The grind is real!

Do something else if you don't enjoy it?
Spent my first hour trying to deliver a cargo run to Ross 765, scanned 3 systems for about 10K total "on the way", allowed myself to get interdicted 6 times which all paid out around a 2K bounty (lots of them didn't even have shields on their ships), picked up my own bounty by mistake after shooting at a pirate first...and in the end I failed to deliver the cargo because of jump range so had to pay another fine.
It's been quite a bit different to my usual beta game tbh.

The problem is that he cannot afford to do anything else.
Early on the pirates are basically unshielded eagles and the odd sidewinder with shields. Anyone should be able to take them out in the startwinder without too much trouble. If you are in any way reasonable at dogfighting you should just let the interdictions roll in to start with while scanning and delivering cargo.
What about those who specifically do not want to engage in combat. Or happen to be in a Hauler or Type-6.
Exploration pays some good money. Just do some scans, you don't have to detail scan every planet/moon.
This plus if you get ballsy there are some good bounties out there. Canned a 12k Asp earlier so that put me back in the money.
I'll be honest, when I heard we'd be starting with the traditional 100Cr, I thought "oh, this is going to take *forever*".
Nevertheless, started playing three hours ago - took some mass-hauling missions, just freighting 3 or 4 tons of scrap around in my Sidey. Scanned some planetary systems. Bounced off the edge of my jump range, remembered that I'm going to be stuck in the local cluster until I get more ship. Flew over to where my Freagle was parked, flogged it, just bought a hauler.
In three hours.
So, um.... YAY!!

Valid Point - started out in a system that wouldn't provide me with any missions I could take.
What I did was just head to the nav beacon, shot down a couple of wanted NPCs and Bingo - how fun
I see you a lot on here Tarman. You are always helpful. you sir are a good man!!
