I must agree with the higher reward payment thing, I have traded a lot but I enjoy doing missions as my character would in RP.
The reward to effort ratio certainly needs another looking at!
It gets discouraging when your bounty hunter, merc or freelancer does high profile jobs but gets minimum wage... proffessionals should get paid appropriately!
Then again... maybe I've been taking el cheapo missions...
It is fun doing a mission as a group though, RP is definitely enhanced.
Now if the reward could just get enhanced a little..heh heh
