seriously wtf yamiks this has been going for years you're about to get it nerfed

[@mirandela777]

I started doing this since the mining nerf, and I must add some things here: 1 - avoid the bigger Hausers Reach star port - is located inside a ring and the gravity push will eat your time badly. Robigo Mines are far faster to reach. 2 - if you are not allied with the factions, in 30-45 min you will get that, just doing trips mainly for reputation, credits second place; After you get allied, real money missions pop-up. 3 - choose only Sirius Atm missions ; they are the fastest and great payout. 4 - you won't need cabins bigger than 16, economic class; add 1 or two smaller first class, also; 5 - sometimes a passenger will ask you for some item; DO NOT attend that, just ignore the request; DO NOT REFUSE the request since that will drop your Rep. just IGNORE the request. 6 - supercruise module is a plus, since you can just bookmark the destination and the return points and watch a movie, drink a tea in mid time ( this can go boring fast,,,,) 7 - IMPORTANT - conductive polymers material , encoded, all grade IV and V are plenty as rewards ! 8 - you can run this without a shield, fuel scoop; a decent Python with 23 ly jump will do the trip in just 3 jumps, 10 minutes for a ro-ro; My Python holds this ( one cabin of each) one of 32 + one of 16 + one of 8 + one of 4 economy, one of 16 business + one of 12 first class + one 6 first class ( no shields, no scoop, no guardian FSD booster - all stripped for max profits) 9 - the fact you visit a bacon will increase your explorer rank with 1% per trip, in average; 10 - I was NEVER interdicted / scanned in +50 trips ! In this config. I get between 12 and 24 millions / trip, over 120 / hour. PS - expect some " fk-u ! " from the game, sometimes, in the polite form of "docking request denied..."

[@bwucewee1502]

Thanks, good tips, i'm currently in an AspX still, got 200M and was wondering if i should go python, if it's worth the upgrade, looking at these numbers it seems like a good investment. When i get to the beacon immediately stop engines and use thrusters to lower my ship so i can't hit it, then while slowing down i open map and select Robigo Mines again and start FSD while aiming towards the destination slowly. One thing to note though, i do NOT have anything engineered yet, i'm afraid that if i start doing all that engineering(unlocking) I might lose the motivation to go back to Robigo to farm more so i would like to buy my Python nearby if possible. Is it a good idea without engineering too?

[@mirandela777]

@@bwucewee1502 - sure, keep farming, you do NOT need engineered things, is simple; My advice is to buy a Python, put grade A in all except sensor and life support ( those change to D so become lighter) and put cabins in all slots - you can run even without shields !

Did this route a million times for the sweet Bioconductors, but never realized it's a decent alternative to mind-numbing laser mining, when it comes to collecting credits. So I moved my big-ass carrier there and started milking the route again. I have to say that your estimates are on the spot. I'm making about 115 mil/h, if I manage to avoid hitting the Sirius Atmospherics beacon in the head, that is. The mind wanders off after the 10th trip or so. And mind you, the passengers don't really like it. Not at all! Great video, thanks for that.

[@foreverspellman]

I don't mind the passenger mission grind, or the mining grind, but what I do mind is that a passenger ship (designed clearly for carrying passengers) are no where near as effective as some multi-role ship. I wish Luxury Cabins were relevant and had passengers that paid ludicrous amounts, but you could only take 1 at a time. It would be like making the passenger ships a specific "private jet" that missions would pay a premium for. Instead, we get to cram passengers into one of the most boring looking ships in the entire game for the sake of "efficiency".

[@FlecheDeFer]

If you go to Colonia, you can actually get more credits with a Beluga than what Robigo can get you. But of course, it's a few systems away, and it should be possible in general, not is a few special cases...

[@Somali.Pirate1]

Ahhh the gold old days of smuggling slaves into stations, selling them to the black market to work in the mines at Robigo... how time flies.

[@highguy586]

Pro tip: whenever the stations start giving you too many passenger missions that don't go to Sirius, try accepting a few and then abandoning them. If you are at full reputation then you can *USUALLY* abandon three passenger missions without your reputation declining into the previous tier. There are a few missions that will cause you to lose more rep but just be sure not to select those. It doesn't always work, but it works enough to try it.

[@denmanfite3156]

Not to go all over the top discussing orbital mechanics... but realistically you could only make minor changes to it's angle or eccentricity by ramming it. You have to think of orbital mechanics as a "change-in-velocity" since any body in space is already in motion around another body - not static.

I hope it's Vsauce it MIGHT be Scott Manley but honestly if you end up on either page you're going to have a good time. Cheers mate

[@francescoragnoni8042]

Does the same thing go for Robigo for the empire

[@Nindjako]

For Faster super cruise times : Switch fuel scoop for a SC assist when at location jump into system, target the outpost and set SC assist, point about 10-15 degrees away from the vector and apply full throttle (bonus speed points if you point at emptier part of the space), at 6-10s away from target use your 75% thrust button Then in quick succession adjust speed up to within 4s from target and under 2c speed (1.5c to be safe) point at target and let SCA take control to drop you at speeds way faster than normal - shaving seconds of each run you may need to help it a little if you move to fast, control your speed Be careful tho, too fast and you may miss the target, SCA does not always turn exactly at target if the speed is too high and "loop of shame there is" Try it with the higher times first and see how your ship react. Adjust accordingly And have fun CMDRs

[@bwucewee1502]

i've been doing this, one thing about the SC assist though, default, it stops you when you reach a star but i read you could turn that off so you maintain speed, does that help at all?

[@Cmillzzzz]

You don’t need to point away, just go into settings and change the throttle for SC to manual

[@skii_mask_]

For anyone checking this out in 2022, it still totally works. I exclusively run from Robigo Mines to Sothis Atmospherics. I've been scanned once in like 20 runs, so bring a heatsink just in case. I've been interdicted a few times, but of course it's easy to evade. Easy money, just ignore the mission updates where the passengers try to get you to kill somebody for them.

[@rubylazer995]

so far this is the most stable method i have found

[@AngryCarMechanic]

Something I noticed when I got a Beluga and put it in Ceos, you can get around 5-7 missions for 1 million+ in most of your slots and then the last 3-5 slots are around 500k-600k each. Bigger ship ends up making up the difference between systems

[@adrian3482]

I do the same thing but from Hauser's Reach in Ceos. I use an Anaconda. Anaconda has more internals so that means more missions. It's 2 jumps to get to Ceos so you don't need a fuel scoop. Robigo mines missions pay more cr per mission but you can only use a medium ship. Somebody was saying that the total cr payout is almost identical. Hauser's Reach is better if you want to farm materials.

Now, I never leave home without some heatsinks!

Swapping out the fuel scoop for a supercruise assist module can aid in getting the speed right when approaching the target you have to scan. Just saying. If you're doing the 4 jump loop, you can do all 4 w/out a fuel scoop in a Python.

For some commodities such as mining you will need to have in your cargo hold a quarter of demand listed to achieve full price that is shown. However this was discussed recently and may change for the better.... various other commodities are effected by the states systems are in and even a zero demand for some trades doesn’t effect price you can sell at. When using eddb it will show you best profits for each commodity however taking one of these on to trade when supply is very low is pointless so try and look for good supply at low cost and 1or 2 jumps to sell at high. Position of starport to jump in point etc all effects time vs profit. If looking at agronomic treats try the fringe worlds in investment around edge of bubble. Demand might show 0 but can usually get 10-20 runs in before sell price crashes as it did with me at Carthage. Bare in mind many other haulers are doing the same at the same time as you so a bunch of players hitting a route can alter it quickly....when u find a honey hole doing any activity clean it out..

Target station using supercruise assist. Nose down so that you're heading towards the station but your assist isn't quite aligned. Keep throttle on full until you hit 7 seconds to target. Ease back on throttle to keep it at 7 seconds and watch your speed, when it drops below 2c, throttle to full and lift the nose so that supercruise assist engages. Now sit back and watch as you race towards your target way too fast. As long as you're travelling less than 2c when you reach 1000km, it will drop you out by the station.

[@57thorns]

@Emmy MacDonald Too few luxury passenger missions or they pay too bad? Luxury cabins are after all the passenger line special. Anyone can cram a bunch of refugees (or remarkably enough businessmen?) into any cargo hauler. Perhaps they should have made the business class cabins specific for passenger ships as well? But I guess that is too late to fix now.

[@57thorns]

@Emmy MacDonald The general purpose ships are absolutely rubbish at doing luxury passenger missions, because they can't even fit the first class cabins.

[@57thorns]

@Emmy MacDonald That is not the issue here. This video was about economy class passangers. If luxury class passengers in reality paid enough cruise liners would not be "bad".

[@kgraebes88]

im kinda noob to ED, why cant we do these missions in a dolphin?

[@eddiemarohl5789]

@@kgraebes88 dolphin doesn't have the best range so it wouldn't be good gor robigo runs

[@Thantifax]

Shit, I stopped playing ED about 2 years ago (maybe less), logged in the other day and I was at Robigo Honestly surprised this place, and all other high paying transport missions, haven't been nerfed into the ground

[@petezzzz]

I think Robigo is just up there with Crashed Anaconda/Cobra and Dav's Hope. Some form of player retention is necessary in a game as grindy as Elite. It won't be nerfed.

[@Thantifax]

@@petezzzz Now that's a fair point

[@TehJumpingJawa]

Are passenger deliveries to far off stations (Smeaton Orbital et al) still worthwhile? Even if it averages less money per minute, the ability to go AFK* for 40-50 minutes has a certain appeal. *(or alt-tab out to play an actually engaging game in the background)

[@deheinrich4785]

what happened to the mining with 400mil/h? 200mil/h on a bad day. I am a returning player and I wonder why robigo is now considered as "the best"?

[@deheinrich4785]

@Galuh what a shame

[@finarfin9939]

Void Opal is 590k. LTD is 670k. Some FUCKING balance. I guess this grind is slightly better in that, if you just want to....end it all by ramming into the sun...you can take a whole bunch of terrified people with you. Theres some solace in that.

[@dustintaber]

This method saved me from committing Elite suicide after discovering I now only make $45M/h in my new mining cutter I just finished grinding for.

[@sirstan4897]

that’s elite for ya! unless you mindlessly follow a map to the only good rocks you can’t make any money. a 600 million credit ship? makes 50 mill an hour... yeah that’s balanced alright

[@inhisdefense]

Still accurate today. Did a very casual relaxed pace test run. 50 mil/h sometimes taking engineering mats or building faction rep. Not sure I even needed a fuel scoop.

[@ChrisM541]

...and today :)

[@catherder6552]

I have a Python and I'm in Ceos right now, I've never even looked at the passenger missions... 🤦‍♂️

[@Pixel_Higitsune]

why did they nerved mining and didnt buff other stuff?

[@thereprehensible435]

No one wants it nerfed or feels it an exploit... But it'll be nerfed, because ED's user experience "specialists" want us to play longer and don't understand gamers' psychology and how they view this.

[@cheifzero]

They just don't understand that humans process negative experiences at a deeper level than positive ones. So a nerf will always worse than a buff. Core-a gaming has a good video on why you should buff more than nerf. In eve people call it adapt or die...so far eve has survived. Let's see if ED has that luxury.

[@thereprehensible435]

@@cheifzero I agree to some extent, but the problem IMO is the *reason* they nerf is blatantly despicable. Worse, their nerfs are *never* minor. The best tactic for nerfing thins is to do so gradually patch by patch till you find the point at which people grow frustrated, then backtrack *one step.* The singular reversal alone will fix any negative feelings about the prior nerfs, while the feedback serves as a brake for the gradual halting as balance is achieved. But no... Whomever it is that was hired to work for ED as their user experience specialist is a bloody shortsighted idiot. Probably brought onto the team by connections rather than expertise. As a result, they nerf things *way* too hard every god damned time. Credits per hour from the loop back when I first went on hiatus from the game was 22mil, nerfed down to like 445k. Do the math, put it into percentile form and the absurdity is all the more palpable.

[@cheifzero]

@@thereprehensible435 well you can find videos of 500m/hr with LTD from earlier this year. Now we down to 60-120m so I got to grind 4 to 8 times as much as a new player (epic games) as somebody who got their carrier under 20 hours. And it's not like carriers went down in price at all. They were balanced on old income and stayed that way under the nerfed income. So instead of making me to play more, i started playing less because they made my experience worse than those who started a year ago. They honestly should've just buffed everything else and add something else to grind for that is balanced in the first place. This nerf just feels like a kick in the balls, if I had bought this game recently I would've sought a refund.

I can't get my phyton to do two jump, it does only 3..... I have same setup and jump ly"?'s are different

[@Spootnik]

Make sure you engineered your FSD. It's cheap and easy to do and really every ship should have it IMO

[@ravenracer2003]

@@Spootnik Yes I realized that. Just started playing not long ago. I assume each lower grade is a preq to a higher grade according to the instructions? I guess I need to find those materials etc. What's the best way to do it ?

[@SwordMaster1100]

Max I made in one run yesterday was 28 million. I'm one rank away from elite in exploration. I don't know if it means something but there it is. Some missions give 4 to 5 million each :)

[@litigation_jackson]

If you dump a size 5 economy passenger module you can put in a guardian FSD boost and get it with minimal engineering (overcharge 1 on the power plant): s.orbis.zone/cs48 Otherwise if you can engineer your jump range to 5, you can use a size 1 FSD booster and get that: s.orbis.zone/cs4a

What's the best setup/station for CEOS? I wanna use these missions to rankup empire and federation while earning credits (yes, I know there's better ways to rank up).

[@cmdrlightwalker_9877]

Rebalancing the incomes is fine and dandy and all but I just thought of something that fdev could still do to make everyone's in-game lives easier and thats cut the prices of the freaking ships and modules! Oh and the fleet carriers too.

[@jackd23]

I'm sure this also depends on system/faction states and some other tohu-wabohu of the BGS. I used to flip the board to fill Type-9s of Biowaste transport missions to the agriculture station in HIP 104331 (Sacco City) when I started, today the missions are all but different because of government and stuff. I wonder if my 3rd party program still works to find those places, might as well go back to doing that after they're done nerfing :p

[@danieliacob3498]

Pretty good earnings, but cant I just use one of the luxury ships specifically meant for that and make a lot more or at least the same?
