35MCr+/hour(or lots of MEF,BIO,EFC) , no SRV, and pacifist approved :)

Planetary scan missions, you can do them anywhere !!!
(There are better paying methods out there, but this might be just right for some of you)

Once you're allied with all the mission givers(can be done with donations or missions) you start getting missions valued between 2 and 3MCr, stack these babies up and go scan them on the planet.
I am doing this for the mats, not the money. I have been stocking up with Biotech Conductors ,EFC and MEF.

NOTE : Currently if you get within 50m of the datapoint you can scan them from your ship !(remember to bind datalink scanner).
(even if FD changes the above,they are still excellent material gathering missions,but it will take you twice as long)

Take shielded ship as you will get attacked(I use DBX)
Don't take large ship(most of these are given from outposts)
Don't worry about going to Interstellar Factors for now,just land back at mission giving outpost and clear your bounty for that station,then hand mission in(you can also hand missions in with Anonymous Access).
Location wise, there are many out there. Mine is at a FED EXTRACTION Outpost.

My last example run:
Missions - 9
Time - 45
Location - GANG YUN, APPEL Outpost. It also has IF there ! (you can also do data delivery between GANG YUN & ZHANA)
Rewards - Total cash was 26MCr(I took huge pay cut for materials,each Material will cost you 500000Cr)

Getting them to spawn on the mission board is the hard bit. All the boards I visit are 75% kill missions that are either illegal or require a base assault to get the location.

It might be worth noting that even in the SRV, you hardly ever have to go into the red zone. Creep in tiny steps towards the datapoint at the closest point, and you will be able to scan before counting as an intruder. Once the scan is complete, its still all hell breaks loose though.

There are always plenty in Wuru, at the stations as well.

Correct. The purpose of my post isn't to highlight a golden (exploit) system,but that there are many near golden(legit) systems out there :)

p.s. I don't even know if scanning from your ship is as intended or a bug ?!?!

Personally I think 35 million credits per hour is wayyyyy to much to be making in this game. Honestly even 1 million cph is too much.
Plus you shouldn't even get data or mats for rewards. They should only be found in USS's that are super rare and may or may not show.

What should be the best ship for these missions (if I want to scan from the ship)? I did a lot of planetary scan back in the day (Quince included), but I never scanned from the ship. I presume something small (DBX, iCourier, Cobra)? Can you do it from any angle, or should you be almost landed and approaching from the horizontal?

Not a bug but not intended as well. Seeing how skimmer killing now require SRV deployed for skimmers to spawn I bet ship scanning isn't the "designed" way to do it.
IB4 mission removal for fixing.

Excuse my ignorance as never done these missions, but what are you exactly scanning on the Planet? and presumably once you scan you become wanted? and a Target?

Thanks

Is there a timer when you scan the datapoints for these missions (like 30 seconds to scan 3-4 datapoints) or is this different to regular base scans?

Thanks for the info but it seems like quite a lot of hassle for 35M an hour.

Even simple stuff like running data missions between sothis/ceos can net you that; You go to the station, pick up 20 boom/strategic data missions for ~70K each (that's 1.4m per hop) and if you're lucky most of them will be given mission updates with optional time rewards that will probably boost your net income to 3m/hop. Since a hop, handing in 20 missions and picking up 20 more takes about 5 minutes, that's 60m/hour without requiring anything fancier than a sidewinder.

As for the mats, most missions paying more than 1.5M will now offer MEF, BIO, EFC as an option, though I genuinely feel that if you need these items you can get more of them per hour by just looking for them in the relevant location/base scan etc and it's more varied than just jumping repeatedly between two stations - most of which is various types of loading bar, loading screen, whatever...

no, only one item to scan.

Are they still bugged with regard to all missions in the system becoming doable on the same planet as the first one?
Click to expand...

No,being able to do them on same planet wasn't the bug,scanning one location which finished off all your missions in one scan was the bug.
In my location all missions are on the same planet,but you still need to travel to each of them for one scan per mission.(scan,go up vertical,SC,go round planet to next location,glide,find location,scan,rinse,repeat)
