This is what you hope for... That 1 in 1000 delivery.

[RyanBigDog]

In all my time doing runs I've yet to get this lucky.

I hit the Borman Colony to drop some crap off and the checked out the missions. Go figure, the only two available missions to me were both "Deliver 3 units of superconductors."

But upon further inspection, not only are they both in the same system but they're both at the same damn station!

One is for 151k credits and the other is for 73k! And it's only 8 Ly away!

I don't care if you hate deliveries or not, that's easy money that anyone would take. IMO its very rare to find 2 decent paying deliveries both going to the same place.

Very occasionally this happens at the start and can be a great leg-up in the game.

So lucky.
It's great when that happens, anyone with multi-purpose ships could make a tidy sum if they check all the missions at a station, never know how many migh be in the same system.

I play solo, maybe it's luck or my determination, but I've had several boom mission where as I must go back to the place I had just left. I've got a competly upgrade t6 with 100 or more ton ability. So, I look at the mission board (legal only, so far)and if there isn't a good load paying 100, 000 or more. I leave my play area for 5 to 10 minutes. When I return, there's always new mission added. Repeat until I can't get anything else aboard. My record loads or missions was 8, but three of them were documents, so no cargo room needed, but they paid. I made a cool million on that trip, and as luck will happened. Accepted 5 when I got there for another 600,000. Total time from first docking to 2 trips final was an hour. I generally average 400 to 750 per trip, but it takes almost an hour to fill my cargo holds and run em. Once I learn how to get past the scanners, I'll make even more hauling illegal freight.

I had two of those yesterday. I also seem to be getting stacking massacre missions (2-4 at a time) very often, but they're usually in systems where the conflict zones are going to murder me :/

If one doesn't like whats available, just wait 5 to 10 minutes, more mission are added to choose from. Personally I'll wait up to a half hour chcking the board every 5 minutes for my selection of missions to do. Add that to the time it takes. I'm averaging between 750 and a million an hour, just doing multiple boom mission including the timed ones. When I learn how to skirt by the scanner's, I'll make even more doing illegal missions. I'm in a fully upgraded t6 freighter and play in solo with no hard points at all. I can haul an excess of 100 tons though my largest has only been 60. One can stack the missions if one has enough room to get several on board. Make the first stop, check the board for missions go to one in your stack. Get paid twice! Don't need a fuel scoop, hard points, or scanners in my upgraded to the max t6. Which even if you don't use, have energy allocated to their use. Getting rid of them allows for more energy to be utilize by the functions you actually need to be successful at truck driving in the black. I'm aiming for a Orca, then it's only passengers and exploring while doing tour runs for me until and after I get my dream ship, a fully upgraded engineered Beluga. It will be black and named "UBER".

Go with Lyft. Too much drama at Uber

Getting around the scans at a station might be hard in a Type-6. Try moving out in front of the station to around 7.5-8km. Line up with the slot, then gun it (probably not boost yet). Don't forget to request docking permission on the way in. Once inside, fly up/down a bit to ensure the scan stops if one started.

If you want to smuggle, the Cobra is a decent small ship (36 ton). DBX might work, but only around 32 ton I think. Imperial ships might be handy as well (quick and agile).
