So, how to find those crazy high pay hauling missions (20m+)
Last night I got a "Haul 180 units of Tritium" mission which paid out 32m.
Now hauling similar amounts of stuff for roughly a 10th (if I'm lucky) the payout feels a bit dull.
Is there any method when it comes to tracking these missions down, or are they the equivalent of an winning lottery ticket?

You've been spoiled, you'll never be able to look at a normal mission the same way again :D.

Well, best delivery missions come from Boom States. Even better if they come from systems that are also in Civil Liberty.

So the absolute best delivery missions are going to be from stations in those states that have economies that deal with expensive commodities, namely extraction (palladium deliveries) and refinery (tritium deliveries).

Of course, as always, local minr faction rep might be necessary for best results.

High Tech systems also work (Performance Enhancers deliveries).

Yeah, those are good too, but not as good as the other two. Palladium deliveries in particular can get pretty crazy.

Thanks
Landed another one, though the payoff wasn't as good. Was in a neighbouring system to a system with two Tritium stations which wanted 80 units of trit. Reward was 15 mil and change (about 12m when you adjust for the cost of trit) these hauling missions are quite tasty, I'll probably make my first 100m very shortly thanks to them.

It helps if you are allied with **ALL** the factions in your home station - and getting allied with all the factions in your surrounding systems never hurts; it means you can find these missions going both ways.
