hello everyone,

i have been trying for the past week or so to try and establish i good place for me to do a few passenger runs for good money,
my problem so far is all the guides i find are pointing towards systems i am either nowhere near or are federation when i am empire pledged.

few people have said to use a website using my current system as a reference but that is just puzzling not quite sure

so question to anyone that can help me how do i use the eddb io to find runs in my system or does anyone know of any near my system that are empire Agastariya.

Many Thanks

Okay, I would work on the jump range of that ship, especially if you are wanting to run passenger missions and make good time. If you can get it over 30LY you are in a much better place.

I would then head to Mainani with economy cabins for passenger missions. Keep in mind, you will have to run data missions to Ngalin for a bit until you get the reputation up with all of the local factions.

After that, I can get passenger missions with two or three stops that only go out 100 - 300LY and pay in the area of 15 Million or better. With a high jump range, I can do those missions in very short order. It turns something in the neighborhood of 20 - 40 million per hour in my 46LY Asp.

So, keep in mind this will not be a combat ship...

Core Internals:
FSD = A-Rated
Power Plant, Thrusters, Life Support, Power Distributor = D-Rated

Optional Internals:
3D Shield Generator
5A Fuel Scoop
2E Cargo Rack
1D Intermediate Discovery Scanner (1A if you can afford it)
1C Detailed Surface Scanner
5E or 6E Economy Class Passenger Cabin

NO WEAPONS

1 or 2 Heatsinks - These are great when running missions with wanted passengers. Pop a heatsink as soon as you get the scan detected message and they will lose lock.

There are many other ways to configure the ship depending on what you want to do, but this setup will get you on the right track for longer ranges. I would spend some time engineering the FSD for even more distance.

so i should probably leave the pledge then, tbh that would make finding a system easier! there is one close that has been raved about but its independent so couldn't use it

I wouldn't worry about being pledged unless you are RP'ing a particular dislike for the feds. Stay with your pledge unless it becomes inconvenient.

The key to passenger missions...and I do a lot of them.....is destination super cruise distance. The real money makers (non exploit) are usually atleast 150,000ls out from the jump in star. Just go on EDDB and look for systems that have stations at least that far and then look for near by systems to work. That's how I found my current hotspot

You are about 68ly from LTT 8517 which has a few empire factions and stations 500,000ls+ from entry star.

Giltine is 22ly away and worth checking out.
