3750 Credits for 4WH Escort Mission
Be serious, I call this bug.
- The low limit should be raised.
- The reward should be made proportional to the route length, finally.
I think these moments in VO are discouraging people from playing.

well ideally escort payout should be determined by profit of hauling then you get a cut (think it might be) so 3750 is fair if the cargo is junk, what would be better is if the mission said what was going to be hauled so the pilot could work out if it is going to be profitable.
You're kidding right? 3750 credits for clicking a little box on the PDA and then traveling the way you were going to go anyway is more than you deserve.

The main point...
Few core members playing dozen hours a day do not make MMORPG, maybe ORPG. VO still suffer from the lack of players and it seems getting worse over time.
We need more, in fact a lot of, players who play their few hours a week. The boys who grew up on Pacman are forty now. They have their jobs, families, houses, dogs ... and maybe few hours a week to play. On the other hand, they do not have problems pulling CC off the wallet.
If you are not 13 y.o. or unemployed, you probably value your time over money. You do not mind crying for your ten bucks but you want to have fun for the TIME you invested in the game. Spending half your today's playing time making money for one neut is slap into your face.
The problem is wider and already was addressed several times. People often mention traveling. Usually, a boring thing, many ION storms on your way and it takes ages to get to the nearest place where some fun is going on. For example, if you have an hour of playing time, Nation War is not worth the route e.g. from Itan and back.
I know, VO is an RPG. I am fine with the speed of leveling up and so on. I am just thinking of making VO attractive and playable for more people just because VO needs more people. I believe, we all can agree on this, at least.

While the max you can get via an escort is too high, I do agree that for a mission that takes the time that it does (yes, it does take more time than just flying, ion storms are annoying etc), the payout can be way too low.
