Pilot Archive

I think tier 5 duty missions are the way to go - you get a payout for each wave, good credit drops from each kill, plusdecent loot to sell.

Personally, not yet being master pilot, I find NPC bounty missions to pay better.

If you can become efficient at mining, some of the crafters on my server are paying upwards of 50cpu for some of the space resources.

I get a tier 4 destroy duty fromthe reb trainer on Lok. It spawnsa 100 blacksuns. Finish it in roughly 45 to 60 minutes. Go on to Deep Space for about half an hour for some FP and extra Loot. Credit chip ends upat 150k. Mission payout is roughly 75k, never bothered to count it exactly. Crap (odd level) loot sale to chassis dealerbrings in another 150 to 300k. Decent loot and good loot I no longer need ends up on my vendor for 2k a level. Good loot I still collect goes into storage.

Worst, 375k for 90 minutes. Best 525k for 75 minutes. Not counting the vendor sales.

Tier 5 duty missions are just swell, until you start getting Tier 5 gunboat spawns.

Loot ain't worth decay.

We're talking about cash, and the payouts on the T5 duties stink. Tier4 duties from the trainer will net you 100k+ in duty pay, a 100k+ chip, plus parts. That doesnt count the Black Sun helmet (#4)I got from one last night either.

I found that the Yavin 4 Space Station duty mission has a great payout for cash grinding - Tier 3 ships so quick kills but there's a minimum 3k per wave killed (I forget the total for the whole duty). I know I can make 1mil/hr easily doing this duty mission (counting all the loot equipment selloffs)

well Pilots make money off of i think 5 things

LOOT
Cred chips
Missions
Mining
Factionpoint resale.

these are top cash spinners depending on what takes your fancy. credet chips can grant a small wad o chump change in a mear hours spaceing, mining can also do this and offer a small to large payoff depending on how n who you sell too (i hear barc repair kits sell for around 100k)
missions also offer a nice chunk of that cash.
Loot can be a real pay off if you just sell everything you get and if your looting in deepspace its all LV 6 7 8 9 n 10 parts selling from 6k to 9k (lv 10 only sell for 500c don't know why)

now the real money can be made from Faction points, armorsmiths crave faction points and if your good enough you can pull in around 10k-15k a day or more, selling these points off to an armorsmith could get you 1million creds ever 10k fp or more depending on the econmy . i retail at 115cfp myself. well worth the jornt in to Deepspace for some action cos its Chips loot and FP

Kashyyyk has some pretty good duty missions from the neutral station and the rebel station, tier 4 & tier 5 enemies. I haven't ran into any gunboats yet. You can probably get Imperial missions from somewhere, but I'm a ground rebel and space CorSec, so most Imperial stations won't talk to me.

I stand corrected.

I just tried the duty missions from the Yavin space station. They are tier 2 and you have do do a few missions first. Are you sure its the yavin space station?
