no idea where to go and what to buy

Postby Mr_Average » Sat Oct 04, 2014 8:41 pm

I've got about 4000CR. I'm making less than 1000CR per trip buying and selling. Really have no idea what to buy and sell to make any money. Or where to go (I'm around I Bootis)

Killed a few people with bounties but due to too much wine, I can' t do that all evening.

Just want some money!!!!

Hauling missions my friend. Good pay for the amount of work you have to do.
-I fly the ocean black, and my little ship goes warp 10-
-Theres nothing that we lack (unless theres something we've forgotten)-

Go to Styx ... buy basic medicine .. back to Eranin, its selling for just under 700 per tonne protif ( just started to go down )

Not seen much for a better profit margin

Im only getting a few runs in per hour, due to wine... and music ... I just seem to drift off ! !

Boring!

seriously, with the current stock levels trade is a little pointless. the courier missions are a nice earner but if i wanted to be told where to go and what to do i'd go to work not play this game.

as it stands the game is rapidly losing its appeal for me, it went from being a challenge that i needed to use my brain for to a point to point boredom inducing POS.

i haven't opened the galaxy map in days, there is no need to when you get told where to go all the time.

ITS JUST NO FUN ANYMORE! :(

It was purely a tip, sir ... nothing more .
Somewhere where I found a decent return.
I thought Id share it in order for a few people to get a few credits quick, therefore enabling anyone who wanted to do so, to get a decent upgrade on the ship ( as I have done on my hauler ) and open up a the jump range in order for them to be able to get out into the void and explore.
Depending on where you go, Trade is quite decent ... its all nerfed... but you can still make easy ££'s . Currently the devs want us to test the missions/exploring ... therefore, trading is not so appealing.

Cheers

I appreciate the replies. Just got up to 17,000CR after doing a few jobbies on the bulletin boards. Cheers Mr. Zephyr

I know what you mean AndyB. When the (or a) game isn't doing it for you, then its usually me in the shitty mood.

Start here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYKLvYGqaC0 and see where it takes you when that happens.

Well I'm not trading at all because it's shite at the mo......

I have not even been out the system yet.......

Just getting my kicks honing my combat skills by taking out Fed Scum at Eranin 2...........

No point making loads of dosh and playing it for real as a wipe is coming......

I traded in PB1.......Made some dosh.....Tried some ships and with money in the bank had some fun.....

Landing on and flying through a dreadnought.....Trying out of the normal stuff...............

Then all got wiped....So I'm not busting my arse grinding again.......

How I play the final release will be completely different from the way I'm playing at the moment.......

Tor.....Hold on.......Tor.......Wait a bit.....TOR will you stop fecking firing.......Ok......Tor I know a therapist that can help you....... :D My Cmdr also has small feet
