Newcomer / Intro Rapid Start through Combat

Combat rewards have just been buffed by a factor between 4 and 10. Before the buff, as a rank beginner, with no skill or experience, you could make between 1 and 2 million credits per hour, so now it's up to about 5 to 10 million an hour. That's using the basic Sidewinder with pulse lasers. Upgrade anything you like except the lasers and the bad guys won't even shoot back if you do it right, but there are rules you need to follow to stay safe. I made a detailed explanation about how to do it in the video below. One you've figured out how it all works, you can get a Vulture and have some fun. Don't get the Vulture until you can fully upgrade it, else you'll be looking to buy another one very soon. Back in my channel is a vid on how to outfit and use the Vulture as a beginner.

You don't see the revised bounties when you blow up the ships. You get the multipliers added when you cash them in.

Don't worry if you sucked when doing the combat tutorials. This is very safe as long as you follow the rules.
Start at about 42:00

I just tried it with a reset back to start. At the starter station, sell your weapons and shields, then plot a route to Chambo. When you get to Chambo, scan the system with your FSS, then head to Deb Orbital to refuel. Don't do anything else there or you might get locked out of the noob zone. After refuelling head to Dromi to hand in your starter mission at Mawson Dock, sell the astronomic data for Chambo to get about 60k credits. That has the advantage of making you friendly with the main faction, which turns the cops green and makes it much easier to fogure out what's going on in the RES. Use the money to buy gimballed pulse lasers and shields, then upgrade all your main modules to D grade.

Next, head out to the high RES and help the police kill the bad guys.

Using that method, I had 11.5 million credits after 2 hours and 4 minutes from start. That's enough to get a high spec Diamondback explorer ship, A full spec Vulture and more than enough to get a T6 miner.
