Your AFK Build & How you do Your AFK Farm?

[Wolff]

I’m sitting at 49% combat rank expert and I've started doing AFK farming again. Saving up for the Fleet Carrier and want at least 10 billion before buying. AFK pirate farming is my biggest way of making credits. Everyone has different ways of making credits but AFK is my way.

Now that my rank in combat is higher, I’m getting tougher NPCs interdicting me, that I had to change up the way I’ve been doing AFK. When I pick up missions at 3 different systems, I’ll use my Mamba for that and it is my highest dps ship out of the three for farming. I make sure now to only grab one mission from each faction leader in a system, I also don’t use a kill warrant scanner anymore. I would rather just finish off the missions as quickly as possible and get paid up to 30 million for a mission. After I've grabbed all my missions, I’ll take out the Corvette and get all the interdictions taken care of and it is a very fun ship to fly. All interdictions taken care of, I’ll head out in my Type 10 and this is the only time I won’t be in VR. Last night I fell asleep and thought for sure I would have taken damage and lost my NPC pilot but, all was good. Got a great tip from Genitor and have your cargo hatch at lvl 3 priority just in case your ship gets into trouble and might survive after losing all your cargo.

Just curious how others do there AFK and how you build your ship.

For grabbing missions and I do get interdicted doing this, Mamba.

Re the carrier, you only need 5.2 billion (the 200 mill is for ship rebuys)

The second you have the carrier you open up a lot more ways to make a lot more money, and you'll have enough to fit all the services and have upkeep for months.

The carrier comes with 500t of trit, which is more than enough to move around the bubble for a while, trading and filling hauling missions.

[Wolff]

Oh, I thought the FC is 5 billion and after adding all the upgrades you would be close to 10 billion. Cool, might get it quicker then I thought. Almost making 250 million a day, won't take long.

Thank you!

Where exactly are you farming bounties? For AFK you need to be in a RES [Low], and you won't get any higher level pirates no matter which missions you take.

[Sighman]

If you want you can join us in Croatigae in about 5 days. We make huge amounts hauling cargo missions.

[Sighman]

Otherwise wing bounty hunting in Ngalinn/Mainani. We were just there last week and I made 1.5 billion over 2-3 sessions.

I'm based at Njemari and I farm at HIP 35096. I get interdicted on the way to the low rez by up to elite NPCs now. After I kill off the pirates after me I go out with the type 10 at low rez. My type 10 can take care of master and up Anacondas but just takes longer.

[Sighman]

How many factions offer missions to that system? In ngalinn it's 4-6 factions, usually 4, but it's a small station so you have to exchange ships at HIP 11241

(Or you can just pop pirates in a med/small ship. They're only Competent and below.)

[Wolff]

Three different station in my home system and I try not to grab the same faction for missions. Two different stations at Bruth and one at Prthi. All give missions for HIP 35096.

[Sighman]

Okay. In Ngalinn they only go to one system, and there's only one station to get them from.
PS if you wing up you can share the kills and rewards with up to three others - it quadruples your earnings.

[Wolff]

Eh, I understand teaming up you can make more. They changed things up after last update. I no longer get lag with AFK anymore and I just keep a eye on it once in a while. Getting interdicted, I look forward to it and helps with my rank getting higher. I keep going with my Corvette and farm at a Haz rez for materials using limpets after killing higher lvl NPCs. When I get tired head back and jump in my Type 10. Place him where I want it and do other things instead of sitting in front of a computer :)

What's the point of playing a game if you're not playing the game?

It's only about 6 Bil. But you don't need those upgrades right away. Get the base carrier - it will give you a lot of cargo space. Use that cargo space, and you will earn credits much faster than if you don't buy it but keep your AFK farming. Even with a simple trading: loading it with cheap stuff, and selling that stuff where it's expensive.

[Sighman]

Palladium is a great item to trade when you have a carrier. If you don't mind hauling you can make a stable 350m per carrier run of 15,000 tons.

The low and high is pretty static, and you can easily do the (usually) 200+ light year jump from the pickup to delivery station. Then you're just hauling back and forth over 5-10Mm.

[Wolff]

Awesome and looking forward to mining again when I get the FC. Haven't mined since 2016 so, will have to catch up on some videos later. Looking forward to exploring and mining for sure.

lol you don't have to leave, but if you need to go to the washroom or go for a smoke, get a drink. It's a nice relaxing way to make credits.

I take my 'afk' type 10 out but I don't AFK. I usually get into the fighter and tag enemies, and then the T10 opens up on them.
