Is that true? Because I'm rebel but am thinking of going Imperial just to get those missions.
Nyax (25 mins now), kryats (about 500% population increase), NS, and SMC are what I go for. And yes, if your grouped with an atst you get higher paying missions and get to keep all the money.

doesn't have to be an ATST though, a really powerful pet will get similar results.

What kind of pets?
Does the Rebellion have anything similar to the ATST? I know they don't but if they have anything to help pull a larger paying mission it'd be great.

Well, it doesn't really make you much money but when I was grinding I would get bored so I would make clothing. Black clothes would sell almost as fast as I could make em.

Aside from whats already been said, at 4400 you have max experimentation points and you can sell powerups, problem is these days you need a factory and pretty good resources ... I barely sell any swoops, I make all my artisan money in powerups

What is the best way to make money as a BH in this game? My template is almost done but it will be: MBH, MCarb, CM 4000. Gurk missions while they give good xp...they only give 8-9k cash per mission. It's a slow process. Someone mentioned going to the aakuans cave on Talus and kill those guys for the AA/CA loot. I went there and someone let me share his spot and killed about 50 aakuans and just crap dropped...no AA/CA's. The guy said you could sit there all day and have nothing drop at all. Suddenly I remembered the weary days of EQ and farming for rare drops and it just turned me off completely. I'm currently doing my investigation xp grind and I'm getting about 14k per kill doing that but it's slow because of the time it takes to get to the mark.
Does anyone have advice on how to make really good money? I talk to all these people that say they have 25 mil and 50 mil just sitting in the bank. How in the world did they get all this money??? Maybe it's me and I don't know how to do it yet. Anyone have any suggestions? I need to get a good set of battle armor, the best E11 Mark 2 carbine I can find, along with ADK's for all the armor pieces and the weapon (and I hear those go for 12 mil a piece?????), not to mention AA's/CA's, food, drink, spices and all of that. It's almost like all of that would take 100 mil to get.
Can you guys tell me how you made your money and how long it took? It's really frustrating.
Thanks!

Well you can make decent money in space, but anyone with a ton of money laying around is probably a crafter, or sells resources
