I have a suggestion...
One thing really stands out when I play lately and run passenger transport missions ... not a single alternate objective (like selling passengers as slaves) is anywhere near worth the bonus money you'll get, for the time invested. From everything I've seen this applies to every optional objective in any mission, and some of them are a significant time investment, such as finding strange products for demanding passengers. Some of them, if you're unlucky, can take you multiple hours - even with the help of the internet, to accomplish the bonus objectives ... and you get something like 50,000 - 100,000 credits for doing so.
There's literally no incentive to actually do those extra steps, because your reward is a pittance, even with the lower paid missions. Unless you're taking the 50k missions in the first place, the bonus objectives are never worth doing. It'd be nice if it made you think about this a little bit - so i might consider selling my passengers to a slave trader, or getting some spoiled passenger some drugs. Right now there's no thought necessary, you see the potential bonus reward and laugh, and move on.
