X-TRA POLLS Round #10 | What are your favourite methods for gaining quick money? (vote five options!)

[humility925]

I will not share it, or it will be nerfed.

I will not tell the my colleagues, pinky promise!

Don't tell him, Erqco, he will share with his colleagues and program nerfed to ground!!!

The methods with highest ratings will get nerfs

Ah, Cheat Mod is one of most quickest money gaining even they put this in poll, they never nerfed mightly Cheat Mod! But I'm thankful Cheat Mod is not in Poll so Cheat Mod is safe from wrath of game developer desire to nerfed it. (I vote "Other Method" (cheat mod) in poll) It's had low rating.

Selling advanced satellites between equipment docks and wharfs, buying for 50,000 credits and selling for 70,000 credits, making 1 million credits per run. Because, a scout ship can hold 50 advanced satellites, which is the equivalent in wares of 15,000 m3.

(I'm sharing this because I want it to be nerfed, even though I have abused the heck out of it in the past)

Is a pitty that we can't automatize this process. It's a method I use too. It's interesting that according to the law of supply and demand, if you use a builder to fill all the satellites, when you return, the price is no longer the same price, and you have to look for other docks.

I picked the nvidium mining one because i like doing it...well i would like it if there was actually enough nvidium to find yourself.

Seriously, adding more valuable resources that are available in small quantities would be really cool for space mining enthousiasts like myself.

Poll

My Favorite way of gaining money is to grow a mining empire that becomes a trading empire that becomes a military empire that rivals the Argon Federation.
Then I send the Argon my demands. Give me Argon Prime or face the consequences!
The Argon decide to flip me the bird and so I have no choice but to attack.
Thus the Great War begins!

Depends on what you mean by 'quick money'. I prefer not to become too rich too fast (particularly in the first few days of a new game), so actively avoid quite a lot of the options listed in the poll. However to generate a bit of spare change I do rather a lot of missions, over 1200 of them in my current game, which has been running for around 31 in-game days. I usually start with generic missions from random stations, then focus almost exclusively on guild missions when I have the appropriate rep. In most games I also do a fair number of missions for SCA, so also voted for 'hidden, piracy related missions'.

Delete this post if needed:
L shjip in xenon space give enough credits for boarding gear then few SCA ships and ofc selling TER ships (weapons) to war missions + 50% credits. Still not sure if this is good or bad.

Getting patrol mission paired with police license can get some serious cash killing xenons or enemy of the state. I got one in Family Zhin in early game it’s very good and fast money.

[alt3rn1ty]

Very early game I used to really like Crystal hunting.
But thats not worth the time bothering with now, its no longer enjoyable. I realise why it was nerfed, but nerfing it has ruined it for those of us who did not abuse it.
So really I have no favourites, its just a case of anything that achieves the aims.

Just played 7.10 after longtime not playing x4, in the meanwhile nvidium is available, almost everywhere in excessive amounts (AutoMine, never Mined by myself sofar)


To the commonts about nerfing your/their favourite option:
I hope its more about finding lesser interesting ones and optimize them, output and/or gameplay wise
in this case Im also fine with a few nerfs

[LameFox]

Yes, there's a lot of nvidium out there... sort of.

The problem is that your autominers harvest slowly and steadily from a resource field while you aren't around, without having to find asteroids. So it works in those very low amounts that way. But if you went and did it in person, you have to find an actual asteroid being simulated. And even in areas that are relatively well off in nvidium, the chance of those asteroids spawning is still very low, and you can go an *extremely* long time without finding any at all. It is not balanced very well IMO.

As for crystals... I didn't mind the reduction in profit per se. It's a pretty peaceful activity, almost meditative, so I don't think it needs to be extremely quick money. But the way they went about reducing the rare finds made it very disappointing to do. I don't even remember the last time I found one that wasn't the blue or purple, and I still sometimes spend hours looking, just because it's so relaxing.
