I've had several time-based deliveries that did not get an S rating, even though the delivery time was well under the specified limit. In these cases, I am playing on Hard difficulty and going for Premium Delivery.

In the past, I chalked it up to making partial deliveries for large cargo orders, thinking that to get the Premium award I needed to deliver it all at once. However, I just completed an order for the First Prepper, delivered all of the cargo in one trip and made it in 8:25 for a 35-minute limit. See attached photo.

There must be some qualification I missed, I just don't know what it was.

Best Answer

You need to complete order in less than 20% (or 1/5) of order time limit. So to get S rating for 35 minute limit order you need to complete it in less than 7 minutes.

Cargo damage also affects results:

Scenarios for 25 minutes premium delivery (hard):

  • Completed with 5:20 (0% damage) - RATED A
  • Completed with 4:30 (9% damage) - RATED A
  • Completed with 4:30 (6% damage) - RATED S
