Loving these guides o7

Thanks, hopefully they help folk out. Been trying the on foot stuff more recently, dont think Ill be making a video about that though, though ineptitude is entertaining too.

There are two games I play religiously, EvE online and elite dangerous. I can’t get enough of them both and just love the simulation, the economy, the professions and of course space and ships. Such a blast. Thanks for the video, liked and subbed. Great stuff.

[@y_ffordd]

Thanks, I have a chum that used to play EvE, I never tried it, I play Elite as its a game I remember from childhood, only better, it is addictive, Im piloting my ships or tinkering with them, such fun.

If you don't have the money for a Python just yet, get a Type-7 starting from Hauser's Reach.

WARNING _ THIS IS NOW NERFED - Hello CMDR, Thank you for your interest in passenger missions. Robigo changed this last summer with an update to passenger missions. They now only respawn about one half hour from when you take and complete them. It’s so worth it to keep a ship at “Hauser’s Reach” or “Robigo Mines” and if you don’t have a clear mission for the day heading there to do 25 mil with of missions in under 15 minutes. But then they don’t refresh so you can’t grind it anymore like some of us used to. But having a ship there is a great way to farm mats, and a place to do mission for passengers while sipping coffee. Sometimes I know I won’t be doing much for a few days and I’ll jump out there and keep logging in there to make some money. Thargoid combat has now far surpassed passenger missions as a big money maker. It’s still great but it’s not the best at all anymore. Good luck and fly dangerous. o7

Thanks for your thoughts, just been back to see if there is any change, theres nothing significant since this video was released, I wasn't clear about the drain of missions, but the 80-100 M per hour is still solid, you could make more if doing both Robigo and Hauser (faster since SCO has been released) as you mention. What kind of hourly rate do you earn? I just did a test and managed 100M/hour when using Robigo and Hauser combined, you could make more but I was taking material rewards - mainly the military one and some signal data ones though as the raw mats I get through flak farming. At Robigo I started with 21 missions, in 43 mins I did 5 runs and 98 M. Then 5 min to SCO to Hauser to do 3 runs in a Beluga to make 58 M in 3 runs in 45 mins, I made a few mistakes in that Beluga though plus I could have got another run in, I had no probs popping the heatsink and cool runnings to avoid the cops, which was fun. Then when I went back to Robigo I had 19 missions waiting to begin again, you could do long runs nicely. Robigo is not there as a big money maker any more (hence the use of easy money rather than big money), I did this video for beginners, to gain materials and some credits, to give them a non combat activity, which if they go unshielded and manual dock will teach them a lot about docking at outposts. Maybe I should do an updated video as the materials have changed and there is now SCO. Ill update the text in the description when I get time to add my findings, to clarify and highlight these improvements, thanks for your input.

Ive just started all over again on PC coming from Xbox. First thing I did was buy a hauler with a fuel scoop and jump to ray gateway at lhs 1101. From there I started transporting silver from brokutso gielen hub back to ray gateway. After 8-9 hauls I bought a type 6. Each full loaded silver type 6 nets 1.5mil, after 8-9 runs I went and bought a fully loaded dbx and now im off to unlock the first engineer for the upgraded fsd. I like your video and am waiting for the weekend to find out how far this location is from lhs 1101 to try to pull it off for some fast money using the type 6 :D

[@y_ffordd]

It’s doable in a type 6, you should get the 30.15 ly jump range with G4 engineering. When you get to Hauser you can swap your fuel scoop for a cabin, bear in mind you will need to get the passenger cabin sent out to you as there not many buying options around. Then you will soon make enough for the Python. Unless you are going to do everything in a Type6, was flying mine yesterday and it handles surprisingly well.

[@y_ffordd]

Oh and also the stock paint job on the type6 is wonderful, that light metallic blue.

[@mostlygtao]

This is a great way to get Elite in exploration.

[@y_ffordd]

A great way to master manual station landings too

[@j4rvismick]

I tried a jumpaconda from hauser, I hoped the 1 jump to Sothis would shave some time but there wasn't much in it, still around 10 min round trip. great fun crafting the conda and you do pick up slightly more missions per jump.

[@y_ffordd]

Yep it’s a fine ferry, I used one when the Thargs attacked the first stations, one day I’ll get another Anaconda to build a dreamboat.

Previously, before the division into “Heritage” everything was ok. Now on Robio, there are tasks of 4.6/5 million, after the 1st run there are no higher than 3 million, after the 2nd run, in general there are only 3-4 tasks and there is nothing higher than 2 million. Rave... Nothing helps, just do 2 visits every 1 hour... 1st call 18 million, second 14.... and that’s it. Reputation has been pumped to the maximum, there was no such problem before.... Does anyone know how to deal with it?

[@y_ffordd]

Ive not been there in a few months, there was a gradual bleed of high payers, but it wasnt as bad as that, though I was starting off much higher with 27 million in the run on this video, the other starting runs were similar, doubt any were below 20 though.

[@frizo1126]

@@y_ffordd Well, I’ve been farming on Python for a month now and the outflow is wild. Starts at 19-20 million and ends at 10 million per lap. it's kind of terrible, the developers feel sorry for the game money...

[@frizo1126]

@@y_ffordd Here is a striking example.... there are no more tasty quests there Entry with 1 quest for 5.5 million brought = 14 million. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mni1mX2Goq6SY9E

[@Spudd66]

How come every mission on every cycle is a VIP mission so never been able to "stack" multiple people in a single cabin, I've had 3 people in a 12 person first class cabin more times than I have had hot dinners and this is over several months of on/off Robigo mines grinding not just in one session and over multiple 10 minute clicks its always VIP's?

[@y_ffordd]

They pay a high rate to ensure exclusivity and some times quality of cabin, alas you can’t cram them in like the cattle they are

[@rodrirm]

Doing this with an ASP Explorer with a small size Guardian FSD booster. And its two jumps and get good money. Later I will get a Kraith Phantom or a Python.

[@y_ffordd]

The phantom is the best explorer, brilliant for doing jobs around the bubble too. I left my Robigo Python there just for doing those passenger missions.

[@rodrirm]

@@y_ffordd Yeah, using the ASP-X for now cause is the best bigger ship I coudl afford, but im close to get ther Phantom

[@Spudd66]

just done one now, 6 missions total out of 20 half full python cus no more cabins available as all partially filled with VIP's this is about 10 Mill and hour earning rate weird, do the same in 10 minutes in a Hi Rez

[@y_ffordd]

Odd, never had that low a rate of pay, the only thing I noticed was the high paying clients die off if you go too fast.
