Pirate massacre missions.
Mining (nerfed recently but still good).
Robigo's not fantastic, but still a steady risk free run.

Thanks, is that it? lol
Welcome back ! Cmdr.
Always a pleasure to see an Cmdr come back to the great family of the Elite.

Robigo passenger missions is the easiest and most predictable. You make 100+ mil per hour using a shieldless Python with a bit of engineering or 60+ mil/hr using an unengineered shieldless T6. If you did the old smuggling missions, you'll already be allied, otherwise use Road to Riches on the way out there to collect astro data that you can sell on arrival to get allied. You need about 6 million worth of data for that.

I've never done, nor even looked into, this Robigo thing :d
Perhaps I ought to!

Welcome back Commander!
Yep, there’s no real cash cows any more, and a number of different activities tend to pay about the same 60M-100M max.
I actually think FD have got this about right now.
Depending on you preference, and current status;-
The good thing now is you can do whatever you want, and the money’s about the same, no matter what. So just... enjoy!

Depending on you preference, and current status;-
- Robigo passenger runs in a Python
- Trading in a Cutter (best routes)
- Mining platinum or painite
- Stacked massacre missions (must be allied to multiple minor factions)

Nah! It’s passengers.
Worst. Guide. Ever.
I am relatively new and found core mining can get me around 100 million for an evenings worth of playing. That seems pretty good to me.
The only thing I've found is I only have the patience for 128t of mining and it is worth trying to jump to far off places to get a better deal.
(I've not done Robigo).

Core mining is a very mixed bag... Apparently you need a lot of patience and a certain startup time to learn the ropes. I tried it a couple of times and failed spectacularly. Searched for hours in double hotspots and when I finally found a core it was Brommelite. The same time spent laser mining (Painite) would have made 100s of Mil easily.
Anyway... Nowadays it's very simple to make money. Literally anything will do. After the recent changes, combat is actually one of the most profitable activities.

It's just a method of farming credits. The first run might be interesting, but at 5 runs an hour, that soon wears off. You also can get a lot of good grade 5 materials.
