:: WAYS TO MAKE QUICK AND EASY BUCKS! ::

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

:: WAYS TO MAKE QUICK AND EASY BUCKS! ::

At the beginning of the game when the hunt for Sean Ashcroft is on, proceed with orders from King and wait for "Ashcroft" at the mouth of the tradelane. Once you find a unidentified DSE carrying artefacts and start shooting at him, he'll start swearing about calling his lawyers and you just found out that he isn't Ashcroft. Once you got new waypoints to proceed on to Pueblo Station, kill the unidentified chatterbox and tractor his alien artefacts (x20) ( these can fetch 1,282 credits on Planet Manhattan or 270 credits on Battleship Missiouri )

The catch is that, once you leave the battleship and a naval officer scans your cargo, run like hell to manhattan and try to avoid contact or even sight with police or naval fellas to prevent them from hunting your a** and preventing you from docking in Manhattan. Once at Manhattan sell your artefacts and Kah Ching! Money Money Money very funny.

I have an even better way! After the first mission go to co ordinates : 6C in the badlands, shoot up the wreck Flint tractor up the Cardamine, go to Manhatten and sell for a cool 30 grand. Now thats money.
Ah, I love Cardamine....

I've tried shooting that guy for his cargo before, and kept defaulting on the game ('you've destroyed a neutral target'). Thanks for the tip there... I didn't know that he's fair game after you get the new waypoint.

Killzone : I can't seem to find the wreck Flint, i've tried it twice, once with my old saving and even with starting a new game and heading over to the badlands. i cant find the wreckage. How do the wreckages look like and how do i identify em? which part of the 6C sector is it in?

BTW yeah, i only killed the fella once i get to pueblo station. I havent tried killing him before getting the waypoints.

Tixor: Just set multiple waypoints in 6C, yourll find it eventually. Its surrounded by a radiation field though. Its a very battered looking Dagger, and has 20 Cardamine in the hold. When you get under 10ks from it, it will appear in your scanners SOLAR section. Hope the helps.

i've also found out another way to make quick bucks thru smuggling without getting pursued by those pesky police officers. namely cardamine, alien organisms and alien artefacts

1. Use those warp hole thingies (forgot whats the word anyway whats the opposite of jump hole?)

2. Try to fly as high above police, naval officers when you see them, try not to even make eye contact with the officers.

3. If pursued, run for your life, if you managed to afterburner or cruise your way pass around 2-3 tradelink lengths, the police officers will disperse and will not come after you again.

4. Another way to run from the police is to proceed into dust fields, astroid fileds, visibility is at minimum and chances are that attacks by baddies found in the area are rather rampant and consitent.

Just my 2cents worth hope it helps
