ATM I'm making about 200k every 2 brandys. I heard that theres going to be a weapon nerf in publish 9 or 10, and was hoping to make a lot of money before then. Currently hunting jantas and mokks.

Eh I tried enraged rancors. Lets see I had no armor, used a speed sliced gun(damage one I save for the base ), oh and buffs n' brandy. Well there were two of them, and I tried strafeshot2 them down, but then they charged me and I couldn't outrun them. Lets just say I got raped.

That shouldn't be happening... 
Try this: Lay prone at 60-64 meters. Use Flushingshot 2 first. Then, if you can use Strafe 2 at the cap, do so. They should charge after three shots (or more if you're lucky). If you are not at the cap with SS2, keep using Flushingshot 2. This is a higher DPS attack than SS2 with +90(and +95?) rifle speed. After 3 shots, stand up and start running. If they get within 20 meters before dropping, use /burstrun. If it does come down to that, they will not outrun you. 
And there is damage reduction food(synthsteak, I believe)you can buy- not that you should need it in this case. Good luck

1. Mokks and jantas from mining outpost on dantooineare probably the quickest/most reliable, 25k payout, no lair heal, concentrate on the lair,blow it and bike to the next one leavin the flailing mokks behind, plus there's almost always groups at the mining outpost doing solo missions so getting a group is rarely a problem.
2. Another one I used to do and still do somtimes, get some 3hr 30 buffs, canope and brandy (muon just in case), do 37k rancor missions till you have 1hr left on buffs, then head to mid point between Nightsister stronghold POI and Nightsister vs Singing battle POI, target spell weavers and protectors, sentinals can drop sometimes, mill around the area and look for multi spawns. This way you make a wad of cash, and have a chance to loot somthing you can sell (somtimes for large sums). Note. Check out the resists on these first and make sure you can hit a vulnerability. I tend to use unarmed kinetic dmg for the nightsisters, and acid dxr-6b for rancors.
1 is more reliable than 2, but 2 can yield vastly greater amounts of cash for your time.

If youre imperial also, you dont need to get in a solo group, just declare and group up with your atst to take missions.

1. you need sufficient dmg output to blow the lair in a reasonable amount of time.
2. You need to be able to tank a bit of damage.
If you can do this, you can do it no problem.
I took 2hr 30 buffs today and got through almost 40 mokk and janta lairs before my buff ended flying between missions on a swoop. Each set of two lairs worked out at 3-4 minutes per two lairs. And on each one I didn't have to kill one mokk or janta. This worked out at around 1 mil credits for 2 and half hours work plus one of the mokks i did kill nr the end to get a little pike xp dropped a clear crystal (100-250k), 10k outlay on ao buff and about 20-25k on brandy/canope. I got a group as soon as i got off the shuttle so no waiting around.
Damage to me at the end of that time, round about 2-3% dmg on chest plate mainly. bout 30 wnds to all bars and around 280 bf.
I used tka to kill the lairs, but the same principle applies if i wanted to use a good dmg dxr or t21, its just that vk's are so much cheaper how long would it take to destroy the lairs dealing out 2k dmg when i was taking one out in 20 secs with a vk.
how long would it take to destroy the lairs dealing out 2k dmg when i was taking one out in 20 secs with a vk.If you arent profed enough to do this kind of soloing, you'd be best off sticking to group sharnaff hunting or lower level missions. I'm just offering my suggestion on a great way to raise cash without too much effort.

Mangiacapra, maybe this sounds like a newb question, but how are you supposed to keep the mokks & jantas from beating the crap out of you in 30 seconds while you're trying to blow up their lair?
