Hello its Ricardo and welcome to elite dangerous I thought I'd go and revisit
some of my old haunts and see if there's any point in going back there because if
I can make some money probably like a lot of you I've taken quite a hit on
going up and buying that type 10 defender and we know the chieftain is on
its way with it beyond update that's going to be coming at the end of quarter
one so I thought I'd head on over to itea orbital in the rear system the
subject of many many many videos in the past the safe is still viable to make
some money now haven't read them so please click the like and subscribe
button and then a notification icon and that'll let you know when I'm put in
more videos of elite dangerous and other games on YouTube and generally I post
several times a week now as you can see ria system is home to ITA orbital and
itea orbital is an agricultural station now generally when we're looking for
passenger missions I've got the glint of the badges I my Beluga all kitted out
with economy class passenger cabins all the same and that way then you can merge
all your passengers into one great big bulk now like I say I'm not expecting to
earn many like what you used to earn in the old days before Rio is fixed but I
thought it'd be quite interesting exactly how much I possibly could earn
now I'm currently operating around about a hundred and six million at the moment
but the time of this first video you know I was operating around 96 now I did
a couple of runs whatever about 10 million as you can see as I'm going
through the board picking out the missions to lq hydra
and voila horizons that's very important gotta try and get the same station and
in Walla horizons in lq hydra only Walla horizons is the station of choice as
only that station there but on the way back you might be tempted and you'll get
diverted and you'll go down a rabbit hole
and what will happen is you end up flying all over the place to get some
money because you get to check cherry-pick these these passenger
missions you think oh wait that's 500,000 credits I'll have
that or hey you know that's a million credits if I just go over here and then
you go off the beaten path and you get down that rabbit hole of not staying on
message with this very important to stay on message and I think you can make a
tiny bit of earning so I'm coming through now I'm checking all the boards
I'm making sure that my cargo hall is empty because with a lot of these
passenger missions as well you do tend to get rewards in the shape of like I
don't know nano breakers or some other spurious
stuff like microwave hosing so then what I'm gonna do now is what we call a board
hop I'm gonna drop out to the main menu and change game modes now I'm currently
in open play so now I'm going to change to solo mode or private mode one of
those two modes makes no real difference you can go through them all then go into
the passenger mission board and then take a look of what this version of the
game and their separate versions of the game can offer you as you can see
straight away another two million to be got there right with twenty passengers
checking about we've got a couple of individuals nine refugees therefore
700,000 not fantastic but you know not bad as you might try and fill up your
cargo hold so in short yes I think you know and I'm
not particularly you know up there with faction reputation and cordial as that
increases to friendly I assume that there's going to be even higher paying
missions and I think the idea of all this is going to be perseverance so I
think in short and there's a lot more to this video as well but
come out and say it that Rhea is not as lucrative as it used to be doing the
board hop you can use that to subvert some of the game mechanics frontier
don't think it's a cheat they say so now the game is designed fair enough we're
okay with that and then what you can do is is you can fill your hold
there's many missions as you possibly can paying as much as you possibly can
you'll increase your reputation you'll increase your faction rank and you're
gonna increase your money so when those new ships come out this is gonna be the
way to do it now it's not only Rhea and the itor 'but all you can do this on
you've got to go out there and cherry-pick your missions from your
stations and by getting allied or friendly at least with these stations
and doing passenger missions you can make a lot of money now there are those
of you out there who are making even more money by doing the long-distance
missions I'm not I'm in it for a quick win there I'm back nice and easy before
the kids wake up in the morning you know and everything goes crazy jump on elite
dangerous you get your fix for the day and anything goes a little bit smoother
and you've made a few in-game credits as well so there you go there's the glint
of the badges I heard the take off and head on over to Walla horizons
we'll use any ship to go and do these runs you haven't got to have a passenger
liner some of the bigger ships type six type nine that's a big old unit and some
of the big ones they perfectly fine the cutters great sticks and passenger
lounges in there you know economy ones as you can see you know in lq hi lq
hydra wala horizons is fourteen thousand light seconds away from the arrival
point so when you do drop into system be prepared for a little bit of a drive
okay at that point you're gonna be vulnerable
and if you've got illegal passengers or passengers that have got some interests
from the local community then you know you're gonna see a little bit of action
things you can do to stop that action from happening keep your heat signature
which is in the bottom right hand side nice and low this can be accomplished by
turning off some of the modules not generally using weapons for example and
if you're approaching that station with illegal passengers make sure you turn
off things like life support use heat sinks you know make sure you're in
silent running mode that cuts down the heat signature and you won't get scanned
but anyway we haven't got anybody who's got that sort of status with us at the
moment and we're on our approach to pad 225 now the ship's like the Beluga
they're a big old unit so be careful when landing and you're gonna stray into
other people's landing pads on your approach unless you're flying the
occurrence of a Harrier Jump Jet so you know just be warned get in there
land do what you gotta do and get out so soon as are in the station as you can
see we're on one hundred and five thousand eight
hundred and ninety-nine credits not a fortune by any standards and as all you
billionaire boys who have been epic quince doing whatever before they got
more money than that but like you say I'm on the rebuilding of the fortune
drive and now we can start going through and cashing in our missions 1,400,000
for that one two point one four million and the like
now we're also accruing as I mentioned some cargo and some rewards for doing it
articulation motors and the like but you can see my reputation is also increasing
and I'm going through the ranks with the superpower at which I'm already alloyed
with or friendly with which is great a more friendly Rio with a superpower
and the factions the better missions you can again so there you go
I've stated I've claimed all my rewards now just to check this now quick scroll
up and down the screen out of the passenger mission section into
commodities and you can see I've got 12 tonnes of cargo space used out of my 16
that I've currently got on the ship yes I could have fill it all up with
additional passenger lounges but hey you've got to have somewhere to put that
cargo or you can complete your missions and that's the important thing to
remember make sure you've got at least a bit of cargo so and then with that you
can see them up to 117 million ok so that's a profit of around about 11.5
million for a run and it took know what ten minutes so you're gonna get a
roundabout if you apply yourself in an hour about 50 million right doing the
board hopping and the like well thank you very much for your attention and
