They take much longer to complete, always require you to fly back to the mission giver, most are harder than typical ship-only missions, yet they range in reward from around 50K to around 300K.
Reputation with factions doesn't seem to affect values at all. And neither does distance, as EDO missions with the destination in Colonia have these same rewards. Is this a bug or by design?
Granted that EDO missions are several orders of magnitude more fun than ferrying biowaste to the station next door for 3 minutes, but fun and progress don't need to be mutually exclusive.
