Elite Questions for "uber" Elite players

I scanned everything

If you hook up with others they might want to jettison some cargo you can pick up and turn in for some quick cash. Once you're in a Cobra and above cash will be much easier to come by. For example, kit a Cobra Mk3 or a Viper Mk4 for combat and go into RES (Resource Extraction Sites). Scan wanted ships with a Kill Warrant Scanner to get the biggest bounty you can for the ship and start hunting.
On good sites (and with a small wing) you can easily make 600k an hour.

I can totally do this if anyone is in significant need and trying to get over the early hump.

I find mining to be the easiest money. If you can buy yourself a Cobra IV and equip it properly, you can make 300K per trip. Once you get some creds under your belt, you can upgrade to a Type 9 and get 1 million per run.

Check out this guy, he explains it pretty well:

If you want a spoiler, I can give you a system name where mining is highly profitable.

I'm making decent money now trading.  eddb is a good site.  I'm pretty selective and suspicious with the jobs.  ^-^

Since my combat skills are zero, I've been making money by doing a bit of trading and a lot of courier runs, some of which can be quite lucrative. I've got a beefed-up Cobra III (for power / speed / shield regen) so in most cases I'm able to run from trouble. I did fit a mine layer and some missiles as defensive weapons. So far I have about 1.5 mil in the bank for either further upgrades or a bigger ship.
