Note that payouts are proportional to this distance

Good to know. Yeah, I was taking the highest payout delivery runs since I had gotten pretty good with the fuel scoop so I wouldn't have to factor in fuel costs (just the occasional repair). Was definitely multitasking with housework while in the 15 minute supercruise section, but doing that 4 times got pretty unbearable. I kinda regret not making the final delivery to collect payment, but by the time I got all the way back out there from the detention center, it would have taken close to 45 minutes lol

When accepting missions this distance will be displayed in the details

I noticed that but thought it was from the station where I accepted the mission. That, and I'm still getting used to the sheer scale of the game.

FSD boost

I read about that but don't have that upgrade yet.

Mine was just a board in an anti-static bag. As bare bone as you can get.

Yeah, I like it after figuring out how to get it in the right modes. Bought it for playing emulators but works great with Steam.
