I came here to say almost exactly the same thing as Honvik. The PvE missions just don't pay out enough to cover the initial cost just in ammo, let alone fuel or ship damage, and that's if you don't have a catastrophic bug that makes you unable to complete it (or leaves your ship stranded 660,000 su away so you effectively can't retry). When it works, it's been fun, but my group can afford the investment in something that doesn't make money. A lot of players won't do this if it's just an all-around sink.
