>>35CMDR…ah hell, what's the point of going to an anonymous imageboard if you drop the "anonymous" part?
Location is several
kly out going coreward and loosely anti-spinward. Not headed to Sag. A* like everyone else.
>>88Playstyle depends on your gameplay preferences anon. And your RL gear.
If you have a joystick (any joystick really but the more buttons the better) you can do combat stuff as a serious occupation.
Bounty hunting has been made profitable recently, also you can always use a Kill-Warrent Scanner on a human player to see if they have a bounty on them as well (but they are much harder to kill). Kill scanners can also reveal secret bounties on "innocent" ships or additional bounties on aggressor pirates. You can make a few million a day as a hunter. There's also the sub-profession of assassin, which is also lucrative and a guaranteed payoff on a dangerous target.
Traders are in a position to get a lot of money fast. A trader with 100t cargo and a good route can make upwards of 500k-1m an hour. Over a few days that adds up, and very large ships have capacities that even exceed that. However the larger ships, particularly Lakon ships, are fairly vulnerable birds. Especially against human enemies. However, you can improve your odds, and perhaps profits, if you protect yourself using a wing.
Exploring is very profitable, most of the galaxy is fresh; there's unexplored systems still within 250 lightyears of inhabited space, even. And it's also the most comfy profession. Most explorers are pretty chill, and it's fairly free if NPC pirates once you get past a certain point in space.
Piracy is an option but it's not the best paying one. Getting stolen goods, smuggling them through ports that have black markets, and selling them are all somewhat difficult. There are some impending updates to add more stealth to the game, ships like the Sidewinder or similarly low-profiles will be able to evade sensor scans more easily so that will alleviate some of the difficulty going forward.
Really, it all depends on what you want to do.
