Best solo money?
Currently I am doing passenger missions to Sirius Atmospherics pullling 9-12 million every 10 minutes. Would there be anything better that i can currently do to make more?

Thank you,

I honestly hate mining. No matter which kind, it takes too long. How much are we talking?

Im thinking of re-engineering to take missions into the black. No?

You're not gonna mine anything, you get 20 wing mining missions worth 50 million each then buy the ore for it, then you wing up with 3 other people and all of you get like 4 billion

Thanks for the idea, however, I dont think i would find 2 others on Legacy that A can fight and B would be dedicated in finishing the missions. But, i could be wrong.

expansions missions you can make up to 50 mil in a wing in 2 to 3 mins

Instead of just trying to find what's the most profitable, just do things you enjoy. Credits come relatively easy in Elite, and you'll have a much better time doing something you enjoy than something grindy.

Change of pace try Exo Biology. it's more of a long term gain than a bunch of short paychecks. Take a few weeks and jump a few thousand lightyears away from the bubble, scan land and scan. rinse repeat and turn in exo biology and exploration data for big money.
IF you took a non standard route from SOL to Colonia, you could potentially make billions if you took your time but this would take almost a month if you did it right.

Im on Legacy, i do not believe that is possible on Legacy but, if not, thank you for trying to help.

Too bad. Can confirm that going off the beaten path to Colonia can be rewarding. If you find the right spot (like anything in Elite) you can make money much faster than months. I found a handful of systems and made over 5 billion. Took two days to scan all the bio signals, but well worth it. And well worth the investment into my carrier to help me get there and back.

Any suggestions for Legacy?

Stack massacre missions in Ngalinn. That's how I got my carrier, solo, a few years back. Took me about a week.

There's no fighting with wing mining missions, and you can do them solo.

i am doubtful i can do the massacre missions. Although i have not tried in many upgrades but i do not recall gaining that much more DPS. Something ill need to work on and thank you for the info.
