Sidequests/little jobs?

[SaschaCGN]

Hi,
I just started campaign and found the wreck of my father´s ship. There is a sidequest on the map, which is recommended for level 5. Because I´m only level 2, I want to grind a bit, but... I have no idea how to get little easy quests to earn credits and XP. Didn´t find anything about it in the tutorial, on planet trinity or google. :(
Can anybody please help where I get easy random quests in this game?

You find freelance missions the same waty than main and side -they just are a different color on the map.
Note however than missions are good for exp aad reputation, but not for money. Do other things for income.

I had the same problem and another player suggested saving the game then reloading it. It will generate new missions more appropriate to you level. Beware of the fact that purely doing missions will leave you severely hampered as the ships you encounter will increase in difficulty if you follow the story as I did. Missions are great for xp but not for money. Money should be number one priority. Boarding ships and selling them seems to be the best way to do this.

I took another suggested route of adding more credits to my save game as I was way over level but undergeared for how far I'd progressed in the story and even freelance missions were deadly to me.

If I could change one thing about the game it would be xp that was the grind and not the cash

During my limited playtime, I'd probably say boarding ships. Haul them back to a station and you'll most likely get 140k and above - Rinse and repeat. Main mission will also give you a good chunk of cash and of couse there's side missions and mining. Mining is so so when you have limited cargo space, I have yet to find a freigther that doesn't cost over 6 mil.


I just boarded this ship during a mission, check the sell amount

science and maitenance missions are super easy, you can do those at any level. even if you are level 2 and it is a level 5 or higher science or maitenance mission, it will still be very easy to do worth alot of xp and some credits.

Remember that xp will push your level forward and increase npc difficulty. It really is that punishing if your bank balance doesn't match the cost of required ship needed to do the missions that your being offered.

You have to take time out to just concentrate on building up your cash reserves or get punished and ship boarding and selling is the way to go. Pick a ship that holds as many troopers as possible and officers that boost ship boarding skills
