Elite: Dangerous

[Tradesonred]

Do you have advice on the best way to make money if im sitting on like 1mil and a cobra right now? I enjoy blowing pirates up more than trading but i could see myself doing trading for a while if i can make a shit ton more money through that and have accumulated money to go pvp in open play later on.

Resource Extraction Sites if you just want to earn money, or get involved in community goals if you want to get more for your buck. At the moment, there's a war up in 78 Ursae Majoris in preparation for the President's arrival. The main faction, the one I suppose, Alioth Independents, they are killing off a weak faction who was looking to disrupt the President's journey.

Although the bounty hunting CG is over, the war zone one isn't over for another 2 days. If you fight in the war in a conflict zone, earn cash, and cash in combat bonds, you will get a couple million in reward in a few days.

Now if you want to be a bounty hunter to raise cash, get out of the cobra. Get a Viper. Faster, more maneuverable, and strong. I personally prefer just Laser weapons (although they do less damage to direct hull), so I'd go 2x Size 2 Pulse, and 2x Size 1 Pulse.

Get good Thrusters. That's essential. They make you turn faster, and move faster.

Go to a RES, and kill people who are wanted. You'll get a lot of income. In about a half hour, I earn around a million credits. Work that up to a Vulture. With a Vulture, you'll obliterate tons of stuff.

Trading is safe money. Bounty Hunting is still effective money. I wouldn't do trading unless you want to chill and listen to an audiobook.

See my last post. Add me on Steam and in game, and I'll hunt with you for a bit.

Thinking about it, part of my problem with doing Res sites is that the brown and black asteroid make my computer stutter, its a known issue. Havent been able to find another belt with another type of asteroid in it which kills my fun a bit.

Curious:

What is the multi-player like?

I have yet to even launch the game in that mode.

You have a chunky link uteu that explains some of the stuff you can get involved in the game? Regarding factions and the upcoming 1.3 patch but other stuff as well? Ill be available to play tonite if you feel like it

Full PvP. Be ready to kill and be killed if you're in any high population area, like the Lave Cluster. Same with any CG locations.

If you want a non-PvP experience, search the private groups for "Mobius". That's a pure PvE private group one can play in.

Nope, I don't do video updates for ED. I'll be around. Just send me a message.

Hmm..I should buy a throw-away ship and check it out.

Uteunayr, how do you find CGs? From the news events you see at stations?

[Uteunayr]

Yup, you check the GalNet, and read up on where stuff is going down.

There's also this thread: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=113495

The OP there maintains it so all new CGs are listed there, and an archive of the history of them is there too.
