i wouldnt say big money, i just enjoy the relaxed vibe it gives you.
I made 4,663,942 credits in 2 hours, this included just one mission off the bulletin board.
I mentioned before bagging the Fed ranks over at Tun. Miserable process, but now done. That took me around 3 days.
I'm doing the Imp ones at a much more gradual pace, just picking them off whilst working up my trading rank. It's massively more relaxing and is my suggestion.
I want to get a Sol permit - purely because my 5 year old is currently learning about the solar system and loving it, and I think it'd give her a buzz to fly around it.
But intending to just do it in a very haphazard, as-I-play kind of way rather than grinding it.

Have you tried cubeo or that one HIP system for stacking the cut the power and other missions? You get to go zap skimmers and the like and it actually pays alright too
What are opinions here on Bi-weave vs standard shields. I'm in a FAS and have been reading some opinon that if you have a ship with a good hull / armour then bi-weave is a preferable option as you can get back into the fight quicker. I'm currently running bi-weave with a couple of A rated shield boosters but crikey, the shield goes down quickly....am still a little undecided.
Sometimes I do, depends on how my shield / hull is stacking up against my target's. If its looking bad then I'll quit rather than risk it or especially in a combat zone I may be pulling a couple from the opposing side whilst hitting someone else. Funnily enough I got a bit bold last night and ended up losing my ship. I say "funnily", it wasn't that funny at the time
I've not even thought about Fed ranking yet. I hear it's easier to build than Imperial.
That's what I'm doing. The HIP system. I break it up by hitting the RES. Seems a bit cheesy to keep logging to refresh the board, but even doing so, it's still a huge graft and it's at least more work than turning in charity missions for Fed rank.
Just following up on my HIP tactic. I do take the Performance Review missions but only the ones that require killing four sentries or lower. That way, I can clear the lot in a single fly-by with a single missile pod and don't rack up too much bounty.
It does pay well, though. I'm up to 60m in the three days that I've been doing it. By the time I hit Baron rank, I should have enough to buy the Cutter hull and a Clipper with a decent setup and not have to liquidate my fleet. That said, I really like the look of the Anaconda and may be tempted to get one, once I have 200m in the bank.

I'm chipping away on my way to Duke. I'm baron at the moment and 77% on to the next one. I've also nearly got my way to rating 4 with patreus by wrecking ships in expansion systems. The extra 50m per week will come in handy, and it's a good way to get used to combat in the anaconda. I'm pretty happy with it now, but a class A distributor and power plant are on the shopping list for sure! Then I might stick a couple beams on in place of the pulses. Don't think I can get away with full beams though.
Actually really enjoying the anaconda. I thought it would be really sluggish, but it can pitch quite well. The only crap thing is the hardpoints being mostly on the bottom. Makes that huge hardpoint virtually useless with the current class 4 weapons. I just have a large pulse in there for now.
Any news on when we can expect engineers or is it still "spring"

Sure you didn't murder an innocent? Usually you don't get a fine that big for just accidental strafing.
Also, new skins for the anaconda! And a decent sale on them too. Excellent timing imo
Got a link to where I can have a looksee, please? I'm at work and am limited in what I can search for. :/
Here ya go

I picked up the tactical pack as while I wanted some colour, I also didn't want to be a beacon in the night.
Thanks. Yeah, the tactical pack is probably the one I would choose. The grey looks the best out of the lot. I missed out on the Black Friday one.
