Elite Dangerous

Best Way to make credits in June of 2023?
I mostly do trading or mining. And I want to save up for a fleet carrier. what's the new meta? Without using Exploits? I have almost 4 bill in assets with 1.6 bill for my current credit balance.

If only mining then Platinum.
Otherwise exobiology or Thargoid hunting
From your preferences I gather that Exobiology would be more your thing.
I made about 900 million on a 1200LY trip.

trading in a wing makes the most from what i seen can make upto 300 million every couple of minutes best works with full max wing. 3 people or you and two others.

expansion missions you will have a FC in a week or less just depends how much you want to play elite.

Carrier. When I used to play I'd make billions in a couple hours, gotta have the credits to have it in the first place though.
Tritium distribution is actually a really good market!!
I usually stocked up on 10-15k trit at least 20% below market average and then sniped buy(I sell to them) orders at least 35-50% above market average with the occasional 100-200% above market average sales.

I'm not sure that Platinum is actually the way to go anymore, it's okay if you can find a decently high price for it plus a high demand. I'd be willing to bet it is easier to find high prices and demand for Osmium. Sure, Platinum might fetch an additional 60-100K selling directly to the NPC markets, but the Demand won't keep the price high; and furthermore, the Mission Boards will pay MUCH more for Osmium (between 300-450K / ton) than the Markets will. Volume of trade for Missions will be lower, true, but at double the profit.

Platinum - at least, last I checked - wasn't something the NPC missions were looking for.

And speaking of things worth mining for Mission Board jobs / pay; Bromellite and Tritium are the 2 most valuable commodities I've found in Icy Rings. Tritium can fetch as much or more than Osmium that way. The Third place medal goes to Low Temp Diamonds, because its so easy to get a lot of them.

RE: Tritium; The sky isn't the limit when marking it up on your FC Market board, but it can be worth at least as much as NPC Missions will pay for it, which is to say NPCs and other Commanders will pay 200-900% the Galactic Average for it. FC Commanders will happily pay premium credits to have it delivered directly to their FC.

Kill pirates while doing massacre missions at max reputation for the factions giving out those missions. You can get 40mil credits per mission plus the bounties. Preferably do missions that send you to a system that has a medium-hazardous resource extraction site.

If you suck at fighting then do trade missions. There are item delivery trade missions that are doable solo that can pay up to 50mil credits. You will need a Type-9 at minimum, and no the Anaconda would not be recommended for hauling the 3000+ cargo those missions require you to move.

Doing anti-xeno activities also pays out but requires a lot of prep work. You can look that info up your self on how and what to do. Preferably do this with friends. Done right you will walk away with hundred of millions at the end of each session.

Mining is still a thing. But this one is now slower. Way slower. The implementation of market crashing really killed off the speed you get credits from mining.

So far these are the "meta" ways at the moment.

Fastest ways to get credits at the moment: anti-xeno>pirate killing>trade missions>mining

You also now get full credit for being crew in an anti-xeno hunting ship. So if you know someone that would not mind dragging you along to man the fighters you would have full reward and 0 risk or rebuy fees.

^^ RE: 50 Million Credit NPC Missions; Not all high reward missions are the same. Its almost always better to look for missions that don't need a Wing, so that the volume of cargo is less than a single T9 can take, anyway. In other words, avoid missions which want you to shift more than 100 units of cargo.

Most things pay well its really just a consistency thing. I say use multiple methods be it mining, exobiology, on foot high czs, trading, anti xeno or massacre stacking. all of them will get you to a fleet carrier

one no risk option is to do on foot combat sites, i personally like those most, i use taxi to casually go to fight so it is not most fastest way grind those. It is fun and make decent amount of cash, about 10+ million / fight and if you really want to boost those it can go double

Goid murder.

Every Clops is 6.5mil, and you can clap one in seconds if you know how (and have what people call a Copeconda).

And if you're just using EAXMCs, yeah, with 4 large and 2 medium, the Clopses never know what hit them.

Plus you can stack the kill missions as well. Very very lucrative.
