Highest paid missions?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Highest paid missions?

It's been covered but I don't see a way here to look at old threads or doa search so I have to ask.

Where are the highest paying (most difficult) missions? Omicron Alpha has several up to the 150k mark, any higher ones out there?

Wow, what do you have to do in those 150k ones?

Actually, exactly the same things you have to do in the missions which only net a few thousands. Exactly.
Only the enemy ships are a bit thougher.

Hi all!

Well, the highest paid mission I've done in Multiplayer was when there were two of us (both level 38) in the Omicron Theta system at Freeport 9 for the Bounty Hunter's Guild. 230,000 for killing 5 titans and retrieving an escape pod

We consistently get 150k+ missions at that station, and always for killing between 10-15 Corsairs (now exclusively in Titans). And since it takes about 5 minutes a mission we are making around 1.2m / hour each.

BTW - the reason this is so easy is the following ship specs:

Eagle - Best ship due to extreme maneuverability.
4x Nomad Cannons -
2x Salamanca Type II (Class 9) - Going to probably upgrade to Tizona Del Cid (Class 9) for enhanced shield removal.
The class 10 shield - (too lazy to look up name )
Advanced Thrusters
Ripper Mines - Heheheh
Sunslayer Torpedoes - " "
Advanced Countermeasures

I have done missions at freeport 9 for the bounty-hunters there for 245,000, the missions take aprox 5-10 mins to do and as well as the mission payment i also regularly pick up 3-4 lvl 9 guns (36,000 sell value) and a full cargo hold of silver or consumer goods or h-fuel, which all sell for 200ish a unit at freeport 9, it is a high radiation area so even allthough i never really get damaged that much i still have to pay about 10,000 in repairs when i get back (including the 1-2 shield batteries i sometimes need to re-stock)

All in the missions are worth about 350K(very poor) to about 450K(the most i have prolly made in one mission) with an average of about 400k if the mission was a 245,000 one, can't remember the difficulty if anybody wants it i think they are about lvl 43ish i will post a reply if somebody wants me to go find out any more info.

I also use an eagle dont use mines, dont use missles, dont use torpedoes, never use turret view, this game is a bit too easy if these are the hardest missions available, but i am glad at least thet missions are a much better way of getting cash than trading.

I once had my shields go down to about 20% when i acidenaly killed a bounty hunter ship and had to kill all the corsair titans (about 10) and all the bounty hunter hammerheads (another 10-15) that were supposed to be helping me on the mission, but went red when i fragged one of them, so i am guessing if i could find a lvl100 mission for say a couple of million credit reward it might be challenging and force me to buy some propper weapons for my ship and use nano bots and stuff(fingers crossed)

I seen a newscast on one of my friends pc's saying that there was some bounty on a guy for 3million credits and he was the top of everyones most-wanted lists, but i have never seen any missions to actualy go get him.

Trojan out.
