Sorry for bumping, but this is the only ED discussion I've seen on here. What do you recommend doing around 10mil? I've mined, traded regular commodities, and now I'm running rares and doing missions that seem fun (nearby smuggling, mostly). I've never tried bounty hunting, but it doesn't seem very profitable. Currently in trading-spec'd Cobra.

Currently in trading-spec'd Cobra.There's this one system that is pretty popular because it consistently gives high-value missions. Can't remember the name but it should be easy to find on google. apparently there's a lot of people going there bevause of this so it's known as the go to spot for missions.I think it's called Robino or something along those lines

Currently in trading-spec'd Cobra.You can upgrade to the Type-6 for trading and get something in the tier of 1mil per hour. You can also try upgrading to a Vulture and try bounty hunting. 10million is a good place to start for a lot of career choices ingame.Also I just logged on and saw the updated thread. RIP

They're profitable in the long run but they're some of the most consistently frustrating and inconsistent money-making missions in the entire game. I'd opt for proper trading or bounty hunting any day.

RIPI think I'm using the Viper MKIV, 2x minigun, 2x beam laser, point defence with the best shielding and armour I could get. I'm getting the upper hand against anyone up to competant, or dangerous is they're alone. I tried joining the federal invasion of a system the other day though (Okinura I think?) and I got fucking destroyed by the system resistance. I might have to wait for the vulture before going into an actual battle.

Is it still like that or is it back open for trade?

Not only does it have very little reserve power but the Class 3 capacitor can't handle them well either. I'd opt for Pulse tbh. Also, Point Defence probably isn't the best choice overall but I can see the appeal on a small ship as missiles can do quite a bit of damage towards them.Definitely wait until you get Vulture money before trying to take part in a Conflict Zone.

I remember the beam lasers from the tutorials (One mission had 4 of them) and they were a blast to use. They've been serving me pretty well, especially if I alternate between lasers and miniguns.

They've been serving me pretty well, especially if I alternate between lasers and miniguns.The Supply Strike mission features a Vulture which uses a Beam Laser. The difference is that the Vulture utilizes Class 3 hardpoints whereas the Viper only goes up to Class 2. If it works for you then dank but generally speaking I never ran Beams on the small combat ships.
Currently running a vulture with class 3 gimballed pulse lasers and a bunch of shield boosters and hull reinforcements. I slaughter everything short of wings of anacondas. Also, Robigo was fantastic. I used a cobra with lots of extra fuel so I could go like 600Ly without refueling. It's like 5mil per hour on a decent trip.
HOOOLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TT
nah youre rendering a couple spheres and a skybox plus your own ship 99% of the timeas long as you have a dedicated gpu made in the last 3 years you should be able to run it on low at least
