The rewards for these trips, depending on the distance, can be million credits in my experience. Passenger missions seem somewhat profitable, but also very time consuming if I accidentally pick the «wrong» passenger. But, the payouts depend on where you go, and if you get back safely. Same applies to some of the harder-to-find cargo runs at the edge of the Bubble. Asked 2 years, 8 months ago.

Mass Transport Missions
Elite Dangerous is unique in that there is no leveling system. The only restraint is your amount of credits, and once you have the credits to get yourself that perfect ship, you can do anything you want. This is new player friendly. Tedious, I know, but worth it. I started out flying an Asp Explorer. Three days later, I am in command of a fully fit Anaconda worth million credits.

Thread starter CooterCrickets87 Start date Jan 4, You also are new and are still learning the game keep it simple as possible any tips for an aspiring adventurer are appreciated. Assuming you’re still in LHS in your sidewinder: — upgrade to the best frame shift drive that you can currently afford — hop over to Scorpii Sector GR-W c and scan with the FSS all the planets that you can find there — hop top Bennet Orbital in Kigana you’ll need to be at east 20 ly away and sell your exploration data.
Sell your exploration data there, then either buy one expensive or collect swap the fuel scoop for a SRV a hold full of Meta Alloys. Sell all of the Alloys bar one, get back the scoop and fly back to Deciat. Chris Simon. Provided you’ve done the «Welcome mission» and got your 10k Credits, go to outfitting and buy D-rated modules. They are lighter and allow your ship to jump longer distances.
Sell you guns. That will make traveling around much easier. Move a couple of jumps from your starting system especially if you’re playing in Open Pick a station that you like, and look for courier data missions. The fact that you’re transporting data instead of cargo means that you won’t lose jump range, which, in a base Sidewinder, isn’t really good. Be sure to always return to «your» system for next batch of missions.
It’s important, because as you gain reputation with local factions, the mission rewards skyrocket to surprising heights. Another thing you could do If you didn’t sell your guns is to find a Resource Extraction Site Any except Hazardousfly around a find a bunch of cops killing pirate ships. Keep close and «steal» their kills by shooting the pirate just before they die. Though this activity, although quite safe, brings a couple of dangers, like getting wanted if you shoot an innocent ship or a cop instead, or getting dead in general if you aggro pirates on you.
I was making spare change until I bought a ships kit for my Cobra and made it look sexy, now, money is rolling in.
Buying a ships kit brings you luck. Tyres O’Flaherty. In hindsight, I would’ve made myself allied with all factions in any given system asap. While it’s not a quick win, it doesn’t take too long and mission payouts really soar. I love the way you ask people to give you answers that are as simple as possible — then get all sorts of complicated stuff like buying D modules, uprating your FSD and jumping stupid distances.
I’m guessing you haven’t got a clue what a D rated module is and don’t really want to travel mega distances to get paid. The simplest answer is to do data transfer runs. They don’t take up cargo space and are widely available. Without a cargo you are less likely to be attacked en route. Search the missions board and you may get several going to the same vicinity — which will boost your profit margins.

If you want simple answer your question has to be complicated and thought-through. How to earn money The simple answer for OP’s question would be «Use google». I fail to see an Edit post button. Typos galore. As long as you’re still in the starter Sidey, make as many mistakes as you want — the replacement is free.
It only becomes expensive once you start upgrading or buy a different ship. As for the «Edit» button: if it isn’t at the bottom of your post, then you’ll need a bit more rep before the mods ok, the forum software lets you off the leash.
CooterCrickets87 said:. Yes I have done a little research and watched some videos. I know there has been many updates to the game and certain things have changed in profitability since launch moat of the beginners guides are old I just didnt want to get myself setup to do something that was no longer profitable. This game is vast and figured asking folks that have been around would provide some good ideas.
Right now it looks like data transfers are the safest way to go. I plan on stetting up the Sidewinder for decent travel abilities and equip a good scan and fuel scoop and heat sink. I only have a couple hours in game so far.
Been doing mostly training and research to keep myself out of trouble and minimize my noob mistakes. I know there has been many updates to the game and certain things have changed in profitability since launch moat of the beginners guides are old Mo Ronik.
I believe the «Road to Riches» is still viable to make decent credits with little investment other than a capable ship Mo Ronik said:. As suggested in here, get away from the starter system and if you are inclined, find yourself a home base to run out of.
Check the various systems you deliver to and you’ll find a place you are comfortable at. A good location would be a big orbital station with a good selection of ships in the shipyard and modules in the outfitting. Then every 3rd or so mission take the reputation instead of the credits. As your reputation increases so will the mission availability and rewards.
Invest in. I chose the Aphra system and home base is the Beckman Terminal as it ticked most of the boxes I was looking. I’m sure you’ll find a place that does the same for you. Be cautious of the strategic data delivery or sensitive poll data missions as they sometimes include «enemy ships are being sent out after you» messages. The enemy ships are not your enemy but those of the mission giver and they are intent on destroying you so the mission fails.
It’s all in big fun evading the attackers and completing those missions because it adds an extra element of excitement to the game. I’ve been playing now for just over 3 months and so far I’ve managed to purchase and outfit 9 ships. I’ve also made probably every mistake a new person can make and so will you.
Be sure to have a good laugh over it and have fun out there And welcome to the great family of the Elite! Fly safe. Good advice. Im doing data run missions now and am happy with my progress so far. Upgraded the little sidewinder to give me more range and added a fuel scoop. I didnt even burn myself up topping off the tanks jumping from system to.
How did I ever not know about this game is make easy money elite dangerous me. Maybe it is just a little involved for the masses to hype. Dharrch Streynjer. HI Cooter. The fastest way to earn money in any ship is to join a group of players, or player minor faction that will mentor you. This will open up earning potentials of unimaginable scope. However before you go that route I advise staying as you are for a while and make the most of the steep learning curve that being a noob affords you.
Take the time to look around at all the avaible groups and in game player minor factions, the powers they serve and the systems they occupy and control, before choosing.
