📋 About This Mod
This mod increases the base reward amount for the Cargo and Passenger missions by 1,000 credits.
The reward for doing these missions can become irrelevant late game so they are often ignored.
When using a mod that introduces fuel cost, port fees, maintenance, etc. the cargo and passenger missions become "obsolete" since the travel costs can exceed the reward from the mission. Ideally the mods that introduce the new fees should compensate by increasing these mission rewards, but I haven't seen any that do this.
The increase of 1,000 credits was just a number that seemed about right...
I have included an optional full master ESM file that can be loaded into SFEdit and modified if you want to customize these values.
The mod modifies the values of 14 global variables that determine the base value of the mission rewards.
The mod can be enabled and disabled at any time.
This small gameplay mod increases the credit rewards for 'Deliver Cargo' and 'Transport Passenger' missions in Starfield. It's for players who find the default payouts too low and want a more lucrative trading experience. Simple and focused, it does exactly what it says.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective—does exactly what it promises
- Community-trusted with 131 endorsements and over 31k downloads
- Lightweight mod that won't clutter your load order
⚠️ Cons

For Starfield players who grind cargo and passenger missions and feel the default payouts aren't worth the effort. If you're a trader or courier roleplayer, this mod makes those runs more rewarding. Skip if you want broader economy changes or adjustable reward multipliers.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have mod loading enabled in Starfield (via the game's built-in mod support or a mod manager).
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
- This mod only affects new missions accepted after installation—existing quests won't see the boosted rewards.
