Sethsepticeye1Hello! I'm kinda new to this game, I've got a cobra mk 3 and some alright weapons. Do any of you have advice for getting lots of cc? Right now I'm trying to buy a 1 million credit cargo ship






How new are you?




Eh about a day worth of gameplay, FINALLY after a trip through hell I made it to akanar the capital of the empire, I started off near everate so it took awhile





If memory serves, Achenar is a permit-locked system. Did you actually go there, or just near there your first day?



I don't know how I get permits, I just plotted a route, and went there, the federation sucks so I wanted to be in imperial space, best decision I've made, empire pays me more

Sethsepticeye1Thanks, my only real complaint with this game is that sometimes it's very difficult and complicated. Oh and 1 other thing...HOW THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BUY THE ANNACONDA!? THAT THING COSTS OVER A 100 MILLION CC!!!




I got mine doing passenger missions and selling the exploration data that came with it. Got the Anaconda in a little under two weeks.



Passenger missions? We're do I find those? I only got a cobra mk 3


I think they're pretty much everywhere. You can do passenger missions in a Cobra. Just make sure you have passenger cabins installed and you're good to go! I found passenger cabins most often in High Tech economies. The more populated the better it seemed.

Thanks for the advice, right now I'm just trying to get a type 6 transporter

After 3 years, I still don't own an Anaconda. I can afford several, I just have no need for one!

The Cobra MkIII is still my favourite and most-flown ship

I own an Anaconda, and tbh I only really fly it when I feel like mucking around in a fighter. I second the sentiment on the Cobra MK III. It's a wonderful ship and easily the most fun one to fly.

Sethsepticeye1 My home system was everate, centrally located, good place for trade, but i wanted to see the empire cuz I didn't like the federation, now I'm trying to look for a place but I want to try to get to ashling Duvalls capital. I've heard that conflict zones can get you a lot, why? I went to one, tried to fight and I died, found another one, just watched and none dropped anything useful, my main problem is I can't play online or at least not with over 100 people, my WiFi is bad


CZ’s are not really what you need for credits, and the ships there are harder to kill. You would fare better at a Nav beacon or Resourse Extraction Site (RES) Avoid Haz Res. Search out “wanted” ships, wait for the System Security to start the action and join in. Don’t open fire before the scan is complete or you become wanted. The smaller your ship the better- you’re less of a threat and less re-buy if you go wrong. ILook on the RES as a combat school with credits for prizes

You think that’s bad? Outfitting your Annie to a decent level costs that and more again. My advice...don’t chase the Annie, let it come to you, enjoy the journey

Rebecca:

I know all of that. If I were going to max out jump range or whatever I'd probably fly this instead.


I doubt that you know that all, especially after posting that build.

*plays the game for one day*

"The Federation sucks, the Empire is the best!"

If I remember correctly, Matt, you had a nice little theory there about new players and the Federation

Yes, but those were back in my Empire fanboi days.

I have now matured to an emotionally conflicted indy who makes terrible career decisions.

Still better than an imperial.

It can only get upwards from there.

Hey, don’t discourage folks from joining the Empire. I’ll run out of targets.

Two lines that should not be crossed: the horizontal and the vertical.

If you're in my crosshairs, it's for a good reason.
