    General Reducing the price of maintaining an aircraft carrier.

    When I go in on Thursday I see a notification that the payment for the aircraft carrier has been withdrawn. I suggest you do it as a billing statement. Going in on Thursday I pay this invoice in time and I am charged only 50% of the payment (all this is automatic, going into the game is a...

    In the market for some data material, Happy to negotiate.

    Hi there y'all, I'm just looking for some assistance with the procurement of some odyssey data. Having finally gathered all the manufactured materials I require, I'm pretty beat and hitting a brick wall at this point from all the grinding so I figured I'd throw up buy orders for the following...

    Newcomer / Intro New Players! Care to make some credits? Put forth the effort, you'll make quite a bit!

    My carrier is about to start trade runs, with the intention to make as many credits as possible for both the pilots and the carrier. For the moment, the carrier Universum Viatorem is currently in the Giryampi system. Here is how the system works. Before anyone asks, it is a fully legitimate...

    How much do you think the average salary of the average citizen is?

    how much do you think the ordinary middle-class citizen earns per year (in credits)? i think the lore somewhere mentions that 1cr = $50, and also that the average middle-class family can afford a sidewinder. but if we take the current us average of $56,310 and convert it to credits we get...

    Investment Opportunities as Money Sink

    I have all the ships I want to own and 9 years of maintenance funds on my Fleet Carrier and the credits just keep piling up. There are commanders that are far richer than I am too. I think there should be optional money sinks to waste credits on. Here's a few ideas I have come up with. Mini...

    Discuss: Subsurface Mining could use a tad bit higher numbers

    As the title suggests. According to FDev the tier list for income of mining activities is: Laser < Abrasion < Subsurface < Core. And every time I tried my hand at Subsurface stuff, the yield and price of the commodity as well as the general hassle of low ammo and constant struggle with the...

    DC vs Laser Mining

I typically jump on EDDB right before I launch and check the market to see what...

    General Replace 50 Million Credit Mission Cap with RNG Range

    One of the side effects of the much welcomed rebalancing is the increase in the number of missions that hit the 50 Million Credit reward cap. Although a minor issue, I personally think the number of these missions available now on some Mission Board instances aesthetically reduces the...

    Discussion NPC Fighter Pilots Broken System

    So I played the game from release on PS4, and recently got back into it on PC. Worked up and got me a fighter bay installed on my Anaconda, all pumped to be back up to the Conda. Goto a station and see the ty percentage "profit" takes on NPC pilots. Why is this still a thing? They should...

    The path to one trillion credits

    I was browsing Inara, and stumbled across the "#1 profile" in the Inara rankings (here: https://inara.cz/cmdr-credits/7004/?page=5). A Cmdr Marz - who has 1.2 Trillion credits. His work ethic is legendary - routinely earning 15-20 Billion credits a week. My question is...how? Is this the...

    Making Money in Multicrew

    How does one do it? My crewmate has accompanied me for exploration, mining, and selling wares, and she never gets any credits from any of these things. Does she have to actively run a turreted mining laser to get a cut of the LTD / Tritium action? Or is multicrew "tithe" broken for fleet...

    What's the bare minimum?

    I'm closing in on being able to afford a fleet carrier, thanks to both hard work (hauling Tritium) and the VERY GENEROUS DONATIONS of other CMDRs (see my signature). I should reach 5 billion this week. My original goal was to acquire 6 billion before buying a FC, to ensure I have the extra...

    Why Sale of Engineered Modules should be Allowed

    Allow players to sell engineered modules to stations or to other players via fleet carriers for high prices. If someone wants an engineered module but doesn't want to collect materials and engineer it themselves, they can go to someone's carrier and buy the module ready there. It's a win-win...

    Borann is the WORST thing to happen to ED in a long time!

    To contrast my other thread of mine about the lovely pirating opportunities that Borann brought to the game, I'm now encountering one of the major flaws of Borann (and perhaps mining in general) - the devaluation of credits. Things that used to make feel like I accomplished something no longer...

    Dear Frontier, can you help me?

    I am aware of the ability to transfer credits from PS4 to PC. Having preordered the game on PS4 and played many hours on that platform before recently switching to PC, I have a lot of wealth on PS4 between my two CMDRs there. The thing is, I elected not to wipe my PS4 saves and transfer my...

    End-game income alternatives: What if we could invest in Factions?

    I've been thinking about the upkeep costs of fleet carriers. It seems like upkeep adds a sense of management pressure into the owner's real life. I think I'm alright with the current upkeep figures and how it works (not 100% sure yet), but, what if we could invest in and earn passive income off...

    Reconsider Player to Player Transactions

    Too Many Currencies

    "Blaze your own trail"
