money

Seriously?? Why did you take them from us. Look I get wanting to increase prices when you updated the store and whatever, that didn't bother me. What bothered me was suddenly losing like 2/3rds of the more 'basic' paintjobs overnight. We're all passionate ship builders in this game, and a lot...

Curious as to why only your CC and animals in the trade centre cross over to your new franchise zoo but not your money?

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...

At a guess how much is this lot worth?

Good morning. As you all know we just got a bunch balances passes in the last year for money. Now FDev said, those might not be the final numbers and that further tweaks might be coming. But since we haven't heard so far any news on that front, I thought we could get the ball rolling again. So...

Hello Cmdrs, Just a simple question: Which makes more money per hour spent in the rings? I am currently Deep Core Mining in a python as my primary source of income when I want to spend a chunk on a new ship/upgrades. I typically jump on EDDB right before I launch and check the market to see what...

Greetings commanders o7 ! Since now, I apologize for the bad English, I'm from South America (Brazil) and I'm still learning. I have over 500 Elite hours, most of them as a cargo merchant of all kinds (including smuggler) and I have a suggestion to foster the range of possibilities when it...

First of all let me acknowledge the difficulty of this task that the devs have to do. In the current system it's too easy to make money with bounties as a low ranking player and it falls of very quickly as you get better and better ships. I would like to start this discussion by pointing out...

I will give you money for a social area on my carrier. It makes sense that we can't have ship interiors with Oddesy at launch. Thats a lot of space to model and not much content to go with it. Carriers are different. They are natural activity hubs with squadrons. They have a built in delay...

Okay I've installed the new update and DLC and now my Franchise zoo is taking a massive hit for some reason. My money dropped from 250k to currently 75k within 10 minutes of me playing and trying to fix whatever problems their may be. I've upped the price of tickets (since the guests were...

hey, so i alread have type 9 for cargo missions and a python for mining. Currently im outfitting an Anti-Xeno ship, wich means i need lots of money. What are the best methods currently used to make credits? Thanks for the help.

I have already opened this thread elsewhere, but I think I did it where it was not correct and they have removed it. My proposal is to make the most attractive open game. For a couple of weeks now I have been testing the PVP pirate role and I have noticed that when trying to assault a cargo...

Hey I was wondering if anyone can help. I’ve been playing franchise mode this week to breed elephants for the challenge. I started a new zoo with animals traded in, money was rolling in fast and then suddenly my money plummets to over £100,000 and I can’t seem to reign it back. I have bred lots...

I have two point: * Franchise zoos need to share money with each other as it is a franchise; what's the point of franchise if you can't share the money among franchise zoologists? * And we need a faster method to transfer animals from one zoo to another. It is tiring and boring to have to go...

Every single time when i come back to read what is new in this game i got disappointed (except "Horizons"). Every single time i expect new content to play and there in no content only some broken functions and fixes that should have been fixed long time ago. How other games can deliver new...

Despite the game's focus on conservation, the financial side has a very theme park like mentality. Guests are the sole source of revenue, and you must cater for all their needs, which are pretty unrealistic for a zoo. E.g. shops every 50 meters, seeing only 5 specific animals, the will to not...

The last three zoos (1 is a career map) I have opened since the new patches all have issues with money. I'm currently in debt and can't get out of it. I have the minimum staff that is trained and can do everything, and I always get to 3-5 enclosures before the money to pay for staff and animal...

My zoo was very successful, and after the update, I begin to lose huge amounts of money without changing anything. Most of it is the cost of food and refunds, which were not a problem at all before the update. I currently lose 100,000 per 5 minutes, and before the update I used to get 50,000...

It is quite hard to make a steady income in the game. Basically there are two main expenses, staff, and animal food. I recon the amout of money going to animal food is not really in balance. Lower ther costs of food, it would make the game more accesible and it gives you more freedom to play...

As we *all run around worrying about money for a certain new ship that may be arriving in December I thought I'd ask how much of an issue is it, if it is billions to buy? Is there a list of CMDRs fortunes, maybe a published average of CMDRs current money on hand? If you're **mega rich let us...

Idk if this will fall on deaf ears but I wanted to throw a small suggestion. When transporting people you sometimes get a request from slavers to sell you the people you are transporting. They offer a way lower price and sometimes way out of the way. I think it would be a good idea if the...

Hello everyone I come here after being told by FD that it is better to type it down here instead of filing a ticket. So here it goes! Like many of you I like Elite. The thing is whenever I am able to devote the little time available I have for games I jump right into the game. I see a big...

Sadly planet coaster did not have this feature. But I would greatly appreciate it if we could have the option of using money in sandbox mode. I would like everything unlocked, but still have the challenge of building and maintaining my zoo with money. Any thoughts on this?

It would be nice, if you could put a bounty with your in game money on other players who killed you. The amount would be of the players choosing. If I like to have this person killed for 500 million it should be possible. Some people like me are traders. What do we have? Money. What can we get...

I have three ships; the iEagle, the iCourier, and the iClipper. I have about 2.4 mil left, the iEagle is "all A's" style except for a fast recharge shield, and I have a modified fast recharge shield, 2x MCs, and 1x Beam laser on the Courier. My preferred income has always been from some sort of...

When will it be possible for players to trade with each other?? Including modules, ships everything, some players could make a living out of engineering ships modules etc. The players who don't want to Grind for everything could buy some stuff from players. It would also bring players together...

I’ve seen people talk about it so I googled and I found something from alpha orbital. Is this the one y’all are talking about? And how much does it make from a run though?

This post is on behalf on a friend from many Discords Stoyben. He's not much of a forum dweller so on his behalf I will convey his ideas here. While we all look forward to the major improvements coming in future updates, some of the ideas here would work well with the game, and are worth...

The fact is, FDev has a history of failing to properly balance and incentivize both solo and especially multiplayer activities, and we have all seen this happen time and time again. Something pays too high to the wrong rank of player, and instead of redesign the mechanics of credit payouts to...

HI all ! I've been paying this great game for 2 days now and love it ! However I wanted to ask 2 questions, since I have noclue if it's how it meant to be, or is my game bugged. 1. On the 2nd Island once my finances reach to $5,122,317 money froze, literally I got unlimited tons of $$$ I am...

I personally feel when it comes to missions, you should get some sort of bonus money based on how valuable your ship is, like first, the initial price of the mission, Plus an extra 50% Rebuy cost money added. The more expensive your ship is the more money you will make through doing missions...

https://youtu.be/iM5C-kQB-uo This is my take on the topic and i bet rest of you also one or two things to say : so feel free to express yourselves!

Hey cmdrs, I was wondering if anyone has seen any more data delivery missions to colonia anymore? I know there were a bunch when 2.4 hit but I haven’t seen any since then. I wanted to pick up a few on my way out into the black since I plan on being out there a while and don’t want to take...

Elite Dangerous' update cycle and game balance is one of the most neurotic in gaming. They either fail to notice a glitch that causes extremely unbalanced payouts/exploitable payouts, or otherwise take a new fun, rewarding and enjoyable game mechanic and nerf it until it's no longer fun or...

I got some friends that are burned out from trade and want to do some combat. I don't mind but I want to earn some $ while doing it. We did some wing assassin missions, they're fun but I have a goal I want to reach so I was just wondering what the community suggest for money making while killing...
