I was often offered 9 mill + 5 G5 mats. Got myself a few bio conductors and extra money.
