What I always do in most multiplayer situations is get an OK ship (patriot, drake, or banshee will do fine) and take it to the omicron systems, do a few of those 200+k missions init, buy a sabre or eagle, and keep doing them. But, it's not exactly 'quick' the missions take about 20 mins to complete if it's like a 250k mission (because of the crap weapons that the light fighters can carry) but you should be able to complete them without losing your shields (once)... but, agian, that's in a manueverable light fighter. I don't reccomend flying a heavy bulky fighter, unless you got extremely nice shields and good arsenal.
tho I wouldn't suggest you try that on the elite server, you'll end up getting your ass kicked by someone in an eagle there
or if you're not a good enough pilot for that, or can't get to the omicrons without getting ate up by radiation or killed by other players, TRADE. LIKE MANY OTHERS. Or pirate, or find your own way of quick cash. But don't cheat, no-one likes cheaters.
