What are Robingo runs? And how do I do it?

[ThatFederalGuy]

If it helps ill just add I have a vulture and 10 mill credits

Robigo run is long range smug mission. Pilot stack them as much as posible and clear them out for very high reward. Reward gets higher as your trader rank gets higher. Type-6 & ASP is minimum recomendation.

How do I find them? And are they just normal Smug missions or are they very specific?

Just look for the high paying delivery missions.

In the galaxy map look for "Robigo" it's approx 350ly away from populated space.

Get yourself a ship you can do this in 20jumps or less... like a cobra or an Asp.

Be aware of a few things:

The NCPs cheat! A lot I was literraly fuming the first time I did it because I spent a lot of time and each time i had an interdiction attempt after the first couple i thought "this is ridiculous" I couldn't scoop fuel while fighting and there is no where to stop for fuel either... i suffocated after running out of fuel...

So you have to make sure you loadout is good, that you either have enough fuel to do it without refueling, or a good enough scoop it isn't going to take you more than 1 min to fill your tank. You scoop a little bit at each star with a decent scoop while your FSD recharges and you can make it.

But once you get the hang of it it is pretty simple, throttle back and submit to interdictions, boost away so you don't get scanned, and make sure you know how to land "hot" at stations.... you can practice this without risk by simply jumping round a bit and landing at random stations with some normal cargo and trying not to get scanned or going in at full throttle!

One "trick" is to fuel scoop while looking away from the star. One rule NPC can't cheat is to get behind for interdictions; they fall into the sun trying to get to your buttocks.

how much cargo do I need for these runs?

also can anyone help listing which systems offer these missions?

oh and can anyone post a screenshot on how do those missions briefing look like in the game?

cargo requirements are anywhere between 2 to 150 or something like that, if you stack missions make sure you have enough cargo for it.

the system these can be found in, is called Robigo, as stated by mrraybaker.

these missions are called Shadow Deliveries.

[raymazoida]

Shadow deliveries = missiones where you can't be scanned I'm a fewk ly away atm or I'd pop over and help.. but they are literally the same as the smuggling missions in normal space just longer distance.

The systems they goto are many... places you've probably never been to before... the payouts will vary based on the number of slaves and how high your trade rank is, you can make 20mil or so off a run of 60 slaves.

I was asking about which systems other than robigo that offers these high risk high profit smuggling? I heard there are half dozen of such places... and if you don't mind which system is the nearest to the human space?

thanks...

[raymazoida]

Robigo is the nearest..... as for the others, haen't been so wouldn't comment, though I beleive someone else posted some other names earlier (or am i mixing threads?)

[Opportuniste]

This guide was very usefull to me and it will probably be valuable for you too.

Robigo is the only one I was/am aware of, that is why I mentioned it.

GLWT ;)

EDDB has a list of all stations, here's a link to the last page showing the systems that are at the largest distance from Sol. Go back a page for more of them :)
https://eddb.io/station?page=897&per-page=50

The further a station is from the habitated bubble, the more you earn. Type of mission available depends on the station itself.

I used Wirigans at 120 LY from the bubble for a while. The outposts there sometimes had missions for over a million but not with the frequency and earnings of Robigo. It's nice to use as it's a third of the distance compared to Robigo. I picked up most of my missions in Wirigans at the Maire Colony outpost.
