ARX generation methods

Is anyone working on a study of different ways of “playing the game“ vs how much ARX is generated? I have searched (not extensively) and haven’t seen anything yet.

Yesterday I made 146 ARX. But i’m not sure exactly how because I had been storing up xplo data from around the bubble for a week or so as well as roughly $15M in bounties. Turned them in and saw no ARX. I didn’t know at this point that you have to relog to see ARX earnings. What a frustrating mechanic. Anyway I did several missions of various types with no apparent ARX. Then I relogged due to RLI and I saw my total. I propose we collectively post what we learn about ARX earnings with data.

Relog before and after gameplay to validate ARX is only from a certain action
State what you did
State how many credits you earned
State how long it took
State how many ARX earned

Then we can zero in on an ARX generation reference showing activity vs time vs ARX.

What say you?
 
I say read other threads :)

6+ hours of Exploration gave me 5 ARX so far, 3 of which came from Scanning 2 Geological Sites and scooping up Polonium.

Nothing worth to bother with it appears when it comes to Exploration. I'll hit my weekly cap of 400 maybe by end of the year ;)
 
I seem to have 13 Arx - all I did was fly from Maia to a station with outiftting and switch ship a couple of times while trying to figure out how broken the Livery stuff is. I raised the Livery issue on the Issue Tracker - maybe that earned me a few Arx too :)
 
Last night, I launched into open after the update. Ship was in local space in Psi Octanis (had dropped into a threat 4 weapons fire on Tuesday and found nothing, and ended up not bothering to return to Gernsbach immediately).

So, proceeded to Gernsback, turned in my bounties (800k worth), repaired, refueled, rearmed, bought two limpets. Headed back to the Compromised Nav Beacon, blew up a half dozen ships, collected mats from each with limpets. SLF was deployed and picked up one of the kills. Returned to Gernsback, turned in maybe 300k in bounties, refueled, rearmed, bought 3 limpets.

All of that resulted in 12 ARX. 7 for combat, 1 for trade, and 4 for exploration.

Tonight I'll break up the session into smaller chunks to try to figure out what actions result in what points.
 
Farming encoded mats + travel to and sale of explore data to/from mat trader + mat trading has gotten me 165 arx for on and off play today, 3 hours max or so
