Now I see why you said this video was taking ages to complete. Is the first role-playing + tutorial I have ever seen! I just turn to exo in the bubble when the mood takes me, so my rank in that is pretty low, though it is a relaxing change when I do pick it back up. I got my fleet carrier just for the sake of having something different to do in the game, but once you get you find it would be hard to do without, though I do wish FDev would rebalance them with less upkeep, a 1000ly range and lower tritium consumption (plus a bartender who does not have an attitude problem).
Well, I thought I would try something different 😬I figured there were plenty of guides out there "Do A,B,C..." I find with alot of those guides, the information is presented so fast that I have to rewatch sections 6-7 times to absorb the information, so I thought I would try a slower pace.The problem was how to slowdown the information presentation and I decided on more of a classroom kind of format.
Just wanted to drop a thank you as I learned a lot from the vid. Took awhile to wrap my head around things but the fact that I was able to earn my FC in a little less than a week using this information speaks volumes. Looking forward to any future content and thanks again.
Thanks to your video, I have my fleet carrier. My rate was 2B credits for 20 green blobs which took about 8 hours of game time each. Not quite the rate you saw, lots of dead systems, then 3 in one system some time. But your technique works, thanks.
You are welcome, yes the multiple ones are the real money makers... I still can't quite believe I found 7 in one system... hopefully I get to go back out there soon, I miss the peace and quiet and need to get away from the bubble again soon, if only for a little while 🙂
Thank you for doing this. I've had a long break from E:D, but this ExoBiology stuff has peaked my interest again. Good guide for what to look for and how to make some credits to pay for all those rebuys.
After a few weeks of using your tutorial, I finally purchased my fleet carrier (Outer Heaven). Raine, Thank you very much. Keep up the great work on your channel I hope to make a trip to your carrier soon.
I have found plenty of Stratum on single Biological planets. I don't bother with the SRV onboard. The courier lands almost anywhere. I don't worrying about distance. I lift off, go to full throttle. Then throttle back as soon as I hit full speed (with landing gear down), look at the floor & that is always far enough. I try to go on a single bearing. If I notice Bacteria is co-located (it often is) I flick around on a back baring to get them as a Brucey Bonus. I have noticed that Stratum doesn't seem to like it being too flat. I now aim for the border of smooth & a little rougher. Stratum seems to like this margin. The minor shift in terrain from smooth to a little rougher.
I bought a Courier to build for this purpose, just haven't gotten around to finishing it off 😁seems like the ideal ship for this purpose... I'm still putting an SRV on it though... 'cause I like driving around 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb Yes, mine has an SRV on it too as I use it at Jameson Crash Site and to show my young Padawan's Dav's Hope and the Crashed Anaconda in Orrere. Dav's Hope only as a right of passage, I get them into a single purpose Asp Scout with a mining Limpet Controller for High Grade Emissions pretty quickly.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I don't think I can drop a Coriolis build here. Basically I bastardised the one Down to Earth Astronomy (D2E@) made in one of his videos so you can no doubt do the same. You could check mine out in Inara and export it to Coriolis. Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. DFM035 DFMF Hyperion, not DFM014 DFMF Hotspur.
@@williamvorkosigan5151 I saw D2EA video as well, it is the inspiration for my Courier build... with a few modifications to make it more , suited to me 🙂
Amazing Tutorial and thank you for the loan of your carrier... I now have the credits for the fleet carrier and will soon be on my way back to the bubble to get it. I will return with cargos of Tritium for your help and bed and board for the last few days...
Thanks. Great job on the video, I know how time taking it is to edit these. Funny too. I'm about to set off on that 5000 ly trip to unlock engineers so I'll be trying this out along the way.
At some point in time, yes I do plan on editing down the longer videos, just probably won't be anytime soon 🙂 The video does have timestamps, so you can skip ahead to get the information you need.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I am watching it all because I respect the effort you've put into this, it's just that in the future I may forget the details and need a refresher
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I watched the whole thing, I enjoyed almost every second of it. I like your sense of humor. I just found my Stratum first try. I play via GeForce Now so sadly no observatory for me but I will manage still :) Just a question - is it worth chasing after other lifeforms on Stratum planets? Or is there no rule to this?
@@XEyedN00b Glad to hear that you found the information useful. As to other lifeforms, some of them are valuable as well, I usually set my cutoff point around 5 million base value, unless there is alot of it in the landing area. My rule is this, if it is easy to collect and doesn't take too much time to collect them, then I do. I try not to get too carried away chasing after hard to find Fungoids for instance in the mountains, because for me it ends up getting frustrating and takes the fun out of it, but everyone will have their own idea of fun, happy hunting and o7 Commander 🙂
I wish you luck commander 🙂Just remember, finding a good spot is key, if the list looks good from Spansh but the results aren't there don't be afraid to move over a couple hundred light years and try again until you find a good spot, it will save you a ton of time in the end.
Hi Raine, I hope you're doing well. I really want to thank you for this video. Unfortunately, at this moment here in Brazil, I can't send a "Thank you" here on TH-cam, but I want to leave here my sincerest gratitude for this video you made. You could cross the galaxy from one side to the other and you wouldn't find a video as well explained. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I hope your channel keeps growing more and more, you deserve it, and greetings from Brazil. (Sorry for any English mistakes, it's still a work in progress.)
Absolutley fantastic video. Awesome work on the tutorial and great use of ED Lore :) I've learned alot of new stuff and had a good laugh while doing so, Thank you :) o7 Raine
Your video is very good. made watching and listening to this very, very good. Nicely done. I wish more elite videos were like this. In order to buy the artemis suit and get the FSS, I ran courier missions while listening to you in my sad little (borrowed) sidewinder. Very informative on the exobiology. I thought I knew enough to do that but realised just how little I actually knew. Thank you for doing this video and for your second one, it really is very, very good :D
Thankyou for your kind words and encouragement 🙂If you wanted to make some quick credits to upgrade your ship... you can try Billionaires Boulevard, its a list of Exobiology planets in the bubble that you can do even in a borrowed Sidewinder... no first discovery, but it doesn't matter anyway, just to get a jumpstart on a better ship. A couple of Planets and you should be able to buy an Asp Explorer, then everything will be easier. Check out Down to Earth Astronomy, he has a good video detailing it... o7 Commander and happy hunting.
Sorry, I have been delayed, I am coming but things have slowed down a bit and my mission to the bubble is also taking longer than I thought. You might have to pack a picnic basket and spend the night under the stars 🙂
@@vancecollins4634 You, of course are very welcome, coffee is always on the Carrier... though I won't be there for a bit, still have some business in the bubble to look after so I sent the carrier off on its own for a bit 🙂
@@franader Well, I wish the algorithm agreed. Video has an abysmal click through rate of 1.2 percent and of those that click on it 70% drop out by the 4 minute mark... 🤣
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb That's fine, it's not a problem. Since your channel is new and you're just starting out, it'll take time to actually get things going. I don't really know how exactly the algorithm works, but there are several factors TH-camrs pick up along their journey, as long as they don't give up 😁 Nothing starts out easy. Also the video length is a factor. For example, I'm watching the video in 3 different sessions because it's long. I do like it honestly, especially the hidden humorous bits that got me laughing, and the hidden surprises for us who watched through 😉 but you might also try making another 8-10 minutes video to summarize the content and present the gist in a fun dynamic way. This will surely grab the rest of the people. I like that you've got great ideas, and I'm finding the content really helpful, so I'll be tuned for more. Cheers 🍻
The Carrier is located at AUCOKS CR-X B7-1 be sure to type the whole address, sometimes the nav system won't auto fill in the rest and will just say "no matches found" 🙂
Carrier is still there, some other players have come, don't know how many systems on the list they have worked through... I promised to keep Carrier there, I even took an Anaconda on a 7000 LY round trip to film some footage for an upcoming video 🙂
Just a note to say I (Cmdr D38) have arrived and will be setting forth to try out becoming a Billionear in the next day or two using the most helpful vid you have provided, looking forward to the next eeposode of your adventures... thank you, yours aye D38. @@RaineDearGames-jx4zb
great piece of work 👍 you are a great find! you take the time to explain, you're concise, and your delivery and speech are perfect! listening to you talk I don't have to keep rewinding or not understanding what you're saying! watching the few uploads you have has taught me more then the numerous other videos I have watched and was still baffled lol! one thing that just blew me away was your preview vid, the SRV...wow! and I just sat and thought why can't I do that! I would love to know your key bindings for your SRV? obviously you got a sub from me, and hope to see more of your ED content!
Thanks for the high praise 😊 as for the keybindings, I use a PS4 controller on my PC, as kind of a low cost twin stick setup... still not nearly enough buttons for Elite but you can get most of the major functions on there, the rest of things that I don't use that often are on the keyboard.
Made my fleet carrier credits mining. I still do it for fun and relaxation. I am slowly working toward elite in exobiology, but don't think I will take as mercenary an attitude to it that I did in exploring. Still, this was very good information, and I will give some of the concepts and tools a try just for the heck of it. Well done, and I look forward to more videos from you.
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed the video. I made alot mining back in the day when it was a bit more profitable, I still do it from time to time because I like getting Core mining and getting the perfect crack... love the sound.
Yay! Really helpful miss! Thanks a lot for doing this great job. :) It's way much funnier and more profitable than doing tourism in Robigo / Sothis stellar systems. Cheers Commander! O7
Yes Robigo can be a bit repetitious... honestly so can ExoBiology, thats why I bring an SRV with me, I can have some fun driving around doing stunts or try and find a picturesque spot for a pic or two.
I just dropped in to report that, despite what some people were worrying about, update 18 did NOT nerf exo-biology. It's still possible to make the same crazy money doing this gig.
What's not real? making this many credits doing Exobiology? I assure you it is, if you follow my instructions in the video you can make the same amount of credits just as easily 🙂
@@garethde-witt6433 - It's VERY real. Following the instructions in this video, I was able to earn around 4 Billion credits in just 3 days of playing. Now my Fleet Carrier is once again in no danger of being decommissioned for the next few RL years.
I added "Landable" to the search criteria. If that was in the video I apologize I must have missed that. I was getting a lot of planets that met the other criteria but you couldn't land on them.
You, of course can change the criteria to meet your needs. Just remember not to add too many criteria, I know landable sounds important, but like I said in the video alot of these systems only have the first couple of planets autoscanned... so in those types of systems, you just eliminated all the systems that don't have the first couple of planets landable. On the other hand its not like there is a shortage of stars to search 🙂
Woo hoot! I loved the video, subscibed and rang the bell for all. I love oyu. I am so rusty but used your info to go to the next system for practice, and found 3 stratum tectonicas and added vista genomics or whatever to my carrier and sold it for 19 million and have 119 more planets to look at just around my home system. I am going to do some more until I am comfy and strike out later on. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this guide! I'm following and digesting it step by step. I hope I can find the carrier, but if not... it will be also a good trip. Thanks again and keep it going. Subbed! 👍
I have a question. I was a novice explorer and last time i played was few years ago, and it still was ED:Horizons. Now i want to try to play ED again, but here is the thing... I stopped playing when my explorer-fitted DBX was about halfway to Colonia. And i don't know what to expect from ED:Odyssey. I figured i'll have to come back to bubble to buy and try new content, am i right? Or just die in the void with lots of exploration data on me and start over.
I can switch back and forth between Horizons and Odyssey and my ship is in the same location between the two versions, now I'm not sure if that is so during the actual upgrade process... but I would think so? So, you should be able to upgrade and just carry on your merry way in your DBX 🙂
If you just wanted to acquire an Artemis suit so you can do Exobiology on your way to Colonia, there are quite a few fleet carriers out in the void that have Pioneer supplies onboard, you can try searching on Inara to find one that might not be too far from where you are, hope this helps 🙂
Elite Observatory is the main tool, it uses the voice assistant voice from your Windows, the other tool is a plugin for the Elite Observatory called BioInsights, it examines the potential life on a planet and gives you values and collection data while on the planet 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb also you all may want yo give one called EDcopilot a try. I refuse to explore without it now. Uses tts voices that are much more natural. Plus you can get your fc to talk to (the way it should). Game. Changer.
What to do in elite..... Buy a stock standard asp explorer. Add a fuel scoop and then go fly over 200 jumps with no engineered mods on it and go fly to some fleet carrier called 'Darkstar'. Mission acomplished. I feel knackered... now I need sleep.... tomorrow go find this startum...stuff. 😫
Well it still has to beat the jumprange of your previous ship 😉My next video is going to start on the subject of gathering engineering supplies... so good timing. You should look into getting yourself a "pre- engineered" size 5 FSD from a tech broker, you will need a few engineering supplies first... but it is probably the best upgrade you can do for your Asp and can be used in your next ship, which should either be a Python or Krait Phantom 🙂
I dont have fleet carrier and I dont know how to go these star systems. I just picked a random place and its 9500 Ly from bubble :D. Should I start to exobiology in bubble first ?
Nah, do what you are doing, any EXO in the bubble has already been discovered and the real money is in first discovery/ first footfall bonus. Go to the skip ahead part of the video in the description and enter the parameters I give into spansh.uk body search to narrow down your search area, happy hunting commander 🙂
You can come to Aucoks cr-x b7-1 and use my fleet carrier for a base if you like, it is parked in an area with 1500 potential planets with Stratums, I don't know how many people took me up on the offer or how well picked over the planets are by now... the carrier has been there for awhile now 🙂
@@tivaxx Whew... thats a bit of a long ways, not sure which direction you are coming from but be careful coming from the direction of the bubble keep an eye on your fuel gauge and availability of fuel stars there are alot of brown dwarves and T-tauri type stars around here. Even with a 75 LY range I sometimes need to veer off course in order to refuel 🙂
great vid i was way out in the black doing the same . there is a tool called srv srv survey which tells you how far your away your next target should be and how much its worth. o7
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - I second the recommendation for SRV Survey. In addition to the above, it also keeps a running total on how much your scans are worth.. including bonuses. So nice when you're out in the black during a long session, to be able to check and say, 'Well, so far, I've earned 1.23 billion today!'
Thank you so, so much for this awesome video - I've been struggling to bump up my rank in Exobiology for *ages* and the incredible amount of detail you've poured into this (together with the humour, which was really appreciated as well) helped me get a *much* much better understanding of how the whole process works and, equally, just how BADLY I'd been doing it previously ! Haha. Thank you again, and stay safe out there o7 o/
Glad you found it useful, it is probably the easiest Elite rank to get now. As to the humor, it's nice to know you appreciated it 🙂I had planned on having Bobbi return in other videos as she had a whole story arc planned out... but given the overall reaction to it, those plans are probably on hold. Thanks for checking out my channel.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb My pleasure ! Just by way of an update, I've only been following your suggestions for like ... 2 days ? And I've just tipped into the Geneticist rank, so for anybody in any doubt, you should watch this video - it's WELL worth your time 💜
@@Cmdr_Amethyst Thanks for the glowing review 🙂 seems some look at the length of the video and are put off... others realize that an hour and a half spent watching a video will actually save you time bumbling around in the dark, overall. Oh, well can't keep everyone happy... just glad YOU get it 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I 100% do, and I will be keeping a keen eye on your channel moving forward as well ! I absolutely love Elite Dangerous, and it never ceases to amaze me that a game I have poured _literally thousands_ of hours into can continue to keep me both engaged, and stimulated by finding things I never knew about (like your video) speaks volumes for it, and content creators like yourself, in my opinion. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with mere mortals like myself, and here's to make more great videos on your channel o7
@@Cmdr_Amethyst Thanks, but... I am just a mere mortal myself, just someone that enjoys the game and wants to share some knowledge. I would wager there are things about the game you know, that I do not. Like you said in your comment, that is what makes this game so great, after years of playing there are still alot of things to discover and different ways to do things and play. 🙂I think my next series of videos will probably focus on new players starting out, so many of them are lost and might give up on the game before they give it a fair chance... I know I came really close to quitting many years ago when I first started, because the learning curve was so steep... I don't really agree with Fdev's decision to start new players out in a system where everyone has access, unlike before when we started out in a protected system. Of course gankers have moved in to prey on new players, I don't see the enjoyment these people seem to get out seal clubbing new players. I recently went to Chamberlains Rest, to film some footage for an upcoming video and I really think Fdev made a mistake not having a protected system. Anyway, I figure if I can help some new players out, that will only help the game in the long run, Fdev really should consider just having someone there full time to answer questions... the chat there is inundated with people asking questions.
Nicely done. When stratum is way away from the main star ,chances are they won't be there. At least that has been my experience. I have hit as many as 5 with stratum , nice.
Yes temperature plays a role, but not something you want to filter for, too many unscanned planets will be eliminated from search results 🙂 glad you enjoyed.
Do you have any tips for finding the biological stuff better ? (Easier) sometimes im searching hours just to find any or the last one of 3 especially bacteria
Well firstly, my advice would be not to spend alot of time looking for bacteria, they aren't worth much... unless you just like the challenge. Bacteria, on ice planets can be hard to spot, they tend to blend in with the ice... I know it sounds counterintuitive, but try turning your lights off, even on a dark planet they show up better with the lights off... this can be true for other kinds of life too... depends though. If you know you are in the correct spot (hotspot for that lifeform, spotted from orbit with the detail surface scanner) Mostly the best thing to do is fly low, around 150 meters or less and spot them from the air, then land right next to them... or as close as you can terrain permitting. Some lifeforms like certain Cactoidia and Fungoids that like the mountain terrain can be very challenging to find, if you are doing it for profit, generally if I can't land right next to what I'm after I'm off to the next planet, it's not worth spending hours looking for something specific... better to just high grade the planets for stratums, like I show in the video. Anyway hope this helps and happy hunting Commander 🙂
@RaineDearGames-jx4zb thank you for the answer I mostly do it because I want to complet the planets im on it's annoys me when I know there is one thing left but I just let it undone xD and I don't get it out of my head until it's finished
@@La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo-Cipher I understand, it used to bother me too, I would spend hours looking for that last bacteria on an ice world. 🙂 oh another thing I forgot to mention some plants show up better at a distance with the night vision on the SRV turned on (even during daylight hours), doesn't help with bacteria though.
why isn't there a link to the 3rd party app and plug in? Would be very helpful for people that aren't 100% sure what to trust or know what they are looking for.
If you are talking about Spansh.uk I gave the URL if you mean the Elite Observatory tool with bioinsights plugin... its a well known app, you can find a link pinned on various Elite related sites. When using some third party apps you have to accept some responsibility of risk, by that I mean things can and do change with third party apps. I can give an example, I have for years used a plugin that allows me to use my PS4 controller on my PC, it gives me a cheap way to get a twin stick type flight control+ versatility of keyboard for lesser used functions. I used plugin for years without issue and had I not noticed some unusual activity, that made me check I would have never known that the guy that made the plugin lost the domain that the plugin connects to automatically for updates. He had a new domain but you had to manually go in and change some of the script to connect to the new URL and not use the old one. Whoever obtained that old URL could have (and anyone that didn't update the script in time, would still be at risk of this) used the auto update feature to gain full access to my PC. So I don't link to third party plugins, because I don't want to be responsible for keeping people up to date with what is going on with them, and I would feel responsible if something did happen. If you want the plugin you can research what is going on and what to trust in an up to date way at that time. I'm sure it is completely trustworthy still, but it's something you need to look into yourself. Hope you understand where I am coming from 🙂

@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb You just might have to.... I'm one of those Fed4Life guys.😉 BTW, Bobbie's checklist was perfect. Not too much, not too little equipment.
Thanks for the support CmdrReggit, Yeah Thargoids are good money, but it seems that may be coming to an end. Honestly, this might not last either... I can't imagine that FDev intended for someone to buy a Fleet Carrier in a few days... might get nerfed, like how mining got nerfed. Maybe they remove the first discovery bonus? o7
If FDev stick to the dictionary meaning of "culmination", I think there is still a bit to go with the Thargoids, though it may be easier to chase them out of controlled systems if the related Titans are not around. Can probably expect more grinding though.
@@CMDR.Stormlynx Yeah, I can't see a sudden end to the Thargoids...or them disappearing completely from the Galaxy.

I don't have Cytoscramblers yet, so those are on the list for sure... let the pledging begin 🙂
I saw your channel pop up a couple of times in my feed.. didn't pay much attention until tonight. Came across this after a very LONG day and a whole bottle of wine under my belt, feeling sleepy, and decided 'What the hell, another hour and a half.. why not?' SO glad I did! Thank you.. can't wait to try this. I've been out of the game for over 18 months.. even with all the non-essentials shut down, my carrier had eaten away all my savings. This will help me get on top of things again. The video alone would would have earned you a sub.. but the role-playing kink was the icing on the cake. *SUBSCRIBED!*
Glad you found the video helpful. I figured a long video like this might need a secondary storyline to keep people entertained while they watch... unfortunately most people don't make it that far, as 70% of views drop out after the first 3 minutes... 😢
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - I just wanted to come back to thank you again for all your hard work making this guide. 😄 Last night I finished a long 12+ hour session out near Colonia, which garnered me a little over 2 Billion credits. I found a few systems which each had 3 bodies with Stratum Tectonicas (woohoo!), and quite a lot of single bio-signal bodies with ST on them. So I can fully confirm that people who say you can't find it on single signal worlds don't know what they're talking about.
Hi there I was in the area so cashed in sone data $$$, thanks for the hospitallity and the fair prices on fuel /repair and such, that reminds me I think I forgot to pay for the cup of coffee I had in the pilots lounge whoops.

Well I did go back and pay for it, I am an honest commander o7 I might nip round again later today got some data to sell, it's easier than travelling to the bubble up and forth 👍
Just going to save up for a fleet carrier myself, never saw the real use for me having one, but with this whole travelling melarky its nice to have your own mobile vista office within reach 😀

Hi Raine, how are you? I really hope you’re doing well. I miss your videos, you have so much talent and make really excellent content. Please, if possible, I would like to ask you to start creating content for Elite Dangerous again. Take care!!!
Well, I don't know what to say, other than I feel really kinda tired all the time, I know it doesn't seem to take alot of energy to sit in front of a PC, but it sure feels like it (I haven't even logged into Elite in months, my Carrier is drifting in deep space🙂) . I had a couple of videos that were half done when I stepped away, I do hope to get around to finishing them, I just can't say when that might be.

The fatigue I am feeling is physical and it seems I am not getting much help from the doctors I have seen, they seem to take a 'wait and see' approach, unless you have a bone sticking out of you 🤣
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I will pray for you, Raine, so that you recover as soon as possible and all of this stays in the past forever. I will always root for you, and thank you for everything!
No problem, I'll just get in back in the fuel surcharge from you...🤣 yeah it's pretty long... but considering how much time people spend grinding out credits I think it's a pretty good value time wise 😉
Huh, strange... I have noticed sometimes with the Galaxy map, sometimes you will get halfway through entering it and it will say no matches, but if you just keep typing... it is there all of a sudden.
@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I watches it all teh way though and did not skip ahead and make you sad so I know were that thing you said is and have visit it in its new location too ;-)
This is the hot shit. just finished 2.5 hrs session and made 400 mil. Sorry Rainee, I have to report this channel, because I dont wonna steel others my first foots. 😅🤣🤣☄️❤️
🤣400 Billion Stars, I think there is enough to share. Some people I know would have preferred if I had kept this to myself, there are those in Elite that figure whenever they discover something good, they should keep it to themselves. It is one of the reasons I started this channel 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb yeah, you are right. Just joking. And it's not a 100% thing, which keeps it somewhat exciting. Love it! I've been doing Sothis Run (passenger missions) as main income, but that gets boring pretty soon. This is a way more interesting.
Yeah, I didn't really intend for this video to be as long as it was... it kind of got away from me, lesson learned. I do plan on editing it down to a much shorter version, that just has the facts presented, thanks for checking out my channel 🙂
Let me tell about my experience )) I jumped 5.5k ly from the Bubble into a region with a cold visits heat map, created a route with high metal worlds (and atmosphere, gravity, etc..) to hunt for Stratum. Then I spent 6 hours jumping, mapping, scanning... My results: ONE f.. the fist foot step planet. A single f.. planet at a distance of 5.5k ly. This is insane! 6 stratums in total. 1 expensive clypeus, and 5 other med priced organics. So, 230kk for 6 hours. Plus two hours to jump so far. I would earn twice more delivering boxites with Inara trading routes, I swear! PS I forgot to include yet more two hours to jump back. That makes the earnings ratio as 1 to 3. PS You've forgot one important parameter: Last Updated At. And specify any date prior 1st of May 2021. That will prevent you from visiting already visited planets (on foot). This just came into my mind. PS As for a 13 yo boy you talk a lot =)))
Plenty of people in the comments were able to follow instructions and make billions using this method, I stated quite clearly if you aren't getting first footfalls or are in a dead zone to move on, not my fault you can't follow instructions 🙂 You could have jumped to my Carrier and used it as a base of operations, it is parked in a region with 1500 potential Stratum planets within 175 LY's, most of them first footfalls (at least when I parked it, probably pretty picked over by now 🙂) anyway results will vary, have fun hauling Bauxite.
HEHEHE I'm on a new account, but I have 2 big accounts. Weggaat I did was wing up with my big account, got the big accounts t10 afk Hunter to a ring, flew the new account after it and have me behave like an extra slf while the t10 takes out the most /all enemies. And I'm just running around, tagging enemies and using connector limpets 😂
Well not everyone has another account... or the billion+ credits to build a proper T10 AFK ship (ask me how I know, how much it costs 🙂) There are lots of ways to make money in Elite, I just got tired of people complaining they were broke all the time or couldn't afford a Carrier... so I decided to show the easiest way I know how to make alot of money without alot of risk or investment.
If your character where a male avatar treating this female slave the same way youtube would ban the video. Funny how that works isn't it. Nothing like double standards to make the world a better place. Don't worry I won't report it or flag the video I just thought it was a distracting aside that didn't really work for me. The actual discussion of how to maximize exobiology to make billions of credits and make Fleet carrier ownership a breeze was spot on however. That is why I will give your video a thumbs up in spite of the distraction that I took as an attempt at humor that just don't work for me. I never have found degrading other human beings funny and would always stand up to bullies who picked on the week who could not defend themselves. A trait that has made me many enemies among my many managers over the years. Keep up the good work of helping to dispense useful information to the community.
I am glad you found the informative parts of the video to your liking. As to the story parts, number one, as stated in the video it is a story. The main character isn't doing these things to Bobbi in order to degrade or humiliate, without giving too much away... Bobbi has a story arc and her character needs some "tough love" in order to progress. Think of it as a teaching narrative, some people that play Elite complain about this or that aspect of the game... people to this day still complain about not being able to earn enough credits, when in fact credits couldn't be easier to make... as shown in the video. These players, much like Bobbi need to be taught how to survive and prosper in Elite... Anyway I hope, this helps explain some of the story elements in the video and hope you continue to find the informative parts of my videos interesting and to your liking. 🙂
I laugh every time someone complains about the price of a carrier. I have a billion tied up in my Cutter. Carrier seems like a bargain in comparison. Even the upkeep is trivial. Play for an hour a month and you'll make enough to keep you carrier. I tried sniffing the flowers in my DBX the other day. Hopped through 20+ systems, never found a planet I could land on. Very frustrating. But still made several million off the cartographic data despite not finding any new systems.
I know what you mean, Carriers are in fact a bargain... just don't try and tell that to The Yamiks 🙂Not sure if you made it to the timestamp on Spansh or not, but plenty of useful info there on finding good planets, you can even filter for landable, though I don't recommend doing that for the reason that many of these systems were only cursory scanned by the commander jumping in, looking for ELW's and AW's WW'S etc. they don't see any and they jump to the next system. If the first couple of planets that the ship auto scans aren't landable then the the whole system gets eliminated from your search. Good luck Commander ☺
@RaineDearGames-jx4zb Yamiks is a stooge. Just another whiner who thinks his superficial gameplay style is the only way to play a game. Keep forgetting to look at spansh. Out exploring again. Much farther out, multiple first footfalls. But screwing up by not scanning planets I should be scanning. Too focused on biology.
Only if you play on pc with Odyssey i play on ps4 with horizons so no possibilities to walk in stations, out of srv on planet to scan so we would like to know how to make money as easy as that way but with horizons
There are alot of ways to make money, but none as easy and as risk free as this one that I am aware of. if you are willing to take some risk, combat mission against Thargoid spires, can reportably pay up to a billion credits an hour, but I wouldn't recommend it for a somewhat new player (judging by your post on another video) Thargoid combat is kind of a specialized niche. Passenger runs for Robigo mines can pay but it gets boring after awhile, the bonus is you can get some engineering materials at the same time, you need a fast ship rigged out with passenger compartments... lots of videos out there detailing proper ship builds and technique. Sniping kills and bounties from the cops in a high danger resource extraction sites (high security system) can pay a lot and builds your combat rating too, I've made millions in minutes doing that (while flying an unmodified starter sidewinder ship, no less) the trick is be sure to scan your target ship first before attacking them, even if the cops are already shooting at them, also be sure none of your stray shots hit the cops, or you will be one with a bounty on you... you must scan the pirates first to reveal their wanted status. Also if your ship isn't a great combat ship, or if your combat skills aren't great don't attack anyone until after the cops start attacking them first... best bet is to find a large group of security ships and fly around the resource site with them and attack whoever they attack (after scanning of course) some of these bounties can be a million plus each and they go down quick, with the cops on your side... you don't even have to get that many hits on the target ship to qualify for the bounty 🙂pulse lasers are your best bet weapon wise for engaging NPC pirates, as you don't need to replenish your ammo. When you have had enough, or when your ship is damaged too much to continue (if you die you lose your bounties, so don't die) travel to a station in same system and turn in your bounties for credits. Mining can still pay pretty decently, not as good as the low temperature diamond mining craze of a few years back (500 million an hour used to possible) the current meta is laser platinum mining (kinda boring, but whatever... it's money🙂 ) lots of videos out there on how to do it. My favorite way to mine is still core mining, there is something special about cracking open an asteroid with explosives (and the sound effects are really nice) you can still make hundreds of million an hour mining, look for a resource or mineral that is in short supply and paying well using Inara.cz website (systems in boom or expansion need certain minerals and pay highly for them) then use the search nearest---> bodies to find the nearest source of the minerals you want... try not to have to make more than a couple of jumps from your mining site to the selling point, pirates will try and interdict you, so be prepared to deal with that, also when you are leaving your mining site and are loaded up with valuable minerals the pirates might scan you... so be prepared to fight or leave quickly. anyway these are a few idea on how to make money relatively quickly, good luck Commander 🙂
Joe is correct, carrier is still there... quite a few Commanders have come out this way though, so might be time for a jump soon to a more or less untouched area, I will post when I do.
there i was happy with 2 days collecting new codex counting the milions to add to teh carrier fund....... ripped out of witchspace already shutdown by the time i stop spinning blown up and dead before i even get power back... why on earth should thargoids be taking me out like that. i have 0 gaurdian tech i have 0 weapons. i hope th AX boys are happy with there work. i wont play again till this nonsense stops 😞
Sorry to hear that, I plan on going out in the near future to make one of those Titans pay for all the grief they caused me over the years... just have to finish build a ship for that purpose, I will be sure to put one under the crosshairs with your name on it 🙂
I sure hope this "guide" helps someone but I just can't watch it. Trying to find the useful information among the hip-deep BS was harder than finding bacterium on the dark side of a planet.
Well you could check the description and use the timestamp to skip ahead to the useful information. The vast majority of people do like it and find it extremely helpful... ask yourself how many hours have you wasted bumbling around on the darkside in Elite doing things the wrong way... and compare that to an hour and a half to learn something useful that will save you a bunch of time in the end. Scroll through the comments for the testimonials if you like, many people have used this to make billions and bought Fleet Carriers in a few days... but each to their own, I suppose, have fun continuing to bumble around on the darkside... 🤣
Whats broken about it? If you find a good area, I guarantee it works, many people in the comments will attest to that. anyway thanks for checking out my channel best of luck commander 🙂
Well, it doesn't matter what music I chose, it wouldn't be to someones taste... I could have gone with some techno dance music and someone would comment that they HATE techno club music, so it is what it is. Just a word of warning... if you didn't like this music you REALLY aren't going to like the music I have selected for an upcoming video 🙂if it is a deal breaker for you... I understand, but it isn't going to change.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb the music is ok to my taste but it's so loud I couldn't hear the narration of the "guide" but don't worry I found another guide in about 5 seconds , crack on
@@MiZtErNiCe The "narration" you are referring to is actually just a voice assistant linked to a plugin that I consider essential to doing exploration, it's called Elite Observatory with the BioInsights plugin... it isn't saying anything overly relevant at the time the music is playing, just calling out the credit value of the lifeform. I explain the use of this later on in the video. BTW the music only lasts for the first 4 mins. the rest of the video is music free, hope this clears up any confusion 🙂
I have to admit that I'm so confused why you had to put such a long, tangential cuts of imperial sex slave. It could've played some role in some parts of the video I skipped, but I was not enough to make time for a 96-minute long video which I can salvage my much needed information in a few skips. Well ... if it was a little shorter and had higher information density, that little skits would've been kinda refreshments, dunno
@@Garryck-1 Just out of curiosity, did you get a notification about my Tribute video upload? I was just wondering if my subscribers were getting their notifications 🙂
I made another comment on this topic only to discover this. Well, in my opinion, the length and having some "unnecessary" fun parts themselves are not much of a concern. Sure, this vid is kinda extreme, but still. The point is it was not convincing to viewers that those parts were worth the time watching. Let me put it in this way. If watching a vid is shopping for an item, the merit could vary a lot: getting information, being entertained, enjoying the visual, and so on. However, the cost is rather simple: the time you should be remaining focused. Just like any item, the price wouldn't be a problem if the merit exceeds the cost. The pesky part is, when you watch a streaming video, you speculate and figure out the merit of it as you pay the cost - and whenever you can save your budget by stop watching it. It's not like other goods that you can't salvage your already spent money simply by not using it anymore. That's the most important part of "product design" in videos like this. Sorry for my long comments. I wish this was not an unwanted backseating. I admire your hard work to edit this much length of a video, putting some characters and narratives not to make it another flavorless piece of tutorials. I see your channel is rather new, and this is one of your first videos. Thus, I leave my feedback: I want you to keep your unique style and enjoy the passion of creation. I wish my two pennies would be helpful to your quest.
I hope this isn't patched or adjusted. The pay for exploration has been pretty bad when compared to combat or trading, which is sad because it's my favorite activity in the game. I have a lot of Stratum Tectonicas with my name on it in Kepler's Crest now, lol.
Yeah, it is a nice reward for being out there doing exploration, I hope it doesn't get nerfed. Similar money making tactics have been nerfed in the past though. My thought on this is, make it while you can... I don't think Fdev intended for someone to be able to buy and equip a Fleet Carrier in three days 🙂
Yeah, when things DO get changed, it is done and over with quick... I should have enough in my carrier account and enough in my pocket for "pin" money, but when I get some time, I will probably do a bit more, because I enjoy the hunt 🙂
Now I see why you said this video was taking ages to complete. Is the first role-playing + tutorial I have ever seen! I just turn to exo in the bubble when the mood takes me, so my rank in that is pretty low, though it is a relaxing change when I do pick it back up. I got my fleet carrier just for the sake of having something different to do in the game, but once you get you find it would be hard to do without, though I do wish FDev would rebalance them with less upkeep, a 1000ly range and lower tritium consumption (plus a bartender who does not have an attitude problem).
Well, I thought I would try something different 😬I figured there were plenty of guides out there "Do A,B,C..." I find with alot of those guides, the information is presented so fast that I have to rewatch sections 6-7 times to absorb the information, so I thought I would try a slower pace.The problem was how to slowdown the information presentation and I decided on more of a classroom kind of format.
Just wanted to drop a thank you as I learned a lot from the vid. Took awhile to wrap my head around things but the fact that I was able to earn my FC in a little less than a week using this information speaks volumes. Looking forward to any future content and thanks again.
You are welcome, Glad you found it useful. I am hearing more and more success stories using this method.
Good video. I can tell a lot of work went into this. Respect.
I'm still out here about 3kly from where I left you stamping my name on planets all day. Ty, so much for this!
Aha, I was wondering what became of you... I looked out the window one day and you were just gone 🤣and you are most welcome.
Thanks to your video, I have my fleet carrier. My rate was 2B credits for 20 green blobs which took about 8 hours of game time each. Not quite the rate you saw, lots of dead systems, then 3 in one system some time. But your technique works, thanks.
You are welcome, yes the multiple ones are the real money makers... I still can't quite believe I found 7 in one system... hopefully I get to go back out there soon, I miss the peace and quiet and need to get away from the bubble again soon, if only for a little while 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - *7?* Damn.. the best I've done out Colonia way is 3!
@@Garryck-1 Yup, 7... maybe I will break that record sometime, who knows 🙂
Great video! Thank you so much for your wicked sense of humor. Don’t stop please don’t don’t stop.
Thank you for doing this. I've had a long break from E:D, but this ExoBiology stuff has peaked my interest again. Good guide for what to look for and how to make some credits to pay for all those rebuys.
You are very welcome and thanks for checking out my channel o7 commander 🙂
Excellent video! Great job conveying the information and lol on the extra content! Definitely going to be looking for you out there!
Thanks for the compliment and I am glad you found it useful and a bit entertaining as well 😉

Great video ( the WHOLE video)
Very good and in depth explanation.
I enjoyed every minute, Thank You !
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching (THE WHOLE VIDEO) 🤣
I have found plenty of Stratum on single Biological planets. I don't bother with the SRV onboard. The courier lands almost anywhere. I don't worrying about distance. I lift off, go to full throttle. Then throttle back as soon as I hit full speed (with landing gear down), look at the floor & that is always far enough. I try to go on a single bearing. If I notice Bacteria is co-located (it often is) I flick around on a back baring to get them as a Brucey Bonus. I have noticed that Stratum doesn't seem to like it being too flat. I now aim for the border of smooth & a little rougher. Stratum seems to like this margin. The minor shift in terrain from smooth to a little rougher.
I bought a Courier to build for this purpose, just haven't gotten around to finishing it off 😁seems like the ideal ship for this purpose... I'm still putting an SRV on it though... 'cause I like driving around 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb Yes, mine has an SRV on it too as I use it at Jameson Crash Site and to show my young Padawan's Dav's Hope and the Crashed Anaconda in Orrere. Dav's Hope only as a right of passage, I get them into a single purpose Asp Scout with a mining Limpet Controller for High Grade Emissions pretty quickly.
@@williamvorkosigan5151 Nice, I'll get my Courier rigged out one day.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I don't think I can drop a Coriolis build here. Basically I bastardised the one Down to Earth Astronomy (D2E@) made in one of his videos so you can no doubt do the same. You could check mine out in Inara and export it to Coriolis. Miles Naismith Vorkosigan. DFM035 DFMF Hyperion, not DFM014 DFMF Hotspur.
@@williamvorkosigan5151 I saw D2EA video as well, it is the inspiration for my Courier build... with a few modifications to make it more , suited to me 🙂
Amazing Tutorial and thank you for the loan of your carrier... I now have the credits for the fleet carrier and will soon be on my way back to the bubble to get it. I will return with cargos of Tritium for your help and bed and board for the last few days...
Glad you found it useful, no need to return with Tritium, I have about 10,000 in storage and am pretty full... save it for your own fuel tanks 🙂
Thanks. Great job on the video, I know how time taking it is to edit these. Funny too. I'm about to set off on that 5000 ly trip to unlock engineers so I'll be trying this out along the way.
Enjoy the trip 🙂Method should work as long as you are near well traveled routes.
Made 700 million on my lastest 2 day outing, testing out my engineered dbx. Only went about 3k ly and saw some cool stuff too!
Nice, it's a nice relaxing way to make some credits and see a few sights along the way 🙂
Great video start to finish. Informative and very funny. Nice Work😁
Thankyou for the kind words, it is nice to have my work appreciated, making videos has been more work than I thought it would be 🙂
just as a follow up to this i came out to your carrier with 3.5 billion. After four 2-3 hour sessions i now have 8 billion. Cant thank you enough :)
@@MrVicEllis You are very welcome, Commander, glad you put the information to good use and congrats on the haul! 🙂
Let's assume I don't have 1,5h to spare, are you planning a condensed version?
At some point in time, yes I do plan on editing down the longer videos, just probably won't be anytime soon 🙂 The video does have timestamps, so you can skip ahead to get the information you need.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I am watching it all because I respect the effort you've put into this, it's just that in the future I may forget the details and need a refresher
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I watched the whole thing, I enjoyed almost every second of it. I like your sense of humor. I just found my Stratum first try.
I play via GeForce Now so sadly no observatory for me but I will manage still :)
Just a question - is it worth chasing after other lifeforms on Stratum planets? Or is there no rule to this?
@@XEyedN00b Glad to hear that you found the information useful. As to other lifeforms, some of them are valuable as well, I usually set my cutoff point around 5 million base value, unless there is alot of it in the landing area. My rule is this, if it is easy to collect and doesn't take too much time to collect them, then I do. I try not to get too carried away chasing after hard to find Fungoids for instance in the mountains, because for me it ends up getting frustrating and takes the fun out of it, but everyone will have their own idea of fun, happy hunting and o7 Commander 🙂
Excellent video. I'm a newbie, but everything well explained and communicated. Looking forward to giving it a try!
I wish you luck commander 🙂Just remember, finding a good spot is key, if the list looks good from Spansh but the results aren't there don't be afraid to move over a couple hundred light years and try again until you find a good spot, it will save you a ton of time in the end.
I just love your work, the information, the acting, the show how. Everything. Thank you

Hi Raine, I hope you're doing well. I really want to thank you for this video. Unfortunately, at this moment here in Brazil, I can't send a "Thank you" here on TH-cam, but I want to leave here my sincerest gratitude for this video you made. You could cross the galaxy from one side to the other and you wouldn't find a video as well explained. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Glad you enjoyed it... and got my sense of humor too 🙂
Your video is very good. made watching and listening to this very, very good. Nicely done. I wish more elite videos were like this. In order to buy the artemis suit and get the FSS, I ran courier missions while listening to you in my sad little (borrowed) sidewinder. Very informative on the exobiology. I thought I knew enough to do that but realised just how little I actually knew. Thank you for doing this video and for your second one, it really is very, very good :D
Thankyou for your kind words and encouragement 🙂If you wanted to make some quick credits to upgrade your ship... you can try Billionaires Boulevard, its a list of Exobiology planets in the bubble that you can do even in a borrowed Sidewinder... no first discovery, but it doesn't matter anyway, just to get a jumpstart on a better ship. A couple of Planets and you should be able to buy an Asp Explorer, then everything will be easier. Check out Down to Earth Astronomy, he has a good video detailing it... o7 Commander and happy hunting.
Did you make it to AUCOKS CR-X B7-1 ? Don't see you there. Thanks for your help.
Sorry, I have been delayed, I am coming but things have slowed down a bit and my mission to the bubble is also taking longer than I thought. You might have to pack a picnic basket and spend the night under the stars 🙂

@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb You earned it! Amazing video. You got really cool ideas
@@franader Well, I wish the algorithm agreed. Video has an abysmal click through rate of 1.2 percent and of those that click on it 70% drop out by the 4 minute mark... 🤣
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb That's fine, it's not a problem. Since your channel is new and you're just starting out, it'll take time to actually get things going. I don't really know how exactly the algorithm works, but there are several factors TH-camrs pick up along their journey, as long as they don't give up 😁 Nothing starts out easy.
Also the video length is a factor. For example, I'm watching the video in 3 different sessions because it's long. I do like it honestly, especially the hidden humorous bits that got me laughing, and the hidden surprises for us who watched through 😉 but you might also try making another 8-10 minutes video to summarize the content and present the gist in a fun dynamic way. This will surely grab the rest of the people.
I like that you've got great ideas, and I'm finding the content really helpful, so I'll be tuned for more. Cheers 🍻

Happy hunting Commander 🙂
great piece of work 👍 you are a great find! you take the time to explain, you're concise, and your delivery and speech are perfect! listening to you talk I don't have to keep rewinding or not understanding what you're saying! watching the few uploads you have has taught me more then the numerous other videos I have watched and was still baffled lol! one thing that just blew me away was your preview vid, the SRV...wow! and I just sat and thought why can't I do that! I would love to know your key bindings for your SRV? obviously you got a sub from me, and hope to see more of your ED content!
Thanks for the high praise 😊 as for the keybindings, I use a PS4 controller on my PC, as kind of a low cost twin stick setup... still not nearly enough buttons for Elite but you can get most of the major functions on there, the rest of things that I don't use that often are on the keyboard.
Made my fleet carrier credits mining. I still do it for fun and relaxation. I am slowly working toward elite in exobiology, but don't think I will take as mercenary an attitude to it that I did in exploring. Still, this was very good information, and I will give some of the concepts and tools a try just for the heck of it. Well done, and I look forward to more videos from you.
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed the video. I made alot mining back in the day when it was a bit more profitable, I still do it from time to time because I like getting Core mining and getting the perfect crack... love the sound.
Yay! Really helpful miss! Thanks a lot for doing this great job. :)
It's way much funnier and more profitable than doing tourism in Robigo / Sothis stellar systems.
Cheers Commander! O7
Yes Robigo can be a bit repetitious... honestly so can ExoBiology, thats why I bring an SRV with me, I can have some fun driving around doing stunts or try and find a picturesque spot for a pic or two.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zbA bit?! You're kind ^^
Anyway, looking forward to your next video Cmdr.
Fly safe! o7
@@kingnothing4898 Thankyou for your kind words and encouragement 🙂
I just dropped in to report that, despite what some people were worrying about, update 18 did NOT nerf exo-biology. It's still possible to make the same crazy money doing this gig.
Whew... That's a relief, would just have been my luck to spend a month making this video and have Fdev nerf it, fly safe Commander 🙂
It’s not real
What's not real? making this many credits doing Exobiology? I assure you it is, if you follow my instructions in the video you can make the same amount of credits just as easily 🙂
@@garethde-witt6433 - It's VERY real. Following the instructions in this video, I was able to earn around 4 Billion credits in just 3 days of playing. Now my Fleet Carrier is once again in no danger of being decommissioned for the next few RL years.
@@Garryck-1 Good going Commander, I knew you could do it 😁
I added "Landable" to the search criteria. If that was in the video I apologize I must have missed that. I was getting a lot of planets that met the other criteria but you couldn't land on them.
You, of course can change the criteria to meet your needs. Just remember not to add too many criteria, I know landable sounds important, but like I said in the video alot of these systems only have the first couple of planets autoscanned... so in those types of systems, you just eliminated all the systems that don't have the first couple of planets landable. On the other hand its not like there is a shortage of stars to search 🙂
A little long winded, but I like the style. Very informative video! Will be sure to try this out tonight!
Yeah, I know... I won't be making long videos like that in the future, thanks for the encouragement 🙂
Love the video and humor
Thanks, hope to post more at some point 🙂
Nice secret, just made 500 mil in a few hours learning things, I can definitely get faster at it. Thanks for the hospitality! o7 CMDR
You're welcome Commander, glad you found the information useful 🙂
Awesome Mistress!
Once you make it through all the "extras" the technique itself is very effective 🙂
Woo hoot! I loved the video, subscibed and rang the bell for all. I love oyu. I am so rusty but used your info to go to the next system for practice, and found 3 stratum tectonicas and added vista genomics or whatever to my carrier and sold it for 19 million and have 119 more planets to look at just around my home system. I am going to do some more until I am comfy and strike out later on. Thank you.
Good going, once you get further out, the first discovery bonus makes it worthwhile for sure... 🙂
Thanks a lot for this guide! I'm following and digesting it step by step. I hope I can find the carrier, but if not... it will be also a good trip.
Thanks again and keep it going. Subbed! 👍
Check the description for up to date Carrier location and you are welcome, thanks for checking out my channel 🙂
I have a question. I was a novice explorer and last time i played was few years ago, and it still was ED:Horizons. Now i want to try to play ED again, but here is the thing... I stopped playing when my explorer-fitted DBX was about halfway to Colonia. And i don't know what to expect from ED:Odyssey. I figured i'll have to come back to bubble to buy and try new content, am i right? Or just die in the void with lots of exploration data on me and start over.
I can switch back and forth between Horizons and Odyssey and my ship is in the same location between the two versions, now I'm not sure if that is so during the actual upgrade process... but I would think so? So, you should be able to upgrade and just carry on your merry way in your DBX 🙂
If you just wanted to acquire an Artemis suit so you can do Exobiology on your way to Colonia, there are quite a few fleet carriers out in the void that have Pioneer supplies onboard, you can try searching on Inara to find one that might not be too far from where you are, hope this helps 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb oh, thanks. I was hoping that something like this is possible.
@@voidseeker4394 Well, I hope everything works out for you... if you get stuck, let me know... I could always jump the DARKSTAR out to you 🤣
whats the tools u use for the voices after u scan a planet
Elite Observatory is the main tool, it uses the voice assistant voice from your Windows, the other tool is a plugin for the Elite Observatory called BioInsights, it examines the potential life on a planet and gives you values and collection data while on the planet 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb thanks a lot
@@DXDgamingsubnow You are welcome Commander, both are free downloads... they are very useful, happy hunting 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb also you all may want yo give one called EDcopilot a try. I refuse to explore without it now. Uses tts voices that are much more natural. Plus you can get your fc to talk to (the way it should). Game. Changer.
Also try Ed Copilot. I can't explore without it now, but it's so much more, feature wise. Game. Changer.
Nice work! 👍
Thanks means alot ... took me forever tto do this video🙂
What to do in elite..... Buy a stock standard asp explorer. Add a fuel scoop and then go fly over 200 jumps with no engineered mods on it and go fly to some fleet carrier called 'Darkstar'.
Mission acomplished. I feel knackered... now I need sleep.... tomorrow go find this startum...stuff.
😫
Well it still has to beat the jumprange of your previous ship 😉My next video is going to start on the subject of gathering engineering supplies... so good timing. You should look into getting yourself a "pre- engineered" size 5 FSD from a tech broker, you will need a few engineering supplies first... but it is probably the best upgrade you can do for your Asp and can be used in your next ship, which should either be a Python or Krait Phantom 🙂
🤣 The Star Wars reference at 1:06:20 was hilarious... I like the way you integrated it into your story 🙂
Well I'm glad someone got the joke..🙂.
I dont have fleet carrier and I dont know how to go these star systems. I just picked a random place and its 9500 Ly from bubble :D. Should I start to exobiology in bubble first ?
My little dolphin cant go far :((((((((
Nah, do what you are doing, any EXO in the bubble has already been discovered and the real money is in first discovery/ first footfall bonus. Go to the skip ahead part of the video in the description and enter the parameters I give into spansh.uk body search to narrow down your search area, happy hunting commander 🙂
You can come to Aucoks cr-x b7-1 and use my fleet carrier for a base if you like, it is parked in an area with 1500 potential planets with Stratums, I don't know how many people took me up on the offer or how well picked over the planets are by now... the carrier has been there for awhile now 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb 58 jumps :( but will try to
@@tivaxx Whew... thats a bit of a long ways, not sure which direction you are coming from but be careful coming from the direction of the bubble keep an eye on your fuel gauge and availability of fuel stars there are alot of brown dwarves and T-tauri type stars around here. Even with a 75 LY range I sometimes need to veer off course in order to refuel 🙂
great vid i was way out in the black doing the same . there is a tool called srv srv survey which tells you how far your away your next target should be and how much its worth. o7
o7 Commander, thanks for the info, I'll check it out.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - I second the recommendation for SRV Survey. In addition to the above, it also keeps a running total on how much your scans are worth.. including bonuses. So nice when you're out in the black during a long session, to be able to check and say, 'Well, so far, I've earned 1.23 billion today!'
@@Garryck-1 Nice to able to keep track of the fat stacks as they roll in 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - It has a couple of very helpful in-game overlays, too.
Thank you so, so much for this awesome video - I've been struggling to bump up my rank in Exobiology for *ages* and the incredible amount of detail you've poured into this (together with the humour, which was really appreciated as well) helped me get a *much* much better understanding of how the whole process works and, equally, just how BADLY I'd been doing it previously ! Haha. Thank you again, and stay safe out there o7 o/
Glad you found it useful, it is probably the easiest Elite rank to get now. As to the humor, it's nice to know you appreciated it 🙂I had planned on having Bobbi return in other videos as she had a whole story arc planned out... but given the overall reaction to it, those plans are probably on hold. Thanks for checking out my channel.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb My pleasure ! Just by way of an update, I've only been following your suggestions for like ... 2 days ? And I've just tipped into the Geneticist rank, so for anybody in any doubt, you should watch this video - it's WELL worth your time 💜
@@Cmdr_Amethyst Thanks for the glowing review 🙂 seems some look at the length of the video and are put off... others realize that an hour and a half spent watching a video will actually save you time bumbling around in the dark, overall. Oh, well can't keep everyone happy... just glad YOU get it 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb I 100% do, and I will be keeping a keen eye on your channel moving forward as well ! I absolutely love Elite Dangerous, and it never ceases to amaze me that a game I have poured _literally thousands_ of hours into can continue to keep me both engaged, and stimulated by finding things I never knew about (like your video) speaks volumes for it, and content creators like yourself, in my opinion. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with mere mortals like myself, and here's to make more great videos on your channel o7
@@Cmdr_Amethyst Thanks, but... I am just a mere mortal myself, just someone that enjoys the game and wants to share some knowledge. I would wager there are things about the game you know, that I do not. Like you said in your comment, that is what makes this game so great, after years of playing there are still alot of things to discover and different ways to do things and play. 🙂I think my next series of videos will probably focus on new players starting out, so many of them are lost and might give up on the game before they give it a fair chance... I know I came really close to quitting many years ago when I first started, because the learning curve was so steep... I don't really agree with Fdev's decision to start new players out in a system where everyone has access, unlike before when we started out in a protected system. Of course gankers have moved in to prey on new players, I don't see the enjoyment these people seem to get out seal clubbing new players. I recently went to Chamberlains Rest, to film some footage for an upcoming video and I really think Fdev made a mistake not having a protected system. Anyway, I figure if I can help some new players out, that will only help the game in the long run, Fdev really should consider just having someone there full time to answer questions... the chat there is inundated with people asking questions.
Nicely done. When stratum is way away from the main star ,chances are they won't be there. At least that has been my experience. I have hit as many as 5 with stratum , nice.
Yes temperature plays a role, but not something you want to filter for, too many unscanned planets will be eliminated from search results 🙂 glad you enjoyed.
Do you have any tips for finding the biological stuff better ? (Easier) sometimes im searching hours just to find any or the last one of 3 especially bacteria
Well firstly, my advice would be not to spend alot of time looking for bacteria, they aren't worth much... unless you just like the challenge. Bacteria, on ice planets can be hard to spot, they tend to blend in with the ice... I know it sounds counterintuitive, but try turning your lights off, even on a dark planet they show up better with the lights off... this can be true for other kinds of life too... depends though. If you know you are in the correct spot (hotspot for that lifeform, spotted from orbit with the detail surface scanner) Mostly the best thing to do is fly low, around 150 meters or less and spot them from the air, then land right next to them... or as close as you can terrain permitting. Some lifeforms like certain Cactoidia and Fungoids that like the mountain terrain can be very challenging to find, if you are doing it for profit, generally if I can't land right next to what I'm after I'm off to the next planet, it's not worth spending hours looking for something specific... better to just high grade the planets for stratums, like I show in the video. Anyway hope this helps and happy hunting Commander 🙂
@RaineDearGames-jx4zb thank you for the answer I mostly do it because I want to complet the planets im on it's annoys me when I know there is one thing left but I just let it undone xD and I don't get it out of my head until it's finished
@@La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo-Cipher I understand, it used to bother me too, I would spend hours looking for that last bacteria on an ice world. 🙂 oh another thing I forgot to mention some plants show up better at a distance with the night vision on the SRV turned on (even during daylight hours), doesn't help with bacteria though.
thank you weird woman, i literally earned billions today because of you
Well done with your first video. Length and style, you must find your own voice and do what is fun for you. Congratulations. o7
Yeah, still alot to learn about this TH-cam thing, I knew I wanted to try something different... we'll just have to see where it leads though.
why isn't there a link to the 3rd party app and plug in?
Would be very helpful for people that aren't 100% sure what to trust or know what they are looking for.
If you are talking about Spansh.uk I gave the URL if you mean the Elite Observatory tool with bioinsights plugin... its a well known app, you can find a link pinned on various Elite related sites. When using some third party apps you have to accept some responsibility of risk, by that I mean things can and do change with third party apps. I can give an example, I have for years used a plugin that allows me to use my PS4 controller on my PC, it gives me a cheap way to get a twin stick type flight control+ versatility of keyboard for lesser used functions. I used plugin for years without issue and had I not noticed some unusual activity, that made me check I would have never known that the guy that made the plugin lost the domain that the plugin connects to automatically for updates. He had a new domain but you had to manually go in and change some of the script to connect to the new URL and not use the old one. Whoever obtained that old URL could have (and anyone that didn't update the script in time, would still be at risk of this) used the auto update feature to gain full access to my PC. So I don't link to third party plugins, because I don't want to be responsible for keeping people up to date with what is going on with them, and I would feel responsible if something did happen. If you want the plugin you can research what is going on and what to trust in an up to date way at that time. I'm sure it is completely trustworthy still, but it's something you need to look into yourself. Hope you understand where I am coming from 🙂
I'm omw. Making the trip today. I need them sweet space bucks to keep my carrier. 🙃

heh I was doing this last night, Im about 5000 ly from the bubble and turned in 2 exobios and made 130m credits, crazy.
YOu should use an overlay *EDMC overlay and EDRecon to help you find stuff, it'll tell you when you are out of the 500/800/200 meter range for your samples

@@CMDR.Stormlynx Yeah, I can't see a sudden end to the Thargoids...or them disappearing completely from the Galaxy.

Yeah, I didn't really intend for this video to be as long as it was... it kind of got away from me, lesson learned. I do plan on editing it down to a much shorter version, that just has the facts presented, thanks for checking out my channel 🙂
Let me tell about my experience )) I jumped 5.5k ly from the Bubble into a region with a cold visits heat map, created a route with high metal worlds (and atmosphere, gravity, etc..) to hunt for Stratum. Then I spent 6 hours jumping, mapping, scanning... My results: ONE f.. the fist foot step planet. A single f.. planet at a distance of 5.5k ly. This is insane! 6 stratums in total. 1 expensive clypeus, and 5 other med priced organics. So, 230kk for 6 hours. Plus two hours to jump so far. I would earn twice more delivering boxites with Inara trading routes, I swear!
PS I forgot to include yet more two hours to jump back. That makes the earnings ratio as 1 to 3.
PS You've forgot one important parameter: Last Updated At. And specify any date prior 1st of May 2021. That will prevent you from visiting already visited planets (on foot). This just came into my mind.
PS As for a 13 yo boy you talk a lot =)))
Plenty of people in the comments were able to follow instructions and make billions using this method, I stated quite clearly if you aren't getting first footfalls or are in a dead zone to move on, not my fault you can't follow instructions 🙂 You could have jumped to my Carrier and used it as a base of operations, it is parked in a region with 1500 potential Stratum planets within 175 LY's, most of them first footfalls (at least when I parked it, probably pretty picked over by now 🙂) anyway results will vary, have fun hauling Bauxite.

Well not everyone has another account... or the billion+ credits to build a proper T10 AFK ship (ask me how I know, how much it costs 🙂) There are lots of ways to make money in Elite, I just got tired of people complaining they were broke all the time or couldn't afford a Carrier... so I decided to show the easiest way I know how to make alot of money without alot of risk or investment.
If your character where a male avatar treating this female slave the same way youtube would ban the video. Funny how that works isn't it. Nothing like double standards to make the world a better place. Don't worry I won't report it or flag the video I just thought it was a distracting aside that didn't really work for me. The actual discussion of how to maximize exobiology to make billions of credits and make Fleet carrier ownership a breeze was spot on however. That is why I will give your video a thumbs up in spite of the distraction that I took as an attempt at humor that just don't work for me. I never have found degrading other human beings funny and would always stand up to bullies who picked on the week who could not defend themselves. A trait that has made me many enemies among my many managers over the years. Keep up the good work of helping to dispense useful information to the community.
I am glad you found the informative parts of the video to your liking. As to the story parts, number one, as stated in the video it is a story. The main character isn't doing these things to Bobbi in order to degrade or humiliate, without giving too much away... Bobbi has a story arc and her character needs some "tough love" in order to progress. Think of it as a teaching narrative, some people that play Elite complain about this or that aspect of the game... people to this day still complain about not being able to earn enough credits, when in fact credits couldn't be easier to make... as shown in the video. These players, much like Bobbi need to be taught how to survive and prosper in Elite...
Anyway I hope, this helps explain some of the story elements in the video and hope you continue to find the informative parts of my videos interesting and to your liking. 🙂
I laugh every time someone complains about the price of a carrier. I have a billion tied up in my Cutter. Carrier seems like a bargain in comparison. Even the upkeep is trivial. Play for an hour a month and you'll make enough to keep you carrier.
I tried sniffing the flowers in my DBX the other day. Hopped through 20+ systems, never found a planet I could land on. Very frustrating. But still made several million off the cartographic data despite not finding any new systems.
I know what you mean, Carriers are in fact a bargain... just don't try and tell that to The Yamiks 🙂Not sure if you made it to the timestamp on Spansh or not, but plenty of useful info there on finding good planets, you can even filter for landable, though I don't recommend doing that for the reason that many of these systems were only cursory scanned by the commander jumping in, looking for ELW's and AW's WW'S etc. they don't see any and they jump to the next system. If the first couple of planets that the ship auto scans aren't landable then the the whole system gets eliminated from your search. Good luck Commander ☺
@RaineDearGames-jx4zb Yamiks is a stooge. Just another whiner who thinks his superficial gameplay style is the only way to play a game.
Keep forgetting to look at spansh. Out exploring again. Much farther out, multiple first footfalls. But screwing up by not scanning planets I should be scanning. Too focused on biology.
@@johnterpack3940 Happy hunting, Commander 🙂
Only if you play on pc with Odyssey i play on ps4 with horizons so no possibilities to walk in stations, out of srv on planet to scan so we would like to know how to make money as easy as that way but with horizons
There are alot of ways to make money, but none as easy and as risk free as this one that I am aware of.
if you are willing to take some risk, combat mission against Thargoid spires, can reportably pay up to a billion credits an hour, but I wouldn't recommend it for a somewhat new player (judging by your post on another video) Thargoid combat is kind of a specialized niche.
Passenger runs for Robigo mines can pay but it gets boring after awhile, the bonus is you can get some engineering materials at the same time, you need a fast ship rigged out with passenger compartments... lots of videos out there detailing proper ship builds and technique.
Sniping kills and bounties from the cops in a high danger resource extraction sites (high security system) can pay a lot and builds your combat rating too, I've made millions in minutes doing that (while flying an unmodified starter sidewinder ship, no less) the trick is be sure to scan your target ship first before attacking them, even if the cops are already shooting at them, also be sure none of your stray shots hit the cops, or you will be one with a bounty on you... you must scan the pirates first to reveal their wanted status. Also if your ship isn't a great combat ship, or if your combat skills aren't great don't attack anyone until after the cops start attacking them first... best bet is to find a large group of security ships and fly around the resource site with them and attack whoever they attack (after scanning of course) some of these bounties can be a million plus each and they go down quick, with the cops on your side... you don't even have to get that many hits on the target ship to qualify for the bounty 🙂pulse lasers are your best bet weapon wise for engaging NPC pirates, as you don't need to replenish your ammo. When you have had enough, or when your ship is damaged too much to continue (if you die you lose your bounties, so don't die) travel to a station in same system and turn in your bounties for credits.
Mining can still pay pretty decently, not as good as the low temperature diamond mining craze of a few years back (500 million an hour used to possible) the current meta is laser platinum mining (kinda boring, but whatever... it's money🙂 ) lots of videos out there on how to do it. My favorite way to mine is still core mining, there is something special about cracking open an asteroid with explosives (and the sound effects are really nice) you can still make hundreds of million an hour mining, look for a resource or mineral that is in short supply and paying well using Inara.cz website (systems in boom or expansion need certain minerals and pay highly for them) then use the search nearest---> bodies to find the nearest source of the minerals you want... try not to have to make more than a couple of jumps from your mining site to the selling point, pirates will try and interdict you, so be prepared to deal with that, also when you are leaving your mining site and are loaded up with valuable minerals the pirates might scan you... so be prepared to fight or leave quickly.
anyway these are a few idea on how to make money relatively quickly, good luck Commander 🙂
heheh nice to see an attempt at some humour 😂.... Edit : always ask google first :) are you still in the same place or have you long since moved on 🤭
I was just there, Carrier is still in the same place.
Joe is correct, carrier is still there... quite a few Commanders have come out this way though, so might be time for a jump soon to a more or less untouched area, I will post when I do.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb i got dragged back to the bubble just had to see taranis go "pop" ill catch you up at your next stop then thanks. o7 cmdr
@@saffieification I need to make a trip out to one of the Titans at some point to record some footage, just don't have time right now 🙂
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb its why i was not out in the black to come meet up 😁
there i was happy with 2 days collecting new codex counting the milions to add to teh carrier fund....... ripped out of witchspace already shutdown by the time i stop spinning blown up and dead before i even get power back... why on earth should thargoids be taking me out like that. i have 0 gaurdian tech i have 0 weapons. i hope th AX boys are happy with there work. i wont play again till this nonsense stops 😞
Sorry to hear that, I plan on going out in the near future to make one of those Titans pay for all the grief they caused me over the years... just have to finish build a ship for that purpose, I will be sure to put one under the crosshairs with your name on it 🙂
I sure hope this "guide" helps someone but I just can't watch it. Trying to find the useful information among the hip-deep BS was harder than finding bacterium on the dark side of a planet.
Well you could check the description and use the timestamp to skip ahead to the useful information. The vast majority of people do like it and find it extremely helpful... ask yourself how many hours have you wasted bumbling around on the darkside in Elite doing things the wrong way... and compare that to an hour and a half to learn something useful that will save you a bunch of time in the end. Scroll through the comments for the testimonials if you like, many people have used this to make billions and bought Fleet Carriers in a few days... but each to their own, I suppose, have fun continuing to bumble around on the darkside... 🤣
For everyone watching. Play this at a minimum of 150% speed. Otherwise you will die of boredom abs old age while listening to this
this is pretty broken if you ask me,
Whats broken about it? If you find a good area, I guarantee it works, many people in the comments will attest to that. anyway thanks for checking out my channel best of luck commander 🙂
The music 🙉
Well, it doesn't matter what music I chose, it wouldn't be to someones taste... I could have gone with some techno dance music and someone would comment that they HATE techno club music, so it is what it is. Just a word of warning... if you didn't like this music you REALLY aren't going to like the music I have selected for an upcoming video 🙂if it is a deal breaker for you... I understand, but it isn't going to change.
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb the music is ok to my taste but it's so loud I couldn't hear the narration of the "guide" but don't worry I found another guide in about 5 seconds , crack on
@@MiZtErNiCeDon't worry the guide you found is useless... as it isn't about finding first discoveries...
@@MiZtErNiCe The "narration" you are referring to is actually just a voice assistant linked to a plugin that I consider essential to doing exploration, it's called Elite Observatory with the BioInsights plugin... it isn't saying anything overly relevant at the time the music is playing, just calling out the credit value of the lifeform. I explain the use of this later on in the video. BTW the music only lasts for the first 4 mins. the rest of the video is music free, hope this clears up any confusion 🙂
I have to admit that I'm so confused why you had to put such a long, tangential cuts of imperial sex slave. It could've played some role in some parts of the video I skipped, but I was not enough to make time for a 96-minute long video which I can salvage my much needed information in a few skips. Well ... if it was a little shorter and had higher information density, that little skits would've been kinda refreshments, dunno
But... did you learn something?
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - Exactly!
@@Garryck-1 Just out of curiosity, did you get a notification about my Tribute video upload? I was just wondering if my subscribers were getting their notifications 🙂
Appreciate the video but maybe next time separate the parts with useful information from the parts where you try to be funny
I do plan on editing down the longer videos, into just the facts for those that don't want to watch it all... 🙂
I made another comment on this topic only to discover this. Well, in my opinion, the length and having some "unnecessary" fun parts themselves are not much of a concern. Sure, this vid is kinda extreme, but still. The point is it was not convincing to viewers that those parts were worth the time watching.
Let me put it in this way. If watching a vid is shopping for an item, the merit could vary a lot: getting information, being entertained, enjoying the visual, and so on. However, the cost is rather simple: the time you should be remaining focused. Just like any item, the price wouldn't be a problem if the merit exceeds the cost. The pesky part is, when you watch a streaming video, you speculate and figure out the merit of it as you pay the cost - and whenever you can save your budget by stop watching it. It's not like other goods that you can't salvage your already spent money simply by not using it anymore. That's the most important part of "product design" in videos like this.
Sorry for my long comments. I wish this was not an unwanted backseating. I admire your hard work to edit this much length of a video, putting some characters and narratives not to make it another flavorless piece of tutorials. I see your channel is rather new, and this is one of your first videos. Thus, I leave my feedback: I want you to keep your unique style and enjoy the passion of creation. I wish my two pennies would be helpful to your quest.
@@technocracy90 You're no fun.
@@mdsf01 teaching is never fun.
I hope this isn't patched or adjusted. The pay for exploration has been pretty bad when compared to combat or trading, which is sad because it's my favorite activity in the game. I have a lot of Stratum Tectonicas with my name on it in Kepler's Crest now, lol.
Yeah, it is a nice reward for being out there doing exploration, I hope it doesn't get nerfed. Similar money making tactics have been nerfed in the past though. My thought on this is, make it while you can... I don't think Fdev intended for someone to be able to buy and equip a Fleet Carrier in three days 🙂
It hasn't been nerfed. I'm still raking in the billions.
@@Garryck-1 Well, keep it up 🙂I for one certainly don't want to see this go the same way as low temperature diamonds 🤣
@@RaineDearGames-jx4zb - Yeah.. that was a painful time. LTDs paid for and equipped my carrier (bought on the very day they were released!).
Yeah, when things DO get changed, it is done and over with quick... I should have enough in my carrier account and enough in my pocket for "pin" money, but when I get some time, I will probably do a bit more, because I enjoy the hunt 🙂
