I'm glad some of you found an outlet to complain about how you hate the mining overhaul and powertrading in general, but the only way that would be relevant for this topic is if it had substantially changed ore hauling profits, which it didn't. The general issue of missions well exceeding powertrading in profit would be there, mining changes or not.
I am not saying they should be unviable as a way to make money, I quite enjoy them as well. But with their current profits there's literally no reason to use transports anymore, and that's not to mention the massive imbalances within the mission system.
