Cheating?

[Mageee]

So, is cheating allowed in the game? Is there a way to become a millionaire without any effort?
There is too much grind for my taste. I play solo and would like to explore and do some spacial rally with the SRV, without the boring part.
I dont want to attack or join anyone (solo play).

If you'd read the licence agreement you agreed to, you'd know.

Spoiler: no.

A millionaire you say?

Well, look at Mr. Moneybags over here! :P

Seriously, these days you can get a million just stacking a few courier missions to the next system over.

Take out a few pirates and you'll have a million if they are high ranked (follow the police around, let them help you).

Or, as is popular at the moment, mining. You can be in an Anaconda within a week... not that you'll have a clue what to do with one once you have it and you won't have a clue how to fly it, but you can have one.

if you want help with mining let me know and i'll have you rolling in money

If they allow cheating it's not cheating is it?
I have hundreds of millions.
I am exploring with a Badger near Colonia and I like it.

So, either Badger is a mistranslation, or you have some kink you probably don't want to be sharing publicly :P

No, and no. The game requires efforts to reach goals. Although, some of efforts were severely reduced.

There is too much grind for my taste.

Then don't grind. Just do what you like in the game.

But if there is nothing that you would like to do from the beginning of the game, then maybe it's just the game that you don't like.

Thanks for the info guys. No cheating.

I have the cheap hauler with basic cargo upgrade, so i think that mining void opals is out of reach for me.
I barely can jump up to 6 LY so i can not accomplish most of basic cargo/messenger quests.
I love the SVR rally though.

I will try some basic mining... this is the most difficult vr game i have played so far.

You do not need to mine void opals, there are many highly valuable commodities in mining that will earn you several hundred thousand credits per unit and that require only a little luck to find even in populated systems. One thing with mining though, you'll want to put in some time collecting materials to synthesise ammo and limpets to extend your stay, especially in smaller ships that don't let you carry useful amounts of limpets.

And honestly, I wouldn't spend much time with the Hauler. It's not all that great. Get any ship to maybe 10 Ly jump range (a range that lets you conveniently go to most places), do a few easy missions or "steal" kills from the cops in resource extraction sites. See that you upgrade to a Viper Mk3 or an Adder. Something like https://s.orbis.zone/4etg should give you great range and a good idea of mining at a decent price if you want to pursue that career.

Dont worry, i will change the hauler fast as possible, it is a very bad ship.

The hauler is magnificent when it comes to smuggling; all ships have roles, learning how to use them at peak efficiency is the key to the game.

Make millions a, I got offered over a million credits the other day just to haul 80 tons of biowaste 1 jump away,

Core mining is where it's at, and not just opals, nearly all core stuff is big credits, the low end being 700 or 800 credits, the high end stuff being 1.2 to 1.6 million.

Last load in my Type 9 took me under 5 hours to collect,
651 tons of goodies, 765.5 million.

Go to Hutton. Less than an hour, free mug.
