Hello,
Yup, you've really got to pay attention to what missions you take now. Especially with the new mission types for 1.5/2.0. Before I take a mission I usually click the "Open Galaxy Map" button first, to check out if the mission is even worth my time. I also don't take multi-hop missions, unless I've got some time to kill on my hands and am not doing anything else. I also try not to do timed missions (cause there is no in-game clock on my Python's console).
My personal favorite mission is the "Rescue hostage" mission, where I find the guy, follow him out the station and then blow him up and he never releases the hostage. Then, there was this time where I was supposed to wonder the galaxy with cargo and would be notified at some random time where to bring the cargo. Was notified after nearly a hour (was just about to give up.) Went to the system. Checked all the ships in SC, no joy. Went to all the stations in the system and checked, no joy. Finally, gave up, went to the nearest CZ, shot a few NPCs and let the mission timer run out. Then brought the cargo to a station and sold it.
Have fun, fly safe. o7
Hi Falcon,
For what its worth there is a clock on the Galaxy map. Super dumb place for it, but you can check the time there.
On the hostage missions you have to bring down the shields, then shoot the hatch open or use a hatch breaker limpet. As soon as the hatch lets go the hostage tumbles out in a container. Now you can pick it up the usual scoop and hope way or you can use a collector limpet to grab the hostage.
If you want to read about my adventure with a "hold onto this and I'll let you know" mission, read my post titled "Stolen Poop, OMG"

Yep 7 hostage canisters all from the "Target" ship. Simply couldn't finish the mission so had to abort it in the end. Not tried one since.

I sure miss the speed and maneuverability, though - I never even traded out the original fixed pulse lasers (I could dial the cross-hairs onto a baddie without breaking a sweat). I guess now I get to have the same fun kitting out my Cobra!
Does anyone collect all their old ships, or do you just trade them in for the upgrade? I don't have the heart to sell my sidewinder. It's like a good ol' horse who deserves the peace of the pasture (or storage dock, as the case may be).
