I've now been playing a couple of days, and now I am curious what you think is the fastest way of making money, I tried selling trading goods, cartographic info which is quite okay, but the easiest, I think, is doing bulletin board assignments, illegal or not... I am not really a bounty hunter, so I don t know how good that is.... I want to go mining too but I have no refinery yet..
Easiest way of making money?
- Thread starter SuperSharpShooter
- Start date
Not trading.
Equip a kill warrant scanner - find an anarchy system and fly to the nav point. Scan down ships that arrive there and kill the ones with bounties- easiest money I ever made. Even easier if you get a group of 3 or 4 people to do it with you
Got my first KWS today and decided to give it a spin at an Anarchy nav beacon. Somehow managed to make 100k by killing a few nasties! I don't think I'll use bounty hunting as my main career, but it's a nice sideline to have!
I don't know.. I made a few million yesterday, no missions..just trading. That's the most cash I've made in such a short time since launch... If you get a good trade route, it can be very tedious, I mean..profitable
Yes... With trading I finally reached the 100.000. I now trade in tabacco en marine equipment... Between two systems...

Not in a small ship, but once you hit cobra and up trade is easily the fastest.
Get to the nicley fitted Cobra and start camping asteroid belts - lots of wanted guys spawning and you can make money fast.

I got a train of ASP `s with 15-30.000 bountys today and made 600.000 in three trips into the planet ring
Trading on a good route is the most profitable way to make money, at least once you sit in a type-6. Before type-6 it's probably running trade missions (the fetch type is usually better than deliveries). But 'ratting' in excavation sites can be profitable too and fun. Did that in a fairly well combat equipped Adder and later in a Cobra. Confilct zones are a waste of time. 3000cr per voucher is laughable compared to the bounties you get from easier killable wanteds in excavation sites plus thats a lot faster than getting baddies in USS's.
I usually try to find a good trade route and pick up fetch quests. If the trade route doesn't include the fetch quest items then i just collect them for a while and do them bulk wise which is more effective. For example if the trade route doesn't include an agricultural, then just collect the fetch food quests and once you have a couple or get close to end of your session then do them all at once.
Also Federation space is a catastrophe for trading. Get out of it ASAP unless you want Fed faction or ranks. The reason is that you find constantly hybrid stations that combine industrial/refinery or hightech/refinery which kills the best trade options. The best pairing is trade between a pure hightech (consumer technology, performance enhancers, resonating separators) and a pure refinery or refinery/extraction (high priced metalls like palladium, beryllium, gold, indium, silver and superconductors). Haven't found a single of these combos in Fed space.
