Horizons Something annoying about passenger missions.

[Daish]

Has anyone felt the annoyance of kitting out your ship with passenger cabins so you have a nice selection of first eco and business class, then you get the passengers in, take them to your destination, to be faced with you cant claim the mission credits, Reason...some passenger missions come with cargo, now if you have no cargo racks you cant claim the credits so you have to get a cargo rack Annoying....you should have an option to not claim the cargo as stated in the passenger mission brief, as sometimes you get to a destination that might not have cargo racks so you have to mess about and locate some in order to claim the credits... does anyone feel the same about this.

Yeah, I agree. Just give me credits and enjoy the ride. Another thing that annoys me is when the passenger wants off after a knockdown dragout fight. I mean you're on the ship that won. What seems to be the problem. Space is a dangerous place. If you can't handle it then don't get on the ship and waste my time. LOL!

I only take on passengers that sit down and shut up. No sightseers[cool], no explorers, no criminal masterminds[arrrr], no swells who are demanding[mad].

Refugees any time (they say thank you), businessmen and run of the mill tourists. I make my CR other ways. And no Beluga, anyone wants a ride, it's Corvette, and I will get you there safely (have been interdicted by wings of 3 NPC's since the update, fun!).

My beef so far is passenger missions that have no criminals when you accept the mission, then when you leave, a message comes up saying people are trying to kill me and i get interdicted and lose the money cause he is dissatisfied.
so far 2 missions two unsatisfied passengers.No money there, no money long range hauling, FD wrecked the game again.

You need to get Allied with the issuing factions to get a better choice of missions. I've done close to 200 of these between the Betas and now the release. I've not had anything like you describe happen during one of my trips. I've always taken missions from an Allied faction, but I also read through the mission description to make sure there will be no surprises. Nothing that happens during a mission will not be stated or hinted at within the mission description.

As of right now, passenger missions are hands down the place to be if you want to make $$. It isn't hard to pull down upwards of 20 million credits for 90 minutes of game time.

As far as space for modules... You can easily do a large percentage of the high paying missions with nothing more than two small 1st class cabins installed. 3 passengers per cabin. This should allow enough room for at least a small cargo module in pretty much any ship I can think of that can carry cabins.

I wondered what combat would do for satisfaction! LOL!! I agree - safest ship in the system!

I agree passenger missions are good for ££ or $$ once you have built up with the faction, lets hope that FD dont nerf this so lets keep it quiet. lol
