ah taking the python to sag a via colonia and back to colonia netted me 300 mill Nice one. It certainly pays more for exploration than it used to. Earth like worlds, water worlds and ammonia worlds are the big credit earners. 627k just for a earth like world scan. The chart is from here. Lots of guides there for anybody new to the game. Did you do the road to riches route or just set off for Colonia/Sagittarius A?. I'm still trying to get a Sol permit to visit Earth and doing community goals to raise more credits. I've only got 50 million so far but 85m in assets so I could buy a Diamondback explorer or Asp explorer now and head for Sag A too and makes some serious money but I'm helping out a friend on how to play. I suppose I could multi-crew on his ship while I'm heading for Sag A. Have you headed to the Alien sites yet? I'm planning on going soon. Does anybody fancy winging up for the Wing Friends trophy? Needs a wing of 4 players. I plan on platting the game but the CQC trophies could be a pain as its hard to get a game.

i had that exact chart on my tablet and kept an eye on worlds 500 to 1500 ls from the star as they tended to be teraformable and lets not forget that 50% discovery bonus......
what i did was i grinded out to ensign and baron which gave me enough credits for a python think my progression was something like sidey--viper--viper mk4---asp x---python---conda. im actually planning to do alien stuff soon just unlocking the engineers for a bit more shield resistance.. and im up for winging it as well as a bit of CQC... im currently prating about in SOTHIS doing salvage missions as well as occasional trips to the bubble with cargo.. oh i tried flying a dbx made me feel claustrophobic not a good experience but i had just spent a week in my python..

Wow conda already. What's your rebuy on it? I plan to own all the ships one day and move them to locations around the bubble and colonia to do certain activities once I find cool looking systems. Power wise I think I'll end up in the Li Yong-Rui camp for the 15% discount for ships and outfitting. I'll add you to my group for winging up. Any others want in? By the way did you take a picture or note down any systems you first discovered that have earth, water or ammonia world's. Post the pictures in the picture thread if you have them or make a new thread for them. I would like to go to some of the systems and world's you discovered and for the credits too .

Hehe I've just lost every thing when I was shot down, I thought you could insure the ship and keep all mods etc. What I got back was a base ship with out any mods.

You could do the community goals to get you back up and running or if you need a hand to make some quick credits you can multi-crew in my cobra. Remember. Never fly without re-buy. I always have at least 5 rebuys before I consider buying any ship and upgrade it. Downgrade if you don't have at least one re-buy. If its any consolation I've done the same thing when I started playing ED and I'll never forget as I had a Python at the time.
