Try making powerups and selling them on the bazaar, find out which ones are popular and sell them for 3k a crate. If you find you arn't selling as many as you like, put a vendor in a popular mall and sell them from there too. If you can sell 10 crates a day it will easily pay for the running costs on a heavy harvester or maybe even 2, that would set you up with resources for your vehicles.

I know it's hard to get going at the start but you can suppliment your income until you get a good customer base by running missions.

Try some loot harvesting by killing meatlumps outside of coronet, adhesives sell well as long as you don't charge too much, selling a few of these will give you more than enough to run some heavy harvesters.

Don't forget advertising, the more people that know what your selling and where, the more chance you have of actually selling something.

Try carrying some stock around with you and have a macro running, letting people know that they can buy from you directly.If the price is good people WILL buy them.

thanks for all the responses people. a couple ofquestions on the powerup crates, is there any difference in exp if i make say a scope for weapnos or a mine explosives kit, xp won't matter now you have Master Artisan - but in any case it's 2xp per unit of resource (a few exceptions to this - vehicles, all shipwright and a handful of others)

if so which is the best one to make also they are random, keep retrying until you get the bonuses you want, the bonus are random and I personally normally tried for a min/max damage boost, but see what players near you want.

i just got to novice weaponsmith aswell so do weapon powerups get me wp exp? No - general crafting xp for powerups

and finaly how do you make crates of things, do you have to buy crates to put stuff in? You have to make a schematic, put it in a factory with the resources and it'll kick out some crates for you. It's a little more complicated but if you only have 15k then you probably can't afford a factory just yet, and there are guides on factories around (see the profession forums). I'd advise getting a factory as most combat players want to buy crates of powerups (they don't last long)

thanks

As far as cash collecting goes, you might want to do some missions - if you have combat skills then it's easy, but without them the best you can get is artisan crafting missions from Moenia to Deeja Peak, they pay 1.3k each, so thats 2.5k after shuttle ticket for less than 5 mins work.
