I'm ranked Elite in Trading and I'm at stations that I'm allied with a significant majority of the factions yet I checkout the mission boards and I can't even fill my hold with the missions listed even if I were to accept missions to several systems. Why?
The average haulage mission to a large pad is paying 1.3 million max while some are less than a million. On a rare occasion I'll find one close to 1.8 million. I can find maybe 4 to 5 missions on the whole board, however, most of the time I can only find 2 to 3 mission to haul stuff on the entire board. Why?
But look, there's quite a few missions that state "ship too large". I could easily fill my T9 with them and they pay at least 75% more for the same quantities than do the missions to large pads. Why?
It is very hard to make a decent paying trip back now as there are less haulage missions of any type on the board. Why?
The source and return missions are even worse paying and I'm lucky to find something I can transport to the location to make it decently profitable. Source and Return missions dominate the boards and while wing missions pay more, they still pay less per ton than to straight haulage missions. Why?
If I take a high paying, long range mission (180,000+ls) mission, the Source and Return missions pay the same money as they do anywhere else... Why?
Data missions are now hard to come by. Why?
I look at my Oculus and think about logging into the game and I ask why?

In the mix of missions that say my ship is too large there is often several for 2 to 3.5 million credits. No single large pad mission approaches that kind of a payout. Why?
There are now less wing missions... Good or bad, I don't know, but these pay around a million to a million and a half max for each trip that it would take me to finish the mission. The typical 120 or 180 ton haulage missions are paying about the same price to haul about 1/3 of the tonnage. Why?

What good is it to fly to the only 3 large pads within 25 light years looking for 1600 insulating membranes and the first 2 ports had 1 each and the other had less than 50?
I can't see quantities listed along the price. Why?
If I do find a decent paying source and return mission, I can't find the cargo in any quantity in the area unless it is at a medium/small pad facility. Why?
Yet, using EDDB, I can see that several small and medium pad facilities have literally THOUSANDS of them in stock. Why?

Why do I own a T9 or any other large pad ship?
