While we are waiting, might be a good time to do the hutton run...

Yes!

I just ran the Hutton run for the first time by accident, there was a lot of Boom Data missions so I took on 20. Didn't even realise it was THAT far....
They were paying between 2 and 4 million credits each so I made 57 Million credits in one run. Has to be the biggest easy money haul I've ever made in less than 1 hour.

Out of curiosity, where did you pick up your data missions from?
That's cool, but I'm always slightly perplexed by people playing the game to make credits. Some ship and loadout you have in mind, or is just for the sake of it?
Genuine question. Not judging here. I play as a survivalist/adventurer/explorer, so there's a similar sort of grind involved in a way. Tagging some interesting systems or making credits could have a similar sort of appeal, I suppose.

Well I only had 100 Million credits so it was a pretty big jump for me!

Sure, just rub it in why don't you. [downcast]
In addition to the 100Cr Anaconda, the Truckers currently have an excess surplus of Mugs.
Still haven’t done a Hutton run yet, after 1.5 years of owning ED. Sadly, I can’t now since I’m still out in the core neutron-hopping.
Fun fact: in the time it takes to supercruise to Hutton, my Cutter can cover about 4000 LY using the neutron plotter, and that’s with a meager 30.6 LY jump range. Weird how that works.

And people act like passengers are the way to go......
Heh, pretty much. Hutton is an easy 15-25M/hr with no board hopping as you just need to jump to the three stations in Earth orbit.
Lady, I am not going to Hutton Orbital just because someone tells me I should on the internets. No. Refuse.

Well..
Thanks! I'm heading there now to pick up some missions to Hutton orbital!
I did the Hutton run
while I slopped off and watched Star Trek Next Gen lol!Made 42mil in data missions but I wasn't ranked at Sol, next run should be better! Plus a mil for the rares as well... but tbh, the extra mil isn't worth the hassle, even if I switched to a JC parked up at Sol to do the 150+ly distance in a couple of jumps...
I did have a deadly conda on my tail the whole way there... but I just logged out to the menu when I was 20kls away then relogged back in - conda gone
Easy money if you have something else to do for an hour or so (took 1h28 from Sol to Hutton Orbital - official time is 1h26).
First batch of missions took nearly an hour to collect. Paying between 1 and 3 mil each. Total came to 42mil (2.1mil average) plus a mil for the rares if you can be bothered with them.
Second batch of missions (now allied) took 35min to collect paying between 3 and 4mil each so should net about 70mil per run or put another way about 40-45min of play time netting ~93mil/hr [2:15ish real time; 35+10min at pc].

Consolidated my ships on Daedalus in Sol system so I could add ship IDs, was thinking about it as a permanent homeport so decided to get allied with all the factions. No sooner had I done that than a thread appears on Reddit saying that data delivery to Hutton Orbital is the big moneymaker these days.
I'd been out to Hutton Orbital once before, so knew what to expect of the run and I'd also known about the big payouts for data missions; but I was taken aback by the fifty minutes of board hopping (with allied factions!) it took to get nineteen data and one cargo missions.
Anyway the result was:
Total time taken: 2 hrs 20 min.
Earnings: Cr 75m
For a rate of Cr 32m/hr (plus getting a fair chunk of The Expanse Vol. 2 read).
That's not bad in these post-Smeaton-nerf days, but fifty minutes of board-hopping is truly agonizing.

See my timings (post #18) above, second run for me was much faster (allied) then the first. Mission gathering took 35min.
