Credit chips (can make 100-200k in loot credits every outing). Sell loot components that you don't need to the chassis vendor (no idea how much you can make per outing on this, I store and sort everything, and when I know the part is useless for my needs, I sell it along with a bunch of other useless parts all at once, generally walking away with 500k or so after all my junk is sold). And lastly selling FP, either to a smuggler for re-sell, selling it to consumers, or buying factional items and selling them from a vendor.

my advice: loot a seriously uber componant and sell it to someone for millions . like me, i sold a reactor with a 41k gen rate for millions.


but seriously, youll do fine just looting componants and selling them to the chasis dealer

If you can take the Dantooine station mission to take out the pirates, you will make anywhere from 32-36k in credit chips, then the station payout for each mob and anywhere from 27-40 looted items.
If you sell all your items to the dealer you are looking at a lot of money for about 30-45 minutes.
Although I would suggest finding a SW to sell your parts to.

All i do i stake teir 4 duty missions to kill Black sun's and do them from start to finish until the duty ends. I usually have around 30K to 40K in looted chips, plus whatever the bonus is for killing each wave (last wave payout is like 4400 credits if i remember right), and after that sell the parts i loot to the chassis dealer. all told, i think it takes about 30 mins to do with a Krayt.

Yavin Station Destroy Duty is vs tier2-3 Debris Cultists. 100k+ for the mission, not counting the more than full inventory of parts, or the credit chip. Parts are lower end mostly 1-6 with an occasional 7 or 8, but you can RE on the fly between waves as you're an SW.


Rebel Black Sun Destroy Duty from Lok Hotel is vs tier4, and since the final waves payout 10.5k its over 200k for the mission, though parts are less frequent.

Find a static spawn. Blast away for a couple of hours. Cash in credit chips, sell loot. Gigglehystericaly at the millions of credits you now have.

Who gives the tier IV Black sun Destroy mission? I took a destroy mission from Naboo, and they were all level 2 or lower Black Sun, lots of loot and made money, but I would like to have the higher competition...

You must not have gone far enough into the Royal Palace to find the tier4 RSF trainer.

This is what i do. i go into high danger quadrants and fly around killing everything i can for 1-2 hours. between the credit chips and the 30 components you loot. the cash adds up real fast. plus your getting xp and its lots of fun in my opinion. you cant beat that, its got to be one of the funnest ways to make credits. you might not makes as much as docs but you do make a living and its alot more fun than sitting and buffing all day!

I sell all my components at cost on my vendor to shipwrights, when business is slow or I'm not making a profit I hit up the chassis dealer...add to the credit chips you earn flying and you can turn a good profit usually even without selling to the chassis dealer.

I run a minimum of 3 black sun duty missions a day. Each mission pays 44k. That alone is 132k. After 3 duties my credit chip is around 104k. That is a total of 246k. I will have around 30 pieces of loot with an average RE level of 7. Sell that to the Chasis dealer and you have another 210k. I however have a mutually beneficial agreement with a SW thatI sell to for 1500 per level rather than the dealers' 1k per level so my take on loot then ends up being 315k. That brings my daily haul up to 561k. This is on an average day mind you. I have many better days and just as many worse. In the end though, I watch my account swell.
