It will depend on which blueprints drop for you.īy the time I had had upgraded to the Anaan ship and maxed out my weapons and equipment I was 10th level and had about 6M in credits. However you only get the Kahador drive after you've really started the campaign so my next option is the Rhoda Blackhole and the Hnookk which both have modest requirements to make and lots of profit when you sell. It does take tons of equipment to make so extra storage beyond what you are using for your high ticket trading items is needed. The very best is the Kahador drive as it takes about 20K (you mine all the ores yourself although you might want to purchase the cores) and you sell it for 400K. Blueprints usually provide the best versions of equipment (shield, cloak, secondary weapons). They drop very rarely so hitting all the stations in a system is a very good idea. You get blueprints from sellers in the space lounge. While you are travelling around you should also note stations that have large quantities of commodities for crafting. How much you carry will depend on your storage capacity. You should try to keep at least 20 of each as the offers are never over 20 tons and the best results are from large numbers in a sale. I travelled to every station in every star system and noted the best stations for each item. you can find rare animals, plants, and implants in Terran space at the top of the map, but the rest tends toward the bottom more dangerous area. I recommend that you only carry rare animals, rare plants, organs, vossk organs, buskart, collectible items, and implants. Of course you need valuable items to sell to get the best result. You can usually get a 100% markup on items this way. They will respond with a different desired product and # of items each time. Feel free to turn them down and ask again, again, and again. However, almost every station has someone in the space lounge offering a premium for certain items. The margins on trade goods are very poor so travelling from port to port buying and selling doesn't work. The two best ways to make money are trading and crafting, but not trading as you would expect. So ship equipment I would prioritize is shield, compression, mining laser, scanner, and booster You also don't need secondary weapons unless you really want to engage in combat. Steering nozzels also are not important if you aren't fighting. This will give your shield time to recover and then you can boost for the space station. If a pirate starts shooting at you, don't run away, fly at it and circle behind it. Don't bother to install a tractor beam as capturing loot from fallen ships also gives you a bad reputation. Don't attack pirates as that gives you a bad reputation with their faction. The original ship doesn't have much storage so upgrade the compression device first.ĭon't worry about combat or weapons beyond getting a good shield as every time you go to a station you automatically are fixed. Then I started upgrading all my systems as best I could while continuing to mine. The best ore is titanium and that is most available in the more dangerous locations so instead I concentrated on Orichalzine or Hypanium and didn't leave the first location until I had 100K in credits. While I find the mining mini-game rapidly tiring at least it makes sense. The best way to earn money in the early game is mining. I aways want the best ship I can get before I start the main questline. This is just my playing style but it works for me.
