money

Hello Everyone, Its been a crazy week with all thie gold rushes and easy money making bugs...so this is definitely a symptom of a bigger problem with the game on how it rewards it players for their time. Quick story time: Yesterday i was doing boom data deliver missions that are one of the...

Hello, I would like to have some tips and info on how to earn some good money. I have been doing trades, and then passengers mission, but it doesn't get me much money everyday. Thank you to answers.

https://youtu.be/qgettBYx02A Ladies and gentlemen, I present "The Voly-boom run" -----------NERFED------------ Step1: go to 31 Beta Leonis minoris -> seddon rech Step2: get a CHEAP ship , non large ship and equip it with DUMBFIRE missiles and a shield! Step3: move to Volynov colony station...

The missions pay little and when they pay a lot of example missions of 22 million and need to jump 22,000 light years, practically 1 million a light year, this is ridiculous, not to mention the extremely expensive items to buy for the ships in the stations and how to buy if the game does not...

Hi, I have a void left by X3 that is not filled by elite but i would love it to be so. Namely A stock exchange. Elite hase a set number of commodities with a set galactic average and a fluctuating value, it would be a dream feature to be able to buy options or stock in a commoditie to sell whem...

You won't hear it on Galnet, you won't get more than a hint of it on YouTube, but yet there it is. Much like the flu outbreak in this country, it is there; unable to compete with such headlines as "Thargoid pays hush money to ****star", but lethal in it's own right nonetheless. We are all...

So I've got about 850+ hrs on Elite, been playing of the last couple of years, and honestly I can say that FDev shutting down money makers is one of the most realistic things about this game. When a particular market is too good for too long there's a bubble, a few people get rich, and then it...

One of the side effects of the algorithm for rewarding passenger missions based upon the arrival point distance was that it killed off the commodities trade for many commanders. Thus, imho, when the algorithm returns it needs to apply to prices on the Commodities Market as well. CMDR Justinian...

TL;DR: Combat seems to not earn enough compared with other activities (listed below). Is there a way of making it more profitable? Hi everyone, Are combat missions, bounty hunting and combat bonds really underpaying right now? Around a week ago, my experience with ED was mostly combat oriented...

Last night, I did the Robigo Run for the first time in almost a year and a half! I love smuggling. I have tons of money and all the ships in the game, yet all I wanna do is smuggle. I took about a year and a half off from Elite (I love the game and was having fun, but just got too busy in...

Hey pilots. I was thinking for a while about how galactic economy works. I was first playing E: D with (don't laugh) Spice and Wolf in mind – a story about two smart people using their wit to turn in some tasty profit. So I did cargo runs, and deliveries, and smuggling, tried piracy (heh) and...

I've been informed about the RHEA money making method. This gets me around 200 million credits per hour at the moment, give or take. Even when I first started doing it, when I was not even allied, it was around 15-30 million per trip. Is this the biggest money maker so far in ED or could you...

Hey Commanders So, what hardware are you/will you be using for ED? Pros and cons? Personally, I'm buying a rig, just for this one game. I started out thinking laptop, preferably Asus ROG, then went to desktop for better graphics options, and now I'm back at the laptop again, mainly because I...

I've been talking with Allen Stroud about the spelling. Seems in days of old (ie-Frontier), it was spelled Achenar: http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/Gazetteer/achenar.html However, there is no star named Achenar. There *is* an Achernar, though, which is what I always assumed was meant...

Hello everyone. Well what a ride it's been for several of us in the last few days. Glad to report everything is all good again.....anyway.......a question so many people have is Will ED have seamless planetary landings ? eg much like FE2/FFE so you can fly and land on a planet or maybe an...

Should Elite: Dangerous include a player avatar that can walk around the ship and enter spaceports etc..?
