Not clear on the crossfire mod having never played it.
But on a vanilla server i can get to a VHF in about 3 hrs. just by trading. Lots of very profittable routes out there. After that the fastest cash can be made by piratting (but you have to pick your spots).
Sounds to me like your reputation needs work befoe you concentrate on levels - try killing xeno's by the hundred, it shouldn't take too long, maybe 2 hrs. @ 100 an hour. You may want to get a highly manouvreable ship and fast guns for the job as they are the best ai pilots out there (i reckon) for evasiveness. There's even one spot where you can get rich killing Xeno's so can level up and get a better rep at the same time.
10,000+ Xeno kills and your (nearly) green to all.
That's all on a vanilla install, btw, so the mechanics might be somewhat different in Crossfire. It any good?
The statement below is true.
