Unengineered AFK build

[CMDR ROGER]

Self explanatory title
I figure it would be helpful to every wanna-be billionaire playing this game if we could throw together an AFK PVE ship capable of racking in credits while cutting out the hassle of engineering it, which is why I challenge this forum to build an AFK ship with 0 engineering.
Impress me

 

[LeoBartlet]

Why?

 

[Darth Ender]

Why?

Unimpressive. You question your Lord? You're lucky he's feeling generous today. Now make his ship!

 

[Caydran]

38 of them already exist in game. All with zero engineering. Just don't touch the keyboard (AFK) when using any of them.

All done.

Do I win something?

Here's a build for you, cheap and disposable.

It works well, I managed to gather enough credits with it to buy a new ship

If not playing the game is your thing, there's an uninstall button that works really well. Yes, I'm trolling. I went there.

With a controller or a HOTAS, you can always play the game AFK.

Now there’s a cause that will surely get everyone’s help.

Well, you need the Free Anaconda from Hutton Orbital. Better get two of them, so you can glue them together. Twice the Firepower.

To play a fun game during that 24 hours rather than spend an hour grinding.

A few years back there was a pretty well researched post detailing how some one created a bot army of scripted T6s. Apparently they were programmed to do simple trade loops for hours or days. If pointless endeavors to abuse your intellect are satisfying, maybe you could track down that nefarious individual and get some tips.

True AFKers AFK in a cutter.

Pretty sure Xbox Commander Deavo has made one using the Type 10 as the base. Should be able to find it on his channel.

AFK where?

In a nav beacon with 1t of something in your cargo hold... it might work.

AFK in a CZ without engineering? I'd say no. You'd return to the rebuy screen.

The question is, why would you want to AFK? Credits are easy these days, and you won't be grabbing any materials while AFK. Its a waste of electricity.

Why stop after that? If you're having more fun with that game than Elite, why would you come back to Elite once you have enough credits to triviliaze the fun and challenge out of the game?

Is grinding the fun and challenge of ED? There are some good things in this game, but the grind certainly isn't part of them. The best way to experience ED is to minimize the grind as best as you can, and when you run out of things that aren't grind, move on.

Goodness me. Is playing the game that bad?
