Has anyone tried it? With payout of 184k, I expect it won't be doable that easily

Yeah. The mission can be shared, and it goes a lot faster with a buddy.

There are 2 options for the missions, one for hauling cargo, and the other for defending a cargo hauler being attacked.

I haven't tried the cargo hauling mission yet, but I'd assume it's similar to the xenothreat cargo hauling where it would involve a little ship-to-ship combat and some FPS once you board the wrecked ship.

For the defend the cargo hauler mission, it's soloable with a light fighter, it just takes a little longer to destroy some of the larger ships that might spawn in. They must have lowered the accuracy of the NPCs for this mission so that they weren't hitting the NPC that you're trying to defend. I was flying around in a Corsair and the NPCs were barely landing any shots on me. There are probably 10-20 enemy ships, the vast majority are light fighters (mostly M50s, Buccaneers, Hornets, Gladius, and maybe a Scythe or a Talon or two). There will also be a few medium sized ships like some Prowlers or the Freelancer Max, and maybe one larger ship like the MSR. Even if I took a while to destroy the ships, they never seemed to be able to destroy the NPC Cargo Hauler that I was supposed to defend.

The servers were running fine for me on the 3 or so that I tried out yesterday. I only encountered 1 server error (which will fail the mission once the server recovers).
