How can i make money quickly without traveling a lot?

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!

HAve a good ship, in a hard area shooting ships and selling weps and items. In story line, no real way to make big bucks.

If you are playing SP, the fastest way to make money is:
New Berlin engine Components --> Yanagi Depot (Via Sigma-13 jumphole)
Yanagi Depot Cartimine --> New Berlin

The run takes less than 5 min. round trip. That includes docking, buying and mapping. With a decent fraghter you can make a butt load of money.
Hack your Junker rep to make things easyer.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

Well, if you're strong and feel like kicking some Bounty Hunter butt, you can head on down to Crete and take missions from the Corsairs. The missions are never more than 30-ish kilometers away...then again, if you don't have a great ship, you're going to get your butt kicked.

the quickest way is to kill gmg for the outcasts in beta
there are other areas that pay about the same with almost as good loot but in beta the missions are in general about 15 k out whereas alpha theta and gamma involve a bit more to get to the waypoint

I aren't a good fighter and this is for MP.
I once did a few missions (in SP, with the invincibility cheat on) in Reinland and they were 150k each.

Join a clan, embezzel money from them and quit.

If startign a new character

1. hit the wrecks in New York, flint especially
2. Raid the depots in New york that are near the Detriot trade lane - that also gives you Safe rep for lane hackers so you can then trade later.
3. hit the wrecks in Cali/cortez/shikoku

By this time you should have enough to buy a Dromedary, get it and then Do a single run from Manhattan to Auni in Hokkiado with Lux Goods and return to Rapongi in Tokyo with Cardamine, repeat Lux Goods - Cardamine from Rapongi to Hokkiado. 5-7 mins flight time each way with no-one hassling you expect for the odd lane hack or human pirates.

Once you have made 2mil head off for you ship of choice, this takes on average 2hours maybe 3 if no wrecks are full.

Go stalking into Hamburg jumpgate. Attack every Zoner ship carrying Pharmaceuticals and sell them in Hamburg. Law enforcement doesn't care.

Post Sat May 22, 2004 12:49 am

But the Zoners do. It's not a good idea to get a bad rep with them - it's hard to fix it and means your travel through the outer systems is that much harder.
