Hate to say it, but I gave up making money in the ground game recently. I even tried Janta/Mokk missions prior to the changes to solo grouping, and it took me three hours to bang out 500k. I personally now choose to use space to make money. Doing duty missions from the various space stations I can rack up about 100k in payment/credit chipsevery 1/2 hour to 45minutes, and then selling the space loot bumps that up easily to at least 200k-250k every half hour. Considering my highest damage pistol cannot outdamage healing on a lair the fastest money for me (klikniks on Yavin 4) is still around 12k every4-5 minutes (with travel time back/forth to terminalsincluded). That net's me 144k an hour plus I have to have buffs in order to do it even that fast. For instance I had 100k credits on me last night, and logged with 600k+ after only doing 1.5 hours of duty missions.
Your other choice is to find any one of the constant spawn spots for the new loot, and hope to get enough to make the painting printers or loot the paintings. Another option if you use the BH pistol line is to run bounty missions. Pretty much every one of the spawns I got some sort of loot, and made 7k-12k to boot (depending on your investigation level). I can do these without buffs using a droid or a non-CH pet. While I may still only be directly making about 50k an hour for the missions I have sold some of the loot for close to half a million, and will likely hita million after I post the auctions for the AAs and other loot I got (including a crystal that I need to find out what level it is if it better than fair I will be doing pretty good).

Almost as special as I felt getting my first city ban the other night 
Well I don't blame the one stars, I mean we did kinda hijack the thing and take it off topic.I'd one star me too if I could.

Man... who in their right minds one stars a simple post list that one?
Then again I get one star'ed for the simplest of things as well...
Im suspecting that someone doest like simple non offensive posts. Must see it as a waste of good hard drive space.

I know, I know... /shrug I was in a really foul mood for a few days there
Though I still wonder why my access to the OOC forums poofed
And I occaisionally take a gander at the ooc forums of yours... many many topics wander into areas highly unapropriate for the masses

The one about amusing photoship pictures that turned into our favorite bothan shaving obsessed smuggler having splooge running down his leg after Sandy his ferret getting him too excited under his desk while wearing a kilt but the ranger can't press the issue because the smuggler has blackmail photos of rabbit forbidden love...Even I worry about us sometimes. Anyway, back to your regularly sceduled programming.
p.s. Jaim' has anyone ever actually tried to come back?

I'm at a loss combat-wise on the ground on how to attain credits. With solo groups gone, I have been using space to make credits. What do you guys do? Sell loot?
The best way I've been able to earn credits is to
A: group with a droid or a pet on yavin and do 10k to 12k missions + they're very easy for a master pistoleer.
B: SPACE baby.....loot like crazy in space and then go see the chasis dealer in a starport and he will buy all your loot.
level 4 loot = 4k
level 5 loot = 5k
level 6 loot = 6k
etc...etc...etc....
very nice way to make credits.
