Lyon DeLacy Hey, what if I wanted to create a wi- wait, what?
Ah, it's my oversight, I forgot to filter out the other major factions/civilizations used by the system there. But... hmmm.... I think I can leave it as is in this case.

SebulbaEasy_IliHi,
I'm pretty new to Elite and i was wodering what's the best way to get more credits in the start???
I assume you're in a Sidey, which means you will get your arse kicked regularly by better ships and players. My advice:
Stay in Solo play
Trade, trade, trade - you cannot defend yourself out there without better weapons and protective gear.
Trade approach at the beginning: Pick just two trading stations - very short hops are needed - esp as you exit hyperspace at a star, which is where they lie in wait. Distance to the nearest station should be short as poss because that are is also where you will be attacked by pirates. Build up some cash, then upgrade your cargo rack asap, then move to a larger ship, eg Cobra Mk3 and then a Hauler. Keep doing all this trading stuff for weeks or even months. Upgrade your defenses and weaponry as you go along.
Come back and tell us how you got on and we'll lend you some more secrets later on.
HTH
well i was on a Cobra MK III xD and I found a pretty good way to earn money with a SRV got some rly good missions of the Eurybia Blue Mafia could pick up the same mission like 13 times over and over again and had to destroy a generator on a planet which respawned every 5 minutes …. for each destruction i got payd with 180k - 1200k … upgraded to a ASP explorer now … now i got some good cargo to make delivering or getting missions payed with 1kk+ soon you'll see me riding on smth good and big you're method seems pretty much outranged if you need weeks or months to get up that far playing for a week now ....

LordPsymonI disagree with "stay in Solo." A lot of people start off in open and turn out fine. Open is not the wretched hive of scum and villainy that people keep preaching. Sure, there's people out there who are determined to ruin your day, but you're more likely to run into people who wave as you cruise buy.
Obviously if you want to hang in Solo, I don't care, but let's not act like flying in Open is a death wish. It's not.
I also disagree with "trade, trade, trade," (unless that's actually what you want to do of course). Instead, experiment, experiment, experiment. Go out there, learn your surroundings, try new things, shoot some badmans if you want. If you get killed, it's okay - it's a learning experience. Pay your rebuy and come out of it better off, ready to kick arse. Shoot back or learn evasive tactics, whatever gets you home safely. The whole "avoid anything that could be even slightly dangerous and hop only between two stations" attitude from above is just silly. You don't learn by hiding in safe zones.
That is how my experience was from day one to now, and I've had a blast doing it.
P.S: Don't underestimate the Sidewinder either...
I totally agree with you .... most players don't just kill you on sight for nothing started in open and i had no problems yet .... and on the contrary there were a lot of people helping me already and I was also able to gather up with People on my lvl to fullfill lower wing missions and sutff .... tbh it was way more fun than just flying around cargoing stuf from A to B

Most, though not all. In the system map screen you can look at each individual station and see what services it has available. In this case you'd want to look for "restock".

Right here on this wonderful site.
Select OUTFITTING, choose the module you need, on the right there are 2 windows, 1 to specify what you are looking for and another to specify where you are - the results will tell you the closest system and port to find the module

That's (sorry Artie!) not as functional and the table is bugged on mobile (like most tables here). It works for simple stuff, which is nice.
