It's so good to see tutorials on these kind of things that aren't just minmaxing all the time. Sometimes I wanna more casually and it's great to see tips and stuff that are great quality of life tricks without being so hard core. Thank you!
Alternately, every new video makes me stop what I'm doing and start going that way 😆 I have the Purchase Ships screen open right now as I watch this lol.
Hopefully you won't have to travel 400+ LY to find a First Class cabin like I did. Dituri's video would have saved me some time trying to figure out why a Luxury cabin wouldn't fit in my Python :)
Thank you for a nice video. When i stared Elite a couple of years ago i was told (believed) that passenger missions were not worth it because it wasn't "efficient" money making, like that was the goal of the game. Good to see youtubers making videos focussing on playing and enjoying the game instead of credits per hour or just chitting on this great game. Thx keep it up.
My advice when taking doing tourism passenger missions is to take a DSS. Often the sights they want to see are at high value worlds (Earth-likes and Water worlds are common destinations) that you haven't visited before. A quick mapping of the planet whilst you're there anyway is a lot of extra free credits
I had just done Robigo runs (so I could armor up my python),, Yeah...grindy, but I did get several "Tip Off" missions from it that were an adventure. While it's after the fact for me (literally hours after), this video would have been helpful and still is! Thank you Dituri!
The fact that you went out of your way to mention Robigo and that having fun is more important would make me donate money to this channel. Dituri....I think I'm in love 🥰🥰🥰
Loving these videos. Your guide to the pre-engineered FSD helped me get it quickly. I’m going down the path of AXI combat in my Krait now but yesterday didn’t even know what AXI meant. Would love to see a video on that.
Great video, as with your other videos really informative and great at high lighting gameplay that might itherwise go unoticed, Thank you Commander Dituri
2k hours in, all the ships, most of my money is combat with the odd CG... yet only now doing Passenger runs... I think I love it. Thanks for another awesome video, another for the channel playlist!
Yet another outstanding, clear-cut and precise guide to getting the best out of one particular aspect of Elite Dangerous. Personally I absolutely love tour guiding in my Orca, the credits are at best ok (you want to get rich quick choose another method) but the sense of fulfilment and exploring the hitherto unknown tourist beacons is great; and with every successful tour comes positive reviews and better fees for the next trip. EDIT, be very wary of the legal status of your guests- transporting a known criminal with a sizeable bounty on their head can make life very 'interesting' and whatever else the Orca may be she's a real liability in combat!
I'm new to the game, 2 weeks in, got a Cobra mk3 and enough credits to build it into pretty any pre-engineer build. And I'm kinda getting bored with credit farming using the transportation missions. But thanks to your videos, i can't wait to try out the things you are showing. Thanks and keep it up!
So far, there are two ED activities I've never engaged in: Thargoid content, and passenger missions. I understood the Thargoid content quite awhile ago, still not interested. Now that I understand passenger missions, I might give it a try. Thanks for the explanation.
This guide will be useful for newcomers, good job, my Anaconda only comes out now and again for passengers. For fast money i just jump in my Cutter and buy and sell commodities.
Before clicking on accept mission it's important to click on the help button (the book symbol with i) it will tell you if the passengers are wanted in multiple systems, if you do pick up an illegal passenger make sure you are not scanned!
If you find groupe missions dull i recommend to do AX evacation mission. Go to a burning large station and evacuate people. Its alwasy fun to have a 600 m/s shieldless orca running away from thargoids while evading missiles and popping heatesinks. I can only recommend to make it a hull tank since you wnat to be cold to not burn up in the station.
I’ve done that - it’s great! I’ve got a krait built up for it. It’s different enough to warrant it’s own video though, and tbh it probably won’t last forever 🫡
It is great fun, but I run a shielded cow (aka type 9) for those. My goal is to run out of missions on the rescue ship (takes about ten minutes, 3-4 round trips, when I really push). Yes, it is repetitive, but sometimes that can be fun as well. And heat sinks allow for picking up material and escape pods, and peoples belongings inside the burning station as well. (But that is when it becomes really stressful to handle.) However, these are not always available (well, I guess the Thargoids are now, but I did the ones from terrorist bombings so I did not have to duck Thargoids).
I hope that one day they remove the 50m credit cap, at least on passenger missions. Would love to take those long distance tourist missions but the payout just isn't good enough
As a new elite player, i have found your videos incredibly helpful! I went and got myself a pre-engineered fsd for my diamondback explorer and it's been super great. I didnt know it existed until i saw your video about it. Now, I go around scanning planets for biosigns and then go down and scan and play hide and seek with bacteria for spare change in a 63ly ship - makes life a lot easier. Though, i was wondering, as a new player, if you'd like an idea about a video. covering basic idiot dummies-101 tips, like neutron jumping (i only found out about this this weekend and its amazing), the scorpion SRV is like, 10000 times better than a normal cheap one (I shot down a type-9 heavy with it this weekend), just what even exactly abcdefghi classes on modules really mean, does fsd injection and neutron boosting stack, and other really obvious new player type tips about some more basic topics that newer players wont realise is even possible, but is vastly helpful. i wish you all the best with the videos and channel, and i can say that your videos have been way more useful than most other elite videos i have watched (most are really poorly put together videos).
Thanks so much mate! I’ve got a couple of requests like this, so I’ll definitely consider it. I’ve loved seeing comments from newer players! We vets often imagine that we’re the only ones playing, great to know there’s still a decent amount of fresh CMDRs out there 🫡
Not a bus driver and not interested in this profession either in ED. But it is still refreshing seeing some 2024 content for Elite Dangerous. Happens to me I started a week ago with ED on my old account. I left when Engineers and Powerplay was introduced (Horizon times). Man, there was so much catching up and getting sings sorted out took some time. ED is still a phenomenal game in VR (no Odyssey for me). 😅 The sheer amount of listed materials for the Engineers is questionable, more so the grind behind it. I try to keep it slow and not to burn out quickly. I am quite unsure about the carrier cash grab yet. We will see. Looking forward to some more great content from you this year! Maybe you check out the next patch and planned changes to Powerplay?
Also funny that Tau Ceti is mentioned as first human populated system, as in the Expanse, that's where the Mormons were headed in their ship the Nauvoo. Great bit of crossover haha
Nice video! In the module list, why did you leave off the advanced docking computer? I find it very handy for passenger missions, although it is a "luxury" and no more required than other optional modules.
You’re perfectly welcome to chuck it on, I just never use it when I have one as I get frustrated with the speed! There’s actually a decent amount of extra space in most passenger ships so chuck in whatever you fancy 🫡
An idea for a new video? Smuggling In the beginning of ED there was a smuggler-route leading to Robigo. That was really cool , but the devs nerfed it and it felt apart for me. Is there any robigo-like smuggling route or other interesting method to smuggle?
I wonder if it might be worth creating a tutorial on how to use some of the auxiliary ED websites. Things like Inara, actually using Coriolis, the various mining/trading tools, etc. What do you think?
Regarding sightseeing missions: When I point my ship at what I believe is the beacon, it doesn't seem to scan it/the mission doesn't seem to update. Do I need a specific scanning module for it to work?
Made my first billion doing passenger mission's. The issue I disliked to the N-th degree; Are those passenger mission who wait until you leave, then request to go to other place's prior to the one they listed as wanting to go to. Sometime requireing one to go two or three jumps out of the way. Thus making less credit's per jump. One pick's a mission based on the amount they will get; To go for example, one jump. Pilot takes off, leave's the staion. And gets a memo, asking to go to here or there to see this or that prior to going to the destination you believed was one jump. Or those that after you leave a station, ask for various cargo to be picked up. Your about to go one jump, passenger ask you to get them something, anything. Attempting to find it, can take hour's sometime's, causeing you to be late getting them to their original destination and not getting paid. Having one can be an issue, having more than one, and someone going to be late. Making the entire run, suck.
I would love to see a video about Fleet Carriers. I'm afraid to buy one because the maintenance cost seems too high that I think it might ruin the game having to make so much credit just to keep the FC. But at the same time, I REALLY WANT ONE.
I was in the same boat a while ago. Having taken the plunge, I’d say it comes down to a few factors. First, what do you do in elite? If you do stuff like mining, AX or normal combat just for fun, then you’ll probably be fine. Second, is elite a game you come back to? If you tend not to play the game for months and months, then the cost could get annoying. If, like me, you’re on a little and often in-between other games it shouldn’t be a problem. Finally, what do you want to do with your carrier? If you just want your own movable base it shouldn’t cost much. But if you want to be a place for buying and outfitting ships, or stocking up full of tritium to head out in the black, there is a fair amount of cost. In the end, it’s not as awful as it sounds. At max you’ll spend 50 mill a week, which is a walk in the park if you’re a consistent player. My upkeep isn’t much more than 20 mill, so I’ve still got a stockpile of credits building in my back pocket 😅 Might make a vid to share this stuff to everyone, plus a few tips. we’ll see 🫡
By the time you reach end game in elite and you have made at least 5bn, you already know how to make lots of money quickly and easily. The weekly costs might sound a lot, but one 50M wing cargo mission which can be easily done solo in 15 mins will pay your weekly costs for a month. Even if you put the game down for a fair while, go to a carrier admin system and remove costly services or at least make them inactive, half a billion will take care of an inactive carrier for a couple of years. If you put your mind to it with the right kind of missions you can earn that in a day
Idk why but i love having 1 passenger slot on my ship even if im doing combat. Its like a roleplay where there are some crazy fucks who want to come watch some hunting or combat zones. More rp points when a capital ship shows up. Then i go drop em off
Incredibly helpful as always. Hopefully, the new update this year will bring in newer players. And maybe more views for you? It is criminal that you dont have more. You have the greatest and easiest to follow tutorials
Nah, in my view passenger missions is about speed and luxury rather than maximum number of cabins, making the phantom or clipper a better, more balanced choice. Feel free to use it obviously, I just don’t think it suits 🫡

I was thinking the same thing...hive brains are real :)
I have a Dolphin parked somewhere. It's set up to do single passenger missions, as in one at a time.
Just because flying tourists is fun.

Passenger missions are pretty good for materials - which are the real currency in ED.

It's a shame luxury cabins are useless, as there are no missions that specifically ask for them (1st class will do).
Sorry to say - definitely not true. I’m sure it used to be, as that’s what I thought as well. But no - plenty require luxury these days
