Right now captur missions pay less well than negotiate ones, and package delivery pay less well than message delivery. For tutorial purposes I think that the prices should work
message -- cheapest
package -- next
and capture the most expensive.

But in terms of the Story, I find it very strange that the CK is complaining about the poor rates when he is getting 200+ to travel across the street. I think that messages, for the purpose of the tutorial, should be priced much lower. As well as the 'deliver a package' (no pick-up) that you sometimes get. (Well, actually I think there shouldn't be any package delivery only missions, as I don't think you should be able to send a package down the phone line, but that's another issue.) It is just that story-wise I think that 'go up in rep, make more cash' makes sense. In the NBZ all things are crazy, but this is a training setup, so it is in Mars' interest to run things this way. |

Thanks for the feedback. The job pricing system is used throughout the game and we won't be changing it for the story. It takes a ton of things into account and determines the price.
I will be looking into re-ordering the jobs, but it will take moving mountains of dialogs, so it take will be a while before we can get there. Please remember we are also dealing with critical game-ending bugs that players are having, so I have to prioritize my 1-2 hours a day that I can spend fixing issues.

It is just that naive users have a short shelf life. I have to report the things that annoy me as they annoy me -- before I just get used to it -- or I will be worthless as an annoyance finder.  |

I've got a fix for this, we'll just hardcode these job prices.
I think starting the jobs off at $25 a pop will match the dialog.
Yeah?
