Any suggested Orca luxury passenger loops?
I've been doing this on and off for a while and was having good luck at Fernao do Po City running passengers to nearby systems for a few million at a time but now it just seems like I can't find a decent fare. Any suggestions? I'm currently in the Groombridge 34 system. Thanks in advance.

One good way to get A to B passenger missions is being within 20LY of a few systems with long travel distances to stations. Payouts scale with distance to station, so you can often get passengers willing to pay up to 5 million for a simple A to B.

Keep in mind that your reputation with the local factions will also determine the quality of the missions you get. Nobodies don't get good passenger runs, but allied commanders will.

Been doing Robigo mines to sothis in a python to grind creds, once you build up rep / inf the 4m and 5m missions appear

I leave my DBX in the parking deck over at Hauser's reach, probably the closest you will get to dock your Orca - might be worth checking out

I do get scanned there so if you take illegals might need to pop a heatsink on the way in and out...

Much better paying ones, too! Just be careful not to get yourself tricked into an "I want to visit The Great Annihilator" one. ;)

Yeah if you wanna make easy money do the Rabigo run. You can do it in a large ship or medium ship because there are 2 stations that will work. One small and one large. Once you build enough rep by doing it a lot then you will get better missions. I can make more the 10mil per run with it.

You'll get a lot more per run doing a Python from Robigo mines. Generally speaking the missions on offer at Robigo mines have a higher payout on average and it takes longer to get to Hausler's than the mines.

100 million per hour is quite doable in a Python with a 30LY range from Robigo Mines. I'm lucky to get half that doing it from Hausler's in a Beluga.

Is that just filling up with economy cabins and piling them in? I'm doing rescues in my Python right now and the money isn't nearly as good (although the rep is great)

For the Mines i have a mix of business and economy.

For Hausler it seems like there are lots of first class missions, so its worth putting in some first class cabins as well.

Thanks for the advice. I might just head over there

Doing that as well but with a Type7, and for the Rep.

Papa needs a Corvette :-)

I just went from Chief Petty Officer to Lieutenant, and halfway to Lieutenant Commander already :-)

Now you need to decide how to outfit it.
