If those are your only skills, you are locked into only one possible way besides Missions to earn credits - Looting. Find out what items are popular on your server, find out what drops them, and go fight those things exclusively.

You could try going into resource harvesting business on the side. It doesn't take any skill to drop harvesters. You could get a few mediums and then advertise your harvesting services for sale at a fixed cpu to anyone that contracts with you and provides the waypoint.


Do you have JTL? Theres also some good money in space.

Very nice money in space. I made over 50k creds on one Duty run with 1-0-0-0 pilot. You get the payout from the Duty, and you can sell all that space loot to the chassis dealer.

Define poor, had another poster complaining they were poor because they only had 10 million credits and not 50 million credits. Is there something you need but cannot afford? Or do you have most everything you need but your current credit total is lower than you would like?


1) Resources, you do not even need to be an artisian, just get a heavy harveter and drop it and harvest whatever happens to be there. OR drop it next to other harvesters of the same type and get what is probably good stuff and move it when they move. OR pick up Artisian (Survey IV) and become a more proactive miner, more work but higher reward.


2) Looting, but that takes a lot of knowledge to figure out what drops what and then you have the issue of selling it either via the trade forums or a merchant.


3) Large group and destroy missions pull down a decent wage.

You can also go to the corvette and try to get power plants, maybe its difficult to a non jedi (that sounds really bad ) but with luck and a few attempts u can loot one ortwo armoires.

Go to space, but less the loot on the bazaar. You can easily sell most things for 2000 credits per level (double that the chassis dealer does)




Why do people pay to play a MMORPG but not want to interact with other people?
Why, SOELA, why? Did the entire management join a cult, and at the same time perform home lobotomies?
It takes less time to look at the stickies than to ask a question and wait for sarcastic replies. So please oh PLEASE ask the same question many times. I enjoy the sarcastic remarks.

Sell that loot to a SW and you could make a lot more. Personally, I pay 1500 per level bs 1000 per level if you sell to the chassis dealer.

Pilot is the way to go, it takes zero SP.


As a shipwright, i will look through your loot and pay up to 500k per piece (for the really good ones) and make money that way.

Selling power. If you have 20 or so mobile BER 14 fusions, and you farm at 90% spawns, you can make some good money.

Power is a very good way to make $ because it's so much less work than mining resources. During my prior subscription, then this one I had power contracts that paid 1.4 cpu. I really am not sure if I've underpriced myself in the current market , but with 8 ion gens at a 50-70% site, My last 'paycheck' was 840$,000 from a full shift.

if you happen to play on Eclipse, send me a tell and I'll refer to my employer.

I would like to know that the poster means by ‘poor’. I know people who have been in the game since the start with only 2 million plus non-uber equipment to there name.
