Much and fast easy money? One answer: USS

Hello commanders :)

At the beginning, it's all not easy. I started cargo missions, and always earned between 3k and slowly sometimes 13k...

After a while I thought, let's try something else. the Cargo missions have that icon with a cargo piece and an arrow designed on it... the new type of missions I was going to try, had 3 little cargo pieces as icon: a very tiny one, a big one, and one inbetween those, I'm sure you see which one I mean :)

So, no killing needed? No, just 'searching'. Searching? Where? How? Easy.... heading to the system, the claimed piece(s) are supposed to be. I came out of the jump just in front of the star as usual, and here it's where it starts.

When you fly in supercruise faster, you'll always loose a hell of time slowing down, approaching the appearing USS and drop out. Now, less time consuming is following:
btw, if you have a fuel scoop, start scooping, then drop your speed to lowest one (30Km/s) whilst scooping fuel, if no scooping (needed), just lower the speed, slow it down to max (30km/s).

As this time you're at LOW speed (supercruise, remember!), check out for USS popping (simpliest way to not oversee them, look at your navigation panel on left side. As soon as one comes to sight, it's already DROP-out-of-SUPERCRUISE time after locking the USS of course. So here, no timeloss at all, as you don't need to approach it and lower your speed etc....

Now, other anti-timeconsuming trick: do this a few times (search-find), even if you found what you were searching for. Why? Because new USS might drop again that part you were searching for, so you'll get it more than needed for mission clearance.

Now back to station, to give the cargo to the mission starter! Now you've cleared your mission and got some money for it, DO NOT SELL on black market the stuff you've found in add on. Why?? Because if now a new mission asks you to retrieve that part you've got already, it's very easy to : accept that new mission, and... give out the cargo immediately, as you already got it. Easy money :)

A glitch for me which is a bit unlogic, but as long as it works, why not :) :)

Hope you enjoied, and hope it was clear enough :) If not, I might do a little video with how to operate :)
 
Yes, USS are the easy way to make money early on. Basically speaking, no matter what you do you can hardly fail to make money with them.
 
It should be noted, especially for new pilots, that these are stolen cargo, and for as long as you fly around with them while waiting for another similar mission, you'll have to be very careful not to get scanned when docking at major faction stations (fed, empire). Going in cold and silent will be a must.
 
I dont think going in silent is a must at all.. i have yet to be fined for stolen cargo once via stations.. When you pop out of SC, just go about 8km away and get around to the front of the station.. then, line 'er up and head on in.. no dropping shields, no worrying about heat.. nothing.. they simply dont have time to scan you by the time your in the door.. just dont f-up the approach ;) around that distance you can get a docking number as well.. so just pay attention to the door and go..

even if you get scanned, it still taked 4-8 second for them to complete it.. and by that time your already through the mailslot.
