I use a conda for passenger missions.

I regularly fill all my cabins for several missions stacked for the same destination.

4,186,306.50 Ls is a very long way, morale of the story read the board correctly

 

[Dano]

For the Mug!!!

 

[Mr.Cookie]

Hey it said 12 million, that was the number I saw

 

[Fishbait]

If you're the trading sort of spacehead, this may be of use to you.

Someone does a quick round of trading route with/without return runs & shows how much you'll have to spend & what you can make, per ton.

 

[Mr.Cookie]

I've got a passenger run at the moment which makes about 90 million an hour, just have to be ready to avoid interdiction.

Bull, Bull Bull,...LOL

Prove it...Please pretty please I could do with a good run. Ever since they nerfed quince. Its kinda taken the edge off it for me.

I have no doubt I'll get it back. But I enjoy having one goal at a time and then move onto the next one.

I'm in an A rated vulture at the moment starting to grind the engineers. Farsee level 2 at the moment. But i'm finding it very limited as a multi role craft.

A good passenger run would be fantastic.

Am I lucky in that i've been interdicted but I've always managed to block it.


What kind of passengers..............Slave kind????

Why don't you share bud?

 

[Mr.Cookie]

Stacked passenger missions around LHS 380 to 36 Orphiuchi, you may need to get friendly first but the last two nights I had several trips ranging from 30 mill to 5 mill which ended up with 92 million by the time we got there.



Ps I'm in an A rated Python with 58 Business Class Cabins

 

[One Vision]

I have loads of routes making millions, thing is it's so boring doing so. Wait until you have a few billion and you'll see.

If you have a few billion why on earth are you running passenger missions?

This....

Money doesn't make you happy.

But what it does give you is options.

 

[tracertong]

Money doesn't make you happy.

But what it does give you is options.

Options to do exactly the same thing but in a different ship.

 

[mattyg]

Options to do exactly the same thing but in a different ship.

Exactly, glad you understand...Some don't! Who wants to fight the Thargoids or traverse the known universe in a sidey

Getting bored with this again, think I'm going to sell all of my ships then mod the crap out of an ASPExp, seems to be the ship I keep going back too, or maybe an 'Conda and go fly off somewhere...

I've been running missions around the area and had one this morning for 40 million to 36 Orphiuchi, 2 minutes into the trip I get an alternate destination that is less than 200ls from the emergence point of a star about 9ly away, easy money

Am now Elite in trade rank as well as Exploration due to the silly payouts for these passenger missions, just combat to go which is the one I will actually need to work for, I feel a bit cheated to be honest, almost tempted to get them to reset my ranks...

It is bizarre when they asked to be dropped round the corner I just stick a movie on and do the long haul

I'm working on elite combat at the moment as well, it's nice having a bit of a safety blanket though.

I love the Asp Explorer kinda reminds me of the drop ship in Aliens!

AspX is my most flown ship by far, just love the thing to bits. I tried exploring in an Anaconda and hated it, such a slow beast to turn in comparison, very unwieldy and the view out of the thing is just horrid when compared to the AspX.

Trying to decide if I should stay and work on my Federation rank while working towards Elite in combat or if I should move into the Empire and get the rank required for a Cutter for the giggles.

 

[Mark1989]

Can some one explain this game to me? I'd love a space game does it have dog fighting like eve valkryie or is it more serious sim type?
