My pard flies a DC, I thought them a waste of slot. Leaving at 99 is easy. Landing with no other ships in the way, cool.
I like 85 when those space whales get in my way.

Hi commanders,

I'm back after a long long loooong break, last time I've played engineers were introduced. What is the current state of the game? Where can I spend my time on and have fun?

Cheers

There's plenty to do. Lots of mysteries to work on, to explore, but you need to dig around to find them.

Go to the Teorge system. Scan the listening posts.

Uh, maybe I got misunderstood here, sorry Commanders.

I used to play the game in the way, that I was somehow earning Credits to earn Fleet and Equips. I did everything, trading, fighting, hunting, exploring and so on. Most fun was - for me - to discover new ways to make even more credits in even less time. Finding these opportunities and exhausting them for a while was my passion.

Now, first thing I realised is that they obviously have changed some income sources like smuggling from Robingo, fighting in CZ in New Yembo, long distance trading from Sothis, stacking generator missions in 64 Arietis or Skimmer Missions in Diagurandi... they all don't seem to work any more due to recent changes in the game mechanic.

My question therefore is more like: What is the current way to earn my next billion?

You don't. Anything that gives credits is considered an exploit...

A bit. More bitterness to be honest lol. Too many people demanding every big money earner be nerfed who already have a couple of billion in the bank. Seems hypocritical to me, but I digress.

In truth, Quince passenger missions and/or surface scan missions were (until very recently) the new method. But they nerfed those too so I don't know how fruitful it is anymore. I'm sure if you take a look on the official forums you might find something, or alternatively there's usually a YouTube video or two to help. =)

To get back into it, I traded between two bookmarked stations and made ~15 MCr an hour. Been to Quince aswell, passenger missions from station to the next planet are deleted completely, and scan missions are weird, sometimes you can stack some sometimes not. Don't like that.

I have heard exploring the "Road to Riches" by scanning nearby earthlikes is nice, can anyone confirm?

There's a system in Col Sector 285 you can scan in around 20 minutes and net yourself an easy 5mill. It's around 300Ly from Sol at the most.

Col 285 Sector CX-J c9-8

Easy enough. Fit an ADS, a DSS and have at it.
