Recent changes in Elite Dangerous have significantly reduced payouts for passenger missions, especially evacuation types that once rewarded up to 50 million credits. Since the Lynx highliner was introduced, these lucrative missions have disappeared, leaving players with far less profitable options. For example, a tourist mission from the bubble to Colonia now pays around 3.5 million credits, a steep drop from previous rewards. This shift has sparked frustration among commanders who feel their time investment is no longer fairly compensated, raising concerns about the game's economic balance and mission design.
- Evacuation passenger missions with high payouts removed.
