So "warm cargo" trading then... Not bothered with that yet...
So you're going to hip 10716 and picking up passenger mission only to wu guinagi? And only one way? Or are you doing the opposite on the way back?
Not bothered with SLF (fighters) yet as they seem so limp in implementation.
If multi-crew is a "myeh" when released, I predict another little peak of concern again with the design choices...

To mine you can go anywhere in the ring...
Almost certainly even though you've chosen a random spot in a billion square kilometers of ring, there will by sheer chance be NPCs there... And they will of course attack you just because... well, how else would the game make sense?
So as soon as you arrive in the ring, if there's anything on your scanner, fly as fast as you can away from it. If it catches up, you'll probably have to SC out, and back in, and repeat.
If you can out run them, then once your scanner is clear, mine...
ps: Make sure you take a prospector module.
If you are just looking for the fastest boring way to make credits or rep heres your fastest route.
You go to Wu Guinagi load up as many high paying ECONOMY class passenger missions as you can and fly to Hip 10716 (One hop) cash in.(You only want economy cabins for this nothing else).
You then repeat passenger missions in both directions.
Note you do not necessarily want to take the first missions offered, look for the best rate per person.
You can also stack missions using the "Furtive look" relog to a different server method.
If your after rank building take every donation mission you can and pay up.
Some of these can be a million credits and at Earl and Duke seemed to give approx 1% of rank per million credits.
You can easily if selective make more credits than you spend ranking up.
I ranked up the last 2 levels I needed to get myself to Duke in two days following above.
Although the ranking probably cost me something around 100 million credits, I lost 50 million in total plus spent everything I made over 2 days into ranking up.
So strip out all your cargo bays bar one for mission rewards (which you then eject) forget about mats and cargo while doing this just put passenger cabins in and get busy.
Be prepared on docking to check your missions list as it will show if you have no room for cargo rewards which stops you finishing a mission, eject eject eject the crap.
Plenty of time for cargo and mats after you reach your target (whatever that is).
Oh and I am claiming membership of the Cutter (30Ly) / Corvette club
Only problem is I have some Mats I really do not want to part with which means I cannot get any ship of smaller size. I am stuck on Large pads only.
Stupid really as many ships could carry what I have but you can only purchase ships with the minimum amount of cargo racks.
I want to Pre order a ship with specified loadout then Purchase which would get around this problem !
Basically do all the load out selections then purchase all in one click ready to go, no more cannot buy X ship as the default cargo capacity blocks you.
basically what shac said, economy passengers from wu guinagi to hip 10716, then economy passengers back again, sometimes you will get asked to take passengers back to where you got them from and the payout doubles or thereabouts, have made as much as 10 mil in one direction when that happens.
ok so I'm having trouble unlocking selene jean, according to my stats I have refined 766 minerals, but I have not had an invite to selene jean yet, I have rebooted the game 3 times and still no joy, any suggestions, oh and I have got todd the blaster to lvl 2 to get the invite.

I'm looking at getting VoiceAttack and one of the ED voice packs from HCS.
Does anyone know whether there are any functional differences between the different voice packs (e.g. whether the older packs have been updated to support recent additions like on-board fighters etc.)?
Or, are they all the same and it's just a question of choosing which voice you prefer?
