The 60 minute challenge

The aim is simple, starting with a new character, on a standard non-mod server, earn as much money as possible in one hour, you can do anything you want, except loot derelicts.

I decided to trade, using a pretty risky route ,especially in the starflier, with starting shield, no weapons or nano/batt (sold for trade cash)

I managed to reach level 18 with 147,000 credits in the hour (well 1:02 to be precise)

I usually start of with doing a coulpe of missions in my starflier, buying a Rhino and Transporting Luxury consumer goods From Manhattan to Ainu Depot. Then I buy some things (forgot what0) for a little profit towards new Tokyo. I then load myself up with Niobium towards the Tokyo-Berlin Niobium-Diamond trade route.

Pretty solid route, though dangerous until you reach Akita border station.

Light arms Detroit -> Ainu, H-Fuel Ainu -> West Point is always a good starter, at least until you can get your hold full of Diamonds.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

I would start of with mission to quickly get a fully loaded rhino. Then fly trades and do mission in liberty area (cause a full fledge rhino outguns everything here..)

But I don't think I can get past level 18..

If you're going to do the Ainu route, fly Manhattan > Ainu with luxury consumer goods, and back with cardamine. Trade up for a Rhino when you get back; stop over in NeoTokyo on the way back to pick up a Drone. Two or three tuns and I was rolling in cash.

Find a transport in manhattan orbit that hauls something worth 100+, DESTROY it, run to fort bush, sell it, find transport in fort bush area, DESTROY it, run back to manhattan, sell loot, get rhino, Go into orbit and obliterate yet ANOTHER transport, sell loot at fort bush, well... you get the picture Keep doing this till they no longer allow you to land anywhere in liberty.

I do that Manhatten <-> Ainu run at the start, and I sell off my guns, bats, bots, and even my thruster so I can filled up the Starflier with 20 luxury consumer goods. When docked at Ainu, get an advanced thruster, advanced countermeasure dropper, the consumerables (bats, bots, decoys), and of cause 20 cardamine. Come back to Manhatten and buy a Rhino, after that it is up to you.
