Hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to reboot and restart my series where we
start are they dangerous again let's talk a little bit now about
skimmer missions a lot of videos been done on skimmer missions how does that
affect the new player well thinking that you can just rock into the system in
question and get a per skimmer mission for a million credits a time it's not
gonna happen the way to getting these high-paying missions is gonna be
reputation and influence with the local systems the more reputation and
influence through those systems the more higher paying missions you're gonna get
now an awful lot was made on YouTube lately by an awful lot of commanders
with a hundred million an hour for skimmer missions yeah it's really great
do it now before it gets nerfed and lo and behold it looks like it's already
being nerfed but these things tend to come round again and again and for the
inexperienced player or the player who's just been starting out or like me for a
player doesn't tend to do these Commission's an awful lot it's good to
have a little bit of a recap anyway you've got to go and do a bit of
grinding and when I say grinding you've got to get yourself into this particular
system don't go to the station everybody thinks there's been advertised within
the YouTube video have a look around have a look around the system see what
other stations could be out there handing out similar sort of missions to
these areas this particular skimmer missioner Oxley point I think it was or
Oxley base was great because it was very lightly defended if you go for a base
and get similar sort of skimmer missions in a more heavily defended base you're
gonna feel the wrath of the elite dangerous crime and punishment system
and find yourself with a bounty on your head
and in a detention center so the premise of this skimmer mission idea is
basically this you go to a station you pick up all these missions for the same
location you equip whatever ship you're gonna use with missiles you fly towards
the base it says proximity alert the skimmers
come out skimmers you back off a little bit pips are the shields get your
missiles out shoot those skimmers kaboom right you may fulfill one or two
missions that you've picked up you back off
you'd go forward again the skimmers come back out they respawn let them have it
with the missiles again and and then while you are where you were you start
completing missile missions upon missions upon missions upon missions and
making a hell of a lot of money I was able to make by doing this in my Cobra
which I've managed to scrape my way up to I went from 7 million till about 55
million on two runs okay and that's just by going through and getting missions
for the same location and heading back over there and letting him at it with
the missiles incidentally though I think it's probably important to note that I
went back to do it again a little bit later on the day and the transactions
weren't being logged by the server therefore I think frontier have canceled
it so they'll rebalance it in an update we all said it was going to be nerfed
and it looks like it has been although this account as I've been saying is
being played on Steam I've got an account on Steam and I've got my account
directly frontier and I haven't tried them on the frontier cuz I'm doing other
stuff with the Guardians on that account so there you go there's a quick
breakdown of what to do with the skimmer emissions and why it could also be
nerfed this nerfing I could say we knew it was going to happen and I'm surprised
it went on so long so it all kicked off over the weekend of course in the UK we
had the snow comeback in frontier have gone goodness gracious me let's put a
stop to all this money making and then we are where we are so if you like what
