Just don’t take too many or you might not make it! There are often times where you can take many boxes at once and deliver them to areas around another planetary body which makes the long distance travel worth it and increases profit.

After you get a bit more experienced: when taking missions, check the delivery destinations and take a few missions (up to as many as you think you can handle) at once.

Try your best to avoid missions that send you across the entire system when carrying just one or two packages, as the QT travel time in small ship will lower your profit by a LOT.

My friend is a big fan of delivery missions but even with his tenacity he only manages to earn 30-40k credits per hour due to long travel times (and missions sometimes glitch out). In my experience, they should ONLY be done when Option 1 is not available or if you really don’t like combat. Profits: In general delivery missions greatly range in payout. Requirements: Starter ship (Aurora) is fine! If this doesn’t work, try Option 2 (or Option 3) for a while and return to Option 1. Usually this lets you get new missions on new server. Warning 2: If skimmer missions stop spawning you can try returning to Port Olisar and changing server.

Warning: AVOID skimmer destruction missions under “Personal” tab – they will likely give you a crime stat! You have 5 minutes to destroy 3 of them which is easily doable if you use the scanner well and don’t waste time fighting the AI. They will show up as little squares after a scan pulse is sent into space. Once you arrive at the destination use your ship’s scanner to find their locations. Skimmer missions will send you to Communication Arrays or Security Port Kareah.The AI that spawns to intercept you is usually quite bad at flying and will likely not even reach your location or hit you, as long as you are moving. Those missions pay well (usually around 6k credits) and are VERY easy to do, as skimmers don’t resist your attempts of destruction. When you go to mission tab, you will likely see missions that require you to destroy skimmers.They are VERY easy to do and since they pay around 6k each you can expect to do around 6-10 of them every hour which ends up being 36-60k credits per hour. You can always change servers after missions run out. Profits: It depends greatly on how many missions will spawn for you.

Expect to start on the lower end and slowly get to the higher end of profit ranges as your skill level raises and the quality of your ship gets better Important: The profit rates mentioned below are directly tied with the ship you are using and your game experience. I hope that I can list things that can be done by totally new backers that only have starter ships and backers that have pledged a little more and own more expensive ones. I wanted to write this small guide to help new and more experienced players alike by listing some of the most efficient ways of earning money (as of now). Hello everyone! I have lately been noticing a lot of posts of people who are worried about upcoming rental prices and the fact that 100k or 200k credits is a very huge amount of money and it’s hard to earn that much without playing a lot.
