Being able to boost at Robigo Mines can save you a lot of time and frustration. If you hit boost the moment you drop out of supercruise, you'll be in range to get your docking permission before any NPCs spawn and hog the single medium pad.
@@mrexists5400 I have yet for that to happen and I have been just doing this grind for the holiday Arx that we get each day till christmas. I also have not been scanned since I started this tech. so I have not lost a criminal mastermind passenger yet. I think even if I find the pad is taken its still a great idea I didnt know about and I have been playing for years.
oh this is so helpful! been unlocking all the engineers, and now I want to expand my ship collection, but for that I need both credits and materials. thanks for this, love all your videos!
About materials, that's what I've done since I discovered Robigo. I usually get 7-8 missions all with 2-5 g5 or g4 mats. Each run will give you at least 20 mats of one type.
@Wonback I'm starting to foeget, iirc you get 2 types of manufactured and 1 typecof encoded. Of the g5 mats. But raw are only found at crystalline shards and scouting planet surfaces with a scarab.
I discoverd ROBIGO and the "Exploting" of the various missions, some 5 year's ago. Though I dry dock it at Houser, because I utilize my long ranged conda to get there if and when I desire. I've had a ROBIGO loaded Python dry docked there for five years.
Thank you. I have kind of drifted away from ED over the past few months, trying a few different games and not really feeling satisfied anywhere. Just got a new extremely widescreen monitor and this video really got me pumped get back into Elite. Spent a couple hours tonight in game thanks to this video. Always appreciate what you do.
Supercruise Assist can smash arrival times at stations, especially for Robigo Mines as there is no need to line up with a slot. I leave a Python with this build at Almagest: Sirus Reach, 1 jump out of Robigo and closer to the bubble. Then I can use a high jump range ship ((with fuel scoop) Krait Phantom) to get there. Swap ships, jump to Robigo and I am away. I think Brunel Hub also offers Pax Missions to Sirius Atmospherics.
This video comes at a perfect timing... Acquired sufficient credits for a Fed Corvette, but need rank. Have a Diamondback Explorer and a lot of time on my hands!
Glad to be third to comment. Learnt a hell of a lot from D2AE vids, still use CMDRS TOOLBOX, and even bought a Secret Lab chair last Christmas due to the promotion (as present for myself, cos my family have no idea what to get me...) Am completely useless in PvP, but his Vulture BH build has earnt me a lot of credits in PvE. Keep up the good work. Ageing civil engineer so love the maths and engineering approach.
@@danielstokker get it right - ageing tool. thought that this fan based channel would be free of fuckwits - guess that i'm just an trusting ageing tool..won't be a comeback (unlike Kim K), so you win. enjoy
For Hauser's Reach, fast super cruise approach is to line up edge on with the ring (which is actually exactly in line with the station's axial rotation for docking), just skim the ring's surface real close on approach and you don't have to suffer from the gravity well at all, plus you exit head on with the dock! :D
This is really handy, cheers. I've mainly been doing deep core mining in GCRV 1568, as well as HGE farming in systems near Khun. I'll definitely give this a shot!
I just want to say, thanks for this. I basically built a python for a thargoid evacuees. "Hey, this is pretty similar." Long term goal is an afk T10 to print money. Need those materials.
Man, I think I've watched like million and then some guides on how to make quick money in ED, but not a single one regarding on what to actually spend those easy earned money on!!! This game is really unique in this way...
Buy more ships, heck you got enough buy a fleet carrier. Buy a bunch more suits and weapon mods if your playing odyssey. And if your feeling generous go find a new player and shower them with credits. The possibilities are almost endless
Let's see what to spend the money on... A powerplay trade ship that you moth ball for 4 weeks and just transport the tokens with. A big t9/cutter hauler for making insane cash down at [redacted] transporting [redacted] for ~600 million / hour. A combat krait. A "healies for feelies" cutter". A passenger python in Robigo. A transport dbx with max jump range to jump between your parked ships. One or more AX ships of your preference. (solo/group, cyclops/basilisk/medusa) A minor flottilla of mining ships - laser/core/subsurface combined with medium/large landing pads (kind of moot if you have a fleet carrier then you only need the big mining ship and 2 hauler ships one big and one medium). A long distance explorer ship with everything you need and a cockpit you don't hate after a month out in the black (I highly advise against using any bobble heads at all), better make this two ships since boy oh boy you'll get bored with the view and after a hundred or so hours the engine sound will start to mess with you. Might want to slap on a fighter bay there just to break the monotomy. After that; as many T9's and T10's you need to stash your modules and weapons on. Hell if you feel fancy about it, do the same (minus the AX ships) for Colonia and the Centre. And let's not forget about the "new" bubble out in witch head nebula. Then ofc if smuggling ever comes back as a valid gameplay loop you'd want some supercooled long range hauling ship. which could double as a hacking ship (if that ever becomes relevant again), not to mention a "missile boat" if skimmer missions return and then a pirate ship if NPCs ever start to carry valuable cargo again. After that... Fleet carrier maybe, for the off chance you go deep space mining or want to avoid the lag at shinrarta. That's the full list of stuff to spend cash on that I know, and both d2ea, obsidian ant & yamiks have covered these options on multiple times.

I was testing what the better ships would be for newer pilots, so far the Dolphin wins something between 8-10mil per tripp. Minimal Engineering needed for 2 Jump tripps. biggest downsite would be that you can only take 3 mission at a time. Total cost of the build are between 3-4mil (depending if you want to bring a shield or not, a Class 3 Econemy Class cabin would be a waiste of space anyway). Depending on the way you fly and if Robigo Mines and or Sirius Atmospherics is behind thier planets or not, the tripp takes around 10min (manual flying, both points infront of thier planets) to 20min (either Supercuise and both points infront [more like 15min], or manual and both points behind thier planets). clocking in around 30-60mil possible usualy around 32 with bad rng and 40 with okayish rng but your pilot being a deaf c*nt. Note that RNG with the mission is a thing, Also every time i tested with smaller ships like the Dolphin (i usualy dont do Robigo runs, but i think i will pick it up for a while and park my Dolphin in Ceos while i dont need it), i usualy only got a single 4-5mil mission and two to four 2-3,5mil mission at a time anyway - note that i dont have all 3 Factions on full Relations yet.

Hause's Reach is pretty funny though, it's a station on the dramatic spot that if you using assist you will always disengages onto the rotating wheel, for so many times I thought my little passenger DBX(one jump build because I'm lazy) would be dead, or the passengers will get mad due to the bumps, but in the end games having some protections for at least, and I knew that because it actually landed me into the wheel and ejects me out. lol You don't actaully needs to dive though(unless something changed?), but sometime the nav point will blockcade by the belt(or the planet), it will delay your for a few seconds.

Another quality video! Thanks! I recently got back into Elite after buying a PC and downloading Odyssey. It's been a while and I feel like I did when I first started playing since I decided not to transfer my 7 billion in assets.
@D2EA You may want to revise this video already. Seems that, as of today (30-12-21), all Robigo-Sothis sightseeing passenger missions are now listed as 'Demanding' in Odyssey. So every VIP passenger going to Sothis will demand you go do something or find something for them during the mission, with failure resulting in lower payouts. The strange thing is that this isn't happening in Horizons, they are still normal in that (a few are demanding, but not all). So I'm wondering if this is a bug introduced today, or a 'fix' to nerf the payouts. I've reported it as a bug on the FDev tracker just in case it is a bug.
I'm getting ready for Ceos-Sothis grind for Fed. I was planning on running solo due to the ganker situation, but how bad is the interdiction for the higher threat missions? I've noticed in other systems they're hit and miss. Threat 8 may not have 1 interdiction, but a Threat 5 can have several. Was just wondering what your experience in that area has been.. o7 CMDR
@@Boba_Brett13 Well, it's been quite a while, almost a year, since I've been back in the Bubble. I'm slowly making my way back from the Dryou Awesomes System. The more the number of FCs in the system, the more the chances of Gankers being present. Something I learnt the hard way. You can always check Inara for System security stats though, they keep good records there about system security.
I'm new to Elite dangerous, so just discovered this channel... HOLY CRAP! It's a German Ed Sheeran! :D NOICE. OH and absolutely great video, thanks for the Info!
Okay as a person looking at this as a way to avoid some of the painful boring grind for engineering mats I was with it until the life support lightweight at grade 4. Unless I'm mistaken the only ones I can get that from are lori jameson, which I'd have to have access to shinratta for which I don't, or Dorne which requires me to A, unlock her in the first place, but more importantly make a 22,000ly journey to colonia without an engineered vessel which I'm not even sure if that's actually doable in the first place. How big a requirement is that lightweight life support to getting this route down to a 2 jump run? I can do it in 3 as it stands but that 1 extra jump starts wearing my patience thin after the 20th run.
Robigo has been my home for a couple years. Hauser’s Reach allows me to do whatever I want from Passenger Missions to swapping ships and Bounty Hunting in the multiple RES. Robigo Mines being faster is negligible.
Great run! I haven't seen an Imperial rank up mission, tho? I check the mission and passenger boards after each run. I have gone from Pathfinder to Pioneer.
Imperial rank missions come from factions that a) are empire aligned and b) you're cordial or higher with, and you'll need to earn an amount of reputation with any (can be multiple, and will spill over the visible cap) empire aligned factions. The same applies to the alliance and federation.
You could swap one passenger cabin with a fuel scoop and swap it at Hausers reach, or get there in another ship and have the Python transported to Hausers reach. (that's wat i did)
I'm out for couple of years. I only had a couple of engineers. Questions time: Is this still active? I remember I was lazy af, I have a corvette but didn''t enjoyed combat that much. I want money to try new things Is that possible to raise imperial rank even being high rank as federal? Will I loose the federal rank/my corvette? I want to buy a cutter to make huge missions like transportation and etc, but I don't wanna it to take days and days into grinding money. I have a few hours per day to play. I don't wanna waste them.
I just got a hint not sure how good will it be but how heavy are size 3 mlc for exploration conda so you use just 1 controler for different limpets that u will need in case you need mats :D
Hej :) Hey First love your videos. i have the game ED Horison but my menues and starmap do not look like yours... i can not finde any info on this online but could you maby make a video about the difrences of Horison and Odyssey bisides the obviously that you can wlak around... i meen the meny, starmap and other lesser higlighet featurs :) Keep up the good work ! hygge !
So considering coming back to elite, is this still viable? And since i havent even started engineering stuff yet, am i correct that those material rewards are higher grade and can be traded down to get other stuff thus keeping me from doing content i have no interest in?
the old robigo slave runs were the best.... you could adjust the difficulty by the amount of missions you took - the more you took the harder it got and if you took enough you had a proper white knuckled ride back to the bubble chased by both the cops and pirates - 1 scan and all the missions were failed - only the best made it back with all the missions maxed out - and managed to avoid the interdictions or avoid the cops and pirates that could drop right in front of you just after you hit the boost button! lol and if you managed to get to your next drop off you had to sneak into stations with silent running and everythig switched off including shields and the engines and glide in with fingers crossed that you lined up with the slot properly..... best gaming experience in ED i everr had... made my 1st 8bn doing them sadly they killed it quite a few years ago when they broke the heat mechanic
nice tutorial, but ive noticed the mat missions run out pretty quickly, i have my reps maxed with both the factions and after 2 runs with 6 mat rewards there arent any mat rewards anymore, just money
That’s a mistake. The Baluga has to pick up from Howser’s Reach which has a few things going against it. A: it’s directly on the very cutting edge of planet rings…. You can literally coast out of the station and boost into the asteroids to mine. Depending on time of day, your super cruise can end as you return smacking you into asteroids, or the station itself. 2: for some crazy reason, the passengers pay less out of Howser’s reach…. Likely due to the idea that since there are more seats on the Luga, there is less demand… and there is never a call for a luxury cabin to atmospherics. Stick to python and the station Robigo mines.
I experienced my ship getting blown from under me during a level 5 security/risk(?) mission on solo mode but you seem to take no notice. Am I missing something? Apologies for a noob question but the game did warn me at the time my novice rank might mean I was in over my head and now I'm paranoid!
Probably cause you are new and have a weak ship that can't handle the beasts that are coming for you. I would stick with or close to those warnings at least until you start engineering, or get a monster ship
I don't know what it's like on PC but on Console I get up to as much as 3 interdiction's per station trying to do the Ceos to Sothis loop. It's so annoying af that I just can't do it anymore.
@@cmdrandreyuenari4150 That's the catch. If you don't load up on missions then it's really not worth your while. I just spread out what I do all over the place now instead of trying to focusing on one area. It makes things more interesting and less boring. It also seems to make it harder for the NPC's to get a fix on you.
I've been doing this for 3 days so far and I'm almost to Post Captain. It seems like it's taking far longer than I expected. Maybe it's normal speed. I've just noticed that I pick up the missions from Federation Unite and when I go turn it in I also get faction for the Independent contacts and the turn in mission with have their symbol instead of the Federation Symbol when I selected the mission. Is this a bug or normal?
The only problem with the Robigo run after your Max ranked federal and empire and your just out there for the cheddar… is that it’s boring as hell. Like mind numbing boring. If you suffer from any sleep deprivation at all, it will catch up to you running Robigo.
@@lkupiec1978 Hmm, seems like if I go from Robigo mines its ok, there is seldom authority vehicles there. But If I got from a bigger station I will get caught directly trying to leave the slot. But there is still nothing that says that those passengers are illegal.. Seems like a old known bug when I google.
If you do Robigo Mines missions then you very rarely have this problem as you can stock up on missions that don't involve carrying illegal passengers. I use a python and can easily make 80m an hour. Even if you do pick up illegal passengers from Robigo Mines you will very rarely get scanned.
@@zip7275 thanks...but I can't engineer my fsd range high enough yet...unlocked grade 5, but not collected enough materials yet to make a grade 5 mod...my python only does about 20 ly when full. You need about 30+ ly range to do Robigo passenger missions?
They nerfed the whole game! I can't get a huge load of passengers nor can I find platinum to mine anymore. This video is 2 years old so I am visiting with those ships. Why did they do this?
Just let me say thank you for you and others youtubers show all this , like as well " HOW TO" in Elite Dangerous ,and make this company NERF the game . But is not only in this game in all games . Thank you again . Keep doing a good work telling HOW TO DO and make conpanys nerf's the games ...
Takes too long, just go, for combat for mats and scan ships at compromised nav sats. All too much running about for too long combat is way faster to collect mats in the time you've taken to get to Robigo. Just a rehash to get clicks.
loops-loops-loops-loops = grind, Grind, GRIND, G.R.I.N.D forever and ever in galaxy 1:1. Becouse There is no god of grinding except "holy" Braben and FDEV - his prophets. :)))))

Yeah I made the mistake of stripping down my power distributor to gain a bit more range, definitely takes longer without the boost
doesn't work if the npc spawn on the med pad though

Another quality video! Thanks! I recently got back into Elite after buying a PC and downloading Odyssey. It's been a while and I feel like I did when I first started playing since I decided not to transfer my 7 billion in assets.
I'm playing years of catchup here, but your videos and Yamiks should be stamped Official.
@D2EA You may want to revise this video already. Seems that, as of today (30-12-21), all Robigo-Sothis sightseeing passenger missions are now listed as 'Demanding' in Odyssey. So every VIP passenger going to Sothis will demand you go do something or find something for them during the mission, with failure resulting in lower payouts.
The strange thing is that this isn't happening in Horizons, they are still normal in that (a few are demanding, but not all). So I'm wondering if this is a bug introduced today, or a 'fix' to nerf the payouts. I've reported it as a bug on the FDev tracker just in case it is a bug.
I have a Dedicated Python (engineered), specifically for the Robigo Passenger Grind - Robby.
For best results - Solo Play, gankers love Robigo.
I'm getting ready for Ceos-Sothis grind for Fed. I was planning on running solo due to the ganker situation, but how bad is the interdiction for the higher threat missions? I've noticed in other systems they're hit and miss. Threat 8 may not have 1 interdiction, but a Threat 5 can have several. Was just wondering what your experience in that area has been.. o7 CMDR
@@Boba_Brett13 Well, it's been quite a while, almost a year, since I've been back in the Bubble. I'm slowly making my way back from the Dryou Awesomes System.
The more the number of FCs in the system, the more the chances of Gankers being present. Something I learnt the hard way.
You can always check Inara for System security stats though, they keep good records there about system security.
Wish me a reason come back to the console edition, keep Going ASTRO
I'm new to Elite dangerous, so just discovered this channel... HOLY CRAP! It's a German Ed Sheeran! :D NOICE. OH and absolutely great video, thanks for the Info!
Grinding Fed rank in an Imperial Courier, lol
I need to get back into Elite.
Just need to stay away from the FPS part as i play only in VR.
Okay as a person looking at this as a way to avoid some of the painful boring grind for engineering mats I was with it until the life support lightweight at grade 4. Unless I'm mistaken the only ones I can get that from are lori jameson, which I'd have to have access to shinratta for which I don't, or Dorne which requires me to A, unlock her in the first place, but more importantly make a 22,000ly journey to colonia without an engineered vessel which I'm not even sure if that's actually doable in the first place. How big a requirement is that lightweight life support to getting this route down to a 2 jump run? I can do it in 3 as it stands but that 1 extra jump starts wearing my patience thin after the 20th run.
So yeah for empire rank just passenger missions with a asp explorer as well i think its good for beginners! Thanks for that👌
Minimum Jumprange is 30,21Ly
Excellent tutorial, it really helped explain the process.
I've been doing this for the last month. I'm allied with all the factions and I've never seen a pay out for more than 2.5 mill for the Sothis run.
That reminds me, I have a Beluga that's been at Hauser's Reach for a couple years. I wonder if the battery is dead 🤔
It'll be out of MOT for sure
Robigo has been my home for a couple years. Hauser’s Reach allows me to do whatever I want from Passenger Missions to swapping ships and Bounty Hunting in the multiple RES. Robigo Mines being faster is negligible.
The problem is that it's in a grvity well of a ringed gas giant, so the time to station increases dramatically
Ahh the old days of fast hauling “fertilizer” from Robigo… used to be how to get an anaconda in a couple of runs.
Great run! I haven't seen an Imperial rank up mission, tho? I check the mission and passenger boards after each run. I have gone from Pathfinder to Pioneer.
Imperial rank missions come from factions that a) are empire aligned and b) you're cordial or higher with, and you'll need to earn an amount of reputation with any (can be multiple, and will spill over the visible cap) empire aligned factions. The same applies to the alliance and federation.
Well I suggest you should mention, that you need a carrier to go there. The suggestes Python-build isn't capable to reach Robigo on its one.
You could swap one passenger cabin with a fuel scoop and swap it at Hausers reach, or get there in another ship and have the Python transported to Hausers reach. (that's wat i did)
Thanks for the video.
I'm out for couple of years. I only had a couple of engineers. Questions time:
Is this still active?
I remember I was lazy af, I have a corvette but didn''t enjoyed combat that much.
I want money to try new things
Is that possible to raise imperial rank even being high rank as federal? Will I loose the federal rank/my corvette?
I want to buy a cutter to make huge missions like transportation and etc, but I don't wanna it to take days and days into grinding money. I have a few hours per day to play. I don't wanna waste them.
Sorry stupid question incoming: your GUI looks so different from mine - and much better. Is this an Odyssey thing? I'm still on Horizons...
Yes, Odyssey thing.
Same question here.
Thank you for the video ! Great content
thank you great video
What's your favourite energy drink?
Good vid as always. You shoud make a vid of how to unlock Oden geiger. o7.
This is so helpful, thank you 😊
I just got a hint not sure how good will it be but how heavy are size 3 mlc for exploration conda so you use just 1 controler for different limpets that u will need in case you need mats :D
Great content.
Only about 2-3 missions available for materials and 2-3 each
Came here looking to hopefully replace my farming spot for 3+ years, I guess not lol...
Robigo mines is the best i got exploration rank elite a ton of credits and i can get grade 5 mats
Hej :) Hey First love your videos. i have the game ED Horison but my menues and starmap do not look like yours... i can not finde any info on this online but could you maby make a video about the difrences of Horison and Odyssey bisides the obviously that you can wlak around... i meen the meny, starmap and other lesser higlighet featurs :) Keep up the good work ! hygge !
After foot frustration, you are heading back to old habits. Flying. 🍕 😁
I don't seem to have enough fuel for a round trip in almost identical build. Must be doing something wrong.
The Passenger Missions have been nerfed since the 'ascendancy' Update. : (
Do saud kruger ships are really better for passengers mission tho?
So considering coming back to elite, is this still viable? And since i havent even started engineering stuff yet, am i correct that those material rewards are higher grade and can be traded down to get other stuff thus keeping me from doing content i have no interest in?
I'm trying to engineer a Vette, and I'm sick of farming Imperial Shielding to cross trade. Off to the mines I go.
Edit: Back to HGE farming.
the old robigo slave runs were the best.... you could adjust the difficulty by the amount of missions you took - the more you took the harder it got and if you took enough you had a proper white knuckled ride back to the bubble chased by both the cops and pirates - 1 scan and all the missions were failed - only the best made it back with all the missions maxed out - and managed to avoid the interdictions or avoid the cops and pirates that could drop right in front of you just after you hit the boost button! lol and if you managed to get to your next drop off you had to sneak into stations with silent running and everythig switched off including shields and the engines and glide in with fingers crossed that you lined up with the slot properly..... best gaming experience in ED i everr had... made my 1st 8bn doing them sadly they killed it quite a few years ago when they broke the heat mechanic
nice tutorial, but ive noticed the mat missions run out pretty quickly, i have my reps maxed with both the factions and after 2 runs with 6 mat rewards there arent any mat rewards anymore, just money
Thanks, firing up my Beluga.
That’s a mistake. The Baluga has to pick up from Howser’s Reach which has a few things going against it. A: it’s directly on the very cutting edge of planet rings…. You can literally coast out of the station and boost into the asteroids to mine. Depending on time of day, your super cruise can end as you return smacking you into asteroids, or the station itself. 2: for some crazy reason, the passengers pay less out of Howser’s reach…. Likely due to the idea that since there are more seats on the Luga, there is less demand… and there is never a call for a luxury cabin to atmospherics.
Stick to python and the station Robigo mines.
Been to Robigo but Hausers Reach never showed up, I searched about it but couldn’t find out why 😔
I see empire but what bout feds? Aiming for the corvette
I experienced my ship getting blown from under me during a level 5 security/risk(?) mission on solo mode but you seem to take no notice. Am I missing something? Apologies for a noob question but the game did warn me at the time my novice rank might mean I was in over my head and now I'm paranoid!
Probably cause you are new and have a weak ship that can't handle the beasts that are coming for you. I would stick with or close to those warnings at least until you start engineering, or get a monster ship
I don't know what it's like on PC but on Console I get up to as much as 3 interdiction's per station trying to do the Ceos to Sothis loop. It's so annoying af that I just can't do it anymore.
The more missions you have the more likely it is that some NPC tries to interdict you.
@@cmdrandreyuenari4150 That's the catch. If you don't load up on missions then it's really not worth your while. I just spread out what I do all over the place now instead of trying to focusing on one area. It makes things more interesting and less boring. It also seems to make it harder for the NPC's to get a fix on you.
Next do a video on multi limpit controllers please
I've been doing this for 3 days so far and I'm almost to Post Captain. It seems like it's taking far longer than I expected. Maybe it's normal speed. I've just noticed that I pick up the missions from Federation Unite and when I go turn it in I also get faction for the Independent contacts and the turn in mission with have their symbol instead of the Federation Symbol when I selected the mission. Is this a bug or normal?
thx for the info :D, too bad G4 raw material is not included ;c
want to get back in to the game. is this run still working? or did it get nerfed?
thxs
There is no security in robigo so no1 will scan your ship what will reduce the passenger/criminal satisfy
can someone tell me a hp how to finde a system to buy a imperial cutter ?
Why does your station interface and system information view look so different from mine? Is it a dlc feature or something?
And if I played the game this way, how quickly would I be bored?
Can i ask a kinda noob question, but why does your elite dangerous map/UI look so different to mine? is it a setting you can select?
There are 2 graphic engines in Elite. the 3.8 version used in horizon and on console, and the 4.0 version used in odyssey.
Oh god I've done this run so so so many times.....
The game seems to have changed a bit since the last time I've played (about when mining was nerfed)
All the menus and stuff looks different to what I see playing Horizons. Are you playing Odyssey? Im guessing thats the reason shits different looking?
My missions dont go over 2mill each for some reason.
The only problem with the Robigo run after your Max ranked federal and empire and your just out there for the cheddar… is that it’s boring as hell. Like mind numbing boring. If you suffer from any sleep deprivation at all, it will catch up to you running Robigo.
I'm just getting shot at when I try to transport illegal passengers... How do I get around that?
Interesting, Not once for me but possibly due to tonne of missions I've done years ago. I'm allied with Sirius.
@@lkupiec1978 i just got allied with Sirius, so I Wil try again and see what happens.
@@lkupiec1978 Hmm, seems like if I go from Robigo mines its ok, there is seldom authority vehicles there. But If I got from a bigger station I will get caught directly trying to leave the slot.
But there is still nothing that says that those passengers are illegal.. Seems like a old known bug when I google.
Be quick about it and dont hang around
Why does his UI look so different, is it because of odyssey? Im still on horizon since im not quite sold on odyssey
Yes, the Odyssey Update ist different
👍😊
How this work in horizon?
same.
Spoken too fast! Take a nap..
But really good information. I need a nap too, i will visit youre Video tomorrow ... 09
Thumbs Up 👍
Why this interface is so different?
Odissey. Just upgraded now. 😆
How do you avoid being scanned? No heat sink launcher....so silent running? Timing?
If you do Robigo Mines missions then you very rarely have this problem as you can stock up on missions that don't involve carrying illegal passengers. I use a python and can easily make 80m an hour. Even if you do pick up illegal passengers from Robigo Mines you will very rarely get scanned.
@@zip7275 thanks...but I can't engineer my fsd range high enough yet...unlocked grade 5, but not collected enough materials yet to make a grade 5 mod...my python only does about 20 ly when full. You need about 30+ ly range to do Robigo passenger missions?
They nerfed the whole game! I can't get a huge load of passengers nor can I find platinum to mine anymore. This video is 2 years old so I am visiting with those ships. Why did they do this?
Just let me say thank you for you and others youtubers show all this , like as well " HOW TO" in Elite Dangerous ,and make this company NERF the game . But is not only in this game in all games . Thank you again . Keep doing a good work telling HOW TO DO and make conpanys nerf's the games ...
In English?
@@purplepason In english , have a nice day...
another robigo video?
I mean it's good at everything, so why not?
Ugh, why does this system have to be so far away from me?
space is BIG
Disgusting looking at the system map and seeing all those fleet carriers. What happened to this game.. I haven't touched it in years.
Takes too long, just go, for combat for mats and scan ships at compromised nav sats. All too much running about for too long combat is way faster to collect mats in the time you've taken to get to Robigo.
Just a rehash to get clicks.
please find another money mission. those passenger missions are trash
