So... What is the Most profitable work in Elite?

[goemon]

Not sure why Robigo would be cheating - but if you want to do Shadow Deliveries without logging on and off, head to Sothis and Ceos, fly between the stations and fill up on as many Shadow Deliveries as you can. Depending on your trade rank you should easily get over 10 million/hour including waiting for a few BB refreshes.

this. first step - do what you do (bountyhunting) first in fed, than imperial, than in sirius space. get allied with them. being allied will get you better missions from alligned factions in ceos, robigo, and sothis.

do the takuara - robigo- sothis - ceos - sothis - robigo tour to collect missions. you will be full with mission cargo, if you don't take a python for this (and you won't, because that means you have so much time to deliver missions you could also grind rank 5 in powerplay....). you will end up with 7-12 mio/h without mission stacking/mode switching, depending on your rank and rng.

or, you simply say, i don't need that CR - what for? and start flying eagles and couriers and vultures in high res and haz res for fun.

i prefer the second (after financing an exploration anaconda + some cash in the way mentoned above).

Ok thanks for replies! Really appriciate!
Anyway those people telling it is not cheating - oookeeey... ok..
But it is not a game logging in and out... I think Frontier should make some temporrary ban for this or something.
I know everyone will start to hate me after tihs but...
I preffer Frontier could improve missions instead of doing nothing and players searching for other tricky ways to earn ingame money.

Even though I do mode-switch, I agree with you, it is pretty borderline and shouldn't be necessary. Hopefully 2.1 will put an end to it and provide us with lots of interesting missions to choose from!

I loled. Any other forum, this would raise some eyebrows.

That said, I'm just a Baron as well, so I feel ya.

As i said, i am lazy

There's no easy way to make money. Whatever you do, you have to work for it. As you have experience in combat, you can double your earning power by going to level 5 power-play. The easiest and quickest way is to deliver 10,000 tons of fortification supplies or intel. For that, you need an Anaconda. The first time will take about 5 hours, but then only 2.5 hours a week. The 10,000 tons is a big investment, which you'll eventually get back from the 50 million a week salary.

You can also fight in an expansion system. It takes about 12 hours to get the 10,000 merits. That pays you 50 million. each week after that, you only need to spend about 6 hours there to maintain it and continue to get 50 million a week. So, for 6 hours a week, you get 50 million a week, plus, you make 10 million an hour bounty hunting if you want to do more than 6 hours a week.

There's no way to make serious money, playing for 20 or 30 minutes at a time. You need to allow at least 2 hours for a Robigo run.

Yes, i did undermining in Heverduduna system and mantained 3 weeks rank 5 but it was really borring.
It was a long time ago and i had Python for this job.
Maybe it is time to return to this trap with my new Federal Corvette!

But you said deliver xxx tons of supplies or intel?
I thought you cannot deliver as many you like. There is a time limit you can access suplies and you can take 10-50 at a time, or i am missing something?

The 10-50 are free, but there's nothing to stop you buying as many as you want. You click the line underneath that says, "fast track.......". They cost 10,000 per ton, so 10,000 tons will cost 100 million. Pnce you get level 5, 50 t are free every half hour, which should reduce your future costs by about 10%. That means it costs about 45 million a week to maintain level 5, but you get 50 million back.

I heard cleaning commanders from the cage outside stations was quite profitable .. always plenty of work available

The fix is in the architecture. So if FD wants to change it they can only do so on a major release. You have to change the concept behind.
As long as missions are generated from local client there is no real fix for it.

Trading in T-9 can be actually nice. With a decent trade route at 4000 C/t you can make almost 2 mil per round trip.
I would say you can do 4-5 trips per hour. If you need higher protection then Anaconda with less cargo or Cutter witch much more cargo but booth are more expensive.
At my route i make 12-15 Mil per hour in Cutter, depending how fast i am and how many other players use the wares i buy.
