This video discusses a strategy in Elite Dangerous where players can earn credits by saving passengers from Thargoid attacks. By using the Imperial Cutter ship and selecting high-paying missions, players can earn around 70 million credits per hour while also contributing to the fight against the Thargoids.
In this video, the speaker discusses a strategy in the game Elite Dangerous to earn credits by saving passengers from Thargoid attacks. The Thargoids are considered a threat to humanity, and the player is encouraged to be a hero and save these passengers for profit. The Imperial Cutter ship is recommended for this task due to its better jump range and fuel tank capacity. The speaker advises equipping the ship with economy cabins to transport as many passengers as possible.
Once the ship is prepared, the player is instructed to travel to Thargoid incursion systems and select the best paying missions to rescue passengers. Unlike in other missions, reputation does not affect the mission rewards, allowing the player to get high paying missions immediately. Delivering the rescued passengers to the destination is made easier with a good jump range.
According to the speaker’s testing, this strategy can earn around 70 million credits per hour. However, it is noted that this is only achievable with the largest ship in the game, which may not be a fair comparison to other missions that can provide similar profits. The consistency of earning credits through these missions is highlighted, but there is a possibility of being interdicted by Thargoids.
The speaker also suggests that if the player cannot engage in direct combat with Thargoids or lacks the skill to do so, participating in these rescue missions can still be a way to contribute to the fight against the Thargoids. The speaker somewhat jokingly mentions sabotaging the background simulation (BGS) or burning the bubble, referring to disrupting the stability of human space.
Overall, the strategy discussed in the video focuses on using the Imperial Cutter ship to rescue passengers from Thargoid attacks for profit, providing a consistent money-making option that can also assist in progressing superpower factions or obtaining materials.
