Need assistance earning credits

Gary Tyson · Mar 12, 2015

Please help me, I am having huge problems trying to make some creds.

I tried trading but sometimes I made tiny tiny profits, sometimes I made losses. Tried bounty hunting but my combat skills are poor and my ship too weak.

I tried mining but it takes too long to earn much.

Please tell me how I can earn good credits please.
(I currently have a cobra and 42,493cr and that is after 2 months of play!!!)

Do some bulletin board missions, preferably the ones where they supply the goods (you can tell these as there is a fine for non delivery). Alternatively have a look at the third party trade tools, such as Slopey's BPC.

rare trading would be ideal for you, just search the forums you will find a lot of info how/where to rare trade.

or if you wish send me an in game friend request and i can provide you with some free cargo to get you started. i currently trade so we can wing up and make some additional profits as well; but my play time is currently a bit limited so no promises we can actually meet up...

Here you go buddy. As you have a cobra already so that is perfect to start trading rares. The link bellow has two very well optimised rare trade routes.

try trading, the amount of CR one can make is crazy high compared to any other profession.

two path ahead for fast earning:

aim for a type6 with 104T cargo and find a good route, for example mine nets me 200k / 10 minutes of profit

aim for a cobra and trade rare, search forum, there is several post about rare trading route

Here's a rare trade route I put together for a Cobra. You will need ~40T of cargo space and a fuel scoop for maximum efficiency but regardless you can make a lot of money very quickly.

Send me a friend request and when I on you can wing up and make some cash as a wingman to my type 7. I turn around about half a mil every 15 minutes min. You'd be on 5% wing bonus plus whatever you can carry yourself. My CMDR name is the same as it is here.

Keep practicing your combat skills at nav beacons and res's. It will extend the game life for you when trading burns you out. This might mean getting a flight stick or, at least, a game controller.
