As per TBK's thread, don't tractor the nomad guns. Slight bug atm, they're working onit. The new nomad protypes aren't covered by the anticheat software and will get you banned, so best to leave em til it's fixed. Have a crack at the Battleships in NY and Beta for a while instead

lol. And they say crime doesn't pay That's why we're always giving away cardi to new players on the server, and chucking millions of credits of cardi into space at our cardi parties

Freighting or missions. If your hard at it you make 2-3 million/hr. ;-) OK, I blow around 85% of what I earn each week, so, in hours, that's... 2400 hours of work Only 100 days if you play it solid

FYI 'Turkeymullet', 'Mr' Solo is a diehard FL Pilot, and puts in many many hours on GOI. Hans is very proficient in all aspects of FL and is a Veteran of GOI... His 'brag' is based on the effort He puts into GOI FL. and OSG/FU, he makes the time to get online and his Stats support this... Put in as much time as 'Herr Solo' does and you'll be up with the 'Elite' Pilots too.... (He also has set up many Accounts and Pilot Chars) TM, Set up extra untagged Private Characters in VHFs and mebbe another in a Drom, Mission away and Trade to relax, bit by bit it adds up, but getting online regularly is the trick, and with connection dificulties and RLIBs sometimes it seems a big ask...set some smaller, acheivable goals and soon the 'dosh' flows in easily. Setting up new chars also encourages you to go Wreck raiding for Rippers etc, and to get them you gotta move around a bit too, thats where the time is spent, flying around Sirrius from System to System.... earning a $, wherever its possible... and discovering where to get the best value in online time.... thats where the skills for FL are learned, Out there, somewhere... rep management becomes a hassle if you gotta fly Neutral for Battles, a 2nd Clan Tagged Vessel for Missions and Duelling may be a good place to continue your career in FL... I seldom get online lately and at one point recently, at the end of a battle or two, my [bass] VHFs were so broke i couldnt buy Bots or Bats.....so you ain't in 'skid row' alone, mate.....I been there a few times too.. Do your best , ask for Clan Pilot assistance if you are struggling, WE want you to survive, Fleggy

Well, the 100M lotto win did help a lot. Most of my cash comes from when I played over dial-up, for one it was too slow for PvP, and also I wanted to make the most of my 25c phone call, so I'd generally freight for 6 hours until I was disconnected..
But that's the crux of it. I try to make sure my "balance" goes up rather than down, and just like RL savings a little each week can soon start to add up.
There are lots of ways to make cash. If you feel like shooting, run missions, if your half asleep, trade til you drop.. literally, most vets have fallen asleep at the wheel.
Every new char I make I cycle through the wrecks. No one uses codes so they're often intact, it's something different to do for a while and if you get em all there's 4-5M for the char. In addition, you can make around 1M by trading as you setup new chars, just by hauling goods along the route. If you have to move a battle char across sirius, why no t load up on freight? That is how Sc@pe made it to Gammu in his starflea with cash to spare, while the others couldn't afford regens..
I (try) to make enough cash each week with my freighters to cover my ammo bills, and a dd a little to the kitty. Anything from the cardi runs or mission ships is a little bonus. But really mate, what do you really need the money for anyway? As long as you have enough stashed away for the dry times when RL gets a bit too busy, the rest is just surplus that piles up over time. But a 'capitalist' ethic, making cash whenever possible, can save you the work/time of doing things just for the sakes of money.
Oh, and don't use torpedos/missiles/mines on your mission ships, ends up costing you more than you earn ;-)
