The 3A prospector limpet controller can only handle 2 limpets, so each time you fire a new one, the one you fired before the previous one expires.

@@hughjardon3538 oh thanx

Thanks for your comment. I made this video because I was getting in frequent arguments on various forums, where people were always recommending the Cobra as the best first mining ship. I actually got banned from all the main forums, basically because I proved them wrong and they didn't like it. I think my two most useful videos are on how to mine for money and the two on Pirate massacre missions. The Thargoid ones are no longer valid because of changes in the game. Most of the other stuff is still valid: ua-cam.com/video/uTNTGYVy4nk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HughJardon ua-cam.com/video/ToQcJ-9jVao/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HughJardon ua-cam.com/video/4vEF1ZyTZCo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=HughJardon

It's in solo because you always get interference if you try to make a UA-cam video in open. Each time you arrive, you get a different spawn of ships - only small ships, only big ones, mixed, lots of ships, not many. If its not what you want, log to the menu and back again to reset it. The best spawns for massacre missions are mixed big and small ships, so if you don't see big and small within a few minutes, probably needs to logoff and on. When you arrive, yellow square tops on the radar signals is also a good sign of it being a good spawn. I made a follow up video on how to optimise these missions, which you should see once you have the basics figured out. I give several useful tips in that one, including some combat tactics. There's also a bit about spawns: ua-cam.com/video/4vEF1ZyTZCo/v-deo.html

That's right, Sirius Atmospherics is just a beacon that you have to scan. Just target it and point at it. Be careful not to crash into the other passenger ships that like to cross in front of you.

I only do it to get comments like that.

Nice to see you again. I changed my name about 4 years ago, which might be why you didn't see it. Just noticed - 183,000 views. Wow!

@@hughjardon3538 ahhh that would make sense indeed! And wow indeed, this vid helped so much starting my journey on this game and the rest is history, hope all is well for you in life mate.

The quickest way to make money is to use a Vulture in a low RES. A T10 is too slow, and so are the other big ships. The T10 is the best ship for AFK because it has the most turrets, but it only works AFK with full engineering. Normally, when you have a few billion, you should first unlock the Guardian modules, then work your way through all the engineers.

Re-logging in the main way to get more pirates. It takes a while before you can recognise the signs of a good spawn.Also, you should use the same ship and load out as I do. Lastly, you have to do it in a LOW resource extraction site because the pirates are much quicker to kill there.

@@hughjardon3538 Thanks for getting back to me. Im in a low res site and the loadout is the same as yours except a rated sensors with a bit of power management. i cant see me doing 30 kills per hour but ill give it a few more goes, Im going through your beginner combat series. Very usefull

I think you missed the point: they can't scan you when you use that procedure. You're in before they start scanning.

The pirates will attack you if you have any cargo in your hold. You should be able to outrun any as long as you start running before they attack. If you log out during a mining session, you need to be ready to run as soon as you log back in. About 10 to 20 boosts is normally enough to run them off the radar and a bit more to be able to mine in peace. It also happens when you got an accidental bounty on you. In that case go to a station in any low security system and the Interstellar Factor there will sort it out for you.

@@hughjardon3538 Holy crap, it's so simple. Thank you!

Note that I updated my reply

You're bringing back my very distant memories. There are tears forming in the corners of my eyes. It looks like you're on your way now - still loads of stuff to try and find out. I've done about 13,000 hrs and still find out new things. The Vulture is the best un-engineered ship for pirate massacre missions. The Chieftain just beats it when they're both fully engineered. What I'd do now is knock off a couple of billion, then sort out the Guardian modules, then work your way through the engineers. When you've done all that, use any of the main money-making methods (pirate massacres, platinum mining, biology scanning) to make another 6 billion to get your Fleet Carrier, then maybe go and tackle the Thargoids. Make a list now of all the engineers and what you need to do to unlock them because you can do some of the stuff now without extra work, then do very tasks in paralle rather than the boring and tedious way of doing all the tasks one at a time, like trading in 50 different markets - every time you visit a station, buy and sell a ton of something. Look out for stations with active black markets - you only need to trade in 5 of them, etc.

Good stuff. It's not really worth upgrading to the Asp from a T6 for mining. It is better, but by the time you've found one and outfitted it for mining, you could have mined enough for a Python using the T6. It's a close judgement between the Anaconda and a Python. I think the Anaconda wins when fully engineered, but without engineering, it's too slow and dangerous. I can average 125 million per hr using a Python with very light engineering and selling to the normal market rather than a fleet carrier.. I' don't think an Anaconda can get close unless it has engineering.

I' don't think an Anaconda can get close unless it has engineering. The main problem with the Anaconda is that you need grade 5 dirty drives to escale from pirate attacks. If you have them, it's a good ship. If you don't, it's a flying coffin except for exploration.

It would probably be better in the long term to buy any fuel scoop you can and any upgrade to your FSD, bearing in mind that you need power to run it, then travel to the places that I show. Don't forget to set your route to economic in the galaxy map settings to reduce the number of jumps. Really, you should be making around 5 million every hour at this stage if you copy what I show.

Tell me where you started, and are you playing Odyssey or Horizons 4.0? If you started in Odyssey, there is a high resource site in the starter system about 2200ls from where you start. Data deliveries is a very slow way to start. It's for losers. Avoid getting a Cobra as your next ship because it will also slow you down. A Type 6 costs the same and carries nearly three times as much, and for combat, it safer to stay in a Sidewinder until youu can get a Vulture. Never buy a new ship until you have the money to fit it out for the job required.

@@hughjardon3538 Started in AULIN and am Playing Horizons. Have made my way arround my neighbourhood, realised very quickly i wouldn't be travelling far in the sidewinder... Have done the tutorials and have been mainly trying to get used to the UI, i'm using an xbox controller (i have nerve damage in both hands and have problems with movement and feeling in the ring fingers and little fingers on both hands, controller seems to work ok, whereas i think i'd struggle with just keyboard and mouse - i'm also not as young as i was when i first played years ago so my reactions are slower aswell se la vie). Have about 40 hours behind me, most of which has been spent crawling arround just getting used to and learning about the controls and interface. Have done a few courier missions and have about 350K so far. Found a website via another YT tutorial that helps find ring worlds and resource sites - so now i'm at WYRD. Where there is a Low res site, now i know just how easy you make it look picking off pirates being chased by the Police; believe me i tried but in 30 minutes i hadn't bagged one!! By the time i was lning up on a likely ship it'd be blown up before my eyes ! 🙂 I'm going to have to practice combat / flying quite a bit more if i want to own anything bigger than this flying shoe LoL.

ok - tried my hand again in the low res site at WYRD. Bagged one at last after 30 minutes of trying 🙂 15 minutes late another one. First got me nearly 650k and the second one about 70k Just made my first 1,000,084 🙂 🙂 🙂 Not bad after a night shift. Like i said, love your guide. So Cheers !! If i can finally buy something bigger and faster i can maybe find some better sites. Think i had better go get some sleep.

Each kill counts for each faction that you have an open mission for. There are 5 factions that give missions, so if you have one mission from each faction, your first kill will count 5 times. When you have killed enough to complete the lowest mission, each kill will count 4 times until the next lowest is complete, then three times, then two, then one until all are complete. The plan is to collect missions such that you have to kill approximately the same number of pirates from each faction so that each kill counts for all factions - five times each, though you can't always get it like that.

Yes, it's still working. An Anaconda isn't a good ship for it because it's too slow and cumbersome. If you don't have engineering, use a Vulture, otherwise a Chieftain. Go to exactly the same place to get the missions and fight the pirates in the same low resource extraction site.

@@hughjardon3538thank you! I also had one last question that I forgot to ask. Many times in the video you say “balance your mission” and idk what you mean by that. I mean I’m just gonna take as much mission as I can on the mainani pirates…

It takes one hour from start to get the money for a Type 6. Didn't I explain how to do that in the video?

I'm not sure whether you can get it. I think it's Horizons 4 and Odyssey only. You get it from the rescue ships in the Thargois war zones. They're marked on the galaxy map. If your galaxy map doesn't show the resue ships I'd say that they're not available in your version of the game (Legacy). Can you get the MODIFIED shard cannons from Mbooni? I think the weapons stabiliser came at the same time.

@@hughjardon3538 Hi Hugh, the Experimental Weapons Stabiliser is not available to PS4 players and the galaxy map doesn't show the new features you described. We also seem to have lost some of the old features as well of the galaxy map. None of the Thargoid stuff is visible or the rescue ships. Looks like us old legacies are being left way behind. 😣 So I set up my Corvette as it's tougher and more manoeuvrable as you described but with just 4 Modified Shard Cannons from Mbooni. With 4 you have to take out an extra heart and hit them a few more times. At Kipling Orbital in Pleiades Sector KC-V C2-11 there are lots of Thargoids and being a small system everything is nearby from Nonhuman Signal Source Threat 3 to 9. Unfortunately you do have to travel forwards and backwards to the station for repairs and you also have to finish them off in one go. The easiest way to find an Interceptor is to fly straight out of Kipling Orbital, go to supercruise and when speed hits 0.2c reduce speed to minimum, then select the nearest Unidentified Signal Source from the navigation pane, turn around and point at it and then run down the list. There's usually a Nonhuman Signal Source Threat 5 or 6 nearby and this is the easiest way to find the nearest. If you run out of signals use the Full Spectrum System Scanner (FSS) and tune the Filtered Signal Analysis bar to Nonhuman Signal Sources (second signal source group from the left). Nonhuman Signal Source Threats 3/4 are just Scouts. Nonhuman Signal Source Threat 5 are either: Ship wreckage from a battle with a Cyclops which has gone. Lots of Scouts who will proceed to trash your hull if you don't have shields! A Thargoid Sensor (which yields sensor fragment Materials if you destroy it). or A single Cyclops snoozing in the wreckage of several ships. To destroy a Cyclops (total of 4 Hearts): Reduce your speed to 0% and let it come to you. Set pips to 204 and target the Cyclops. Fire a Heatsink, two shots and the Heart appears, then shoot and destroy the Heart. Its shields then come up, fire another Heatsink and 5 shots to knock them down. Repeat this process to take out 3 hearts and then finish it off. Full reverse is then required to avoid the contamination cloud. You should finish with about 90% hull and can then return to Kipling Orbital for repairs. Threat 6 is a Basilisk (or a Cyclops with Scouts). A Basilisk is much tougher and you may loose more than 50% of your Hull! You will need twice as many shots as you needed to destroy a Cyclops. Tips: If you don't destroy the Heart quickly the interceptor will go into beserk charging about mode and you may have to chase it. Night Vision can help with targeting. Use High Grade Emissions trick to flip threat location occupants. Scan interceptors for Encoded Materials. Threat 7 is a Medusa (or Basilisk with Scouts). Threat 8 is a Hydra (or Medusa with Scouts). Threat 9 is an aggressive Hydra with Scouts! All the Interceptors without Scouts are passive unless fired upon and are all quite beautiful. It's a shame we can't communicate with them and make peace. Sorry for long comment, but you did say "share the knowledge". 😀 Thank you for your interesting and informative content and your helpful response 👍

You must have made a mistake. There have been no updates since that video was made. It's the latest game version. Did you open up the system map, like I showed you? If it's not there, in the System map, scan the nav beacon to make it show.

I very much appreciate your response. But I did everything possible to find Mainani 5 but it's not there in either Odyssey or Horizons. Even the system map on my computer doesn't show the 4th and 5th planets in that system. Mind boggling really.@@hughjardon3538

I went back and scanned the nav beacon and that's what it was, the 4th and 5th planet and the low res site are indeed there. My apologies and thanks for the great series, I followed the whole thing and it has been a blast.

I haven't seen the point defence shooting down police missiles, so I guess that they don't use them in the low RES. For all A-rated core modules, you must have different weapons. The burst lasers work so well that I wouldn’t want to give them up, especially for anything that uses ammo.

@@hughjardon3538 No, I have 3E Gimballed Burst Lasers x 2 like you. All A Rated Core (except 3D Life Support of course). Utilities only 1 OC Shield Booster. Optional is: 5C Bi-Weaves. 5D Hull Reinforcement Package (RP), 4D Module RP. 2A Fuel Scoop 1D Module RP x2 1E Supercruise Assist and 1E Advanced Docking Computer. Cargo Hatch Disabled. When I deploy hardpoints my Fuel Scoop, Docking and Supercruise Assist turn off. It works quite well for my newer pilots climbing the ladder.

@@hughjardon3538 The Point Defence is hearsay but from a reputable chap. Can't remember. Yamiks, D2E@ or Exiguous. If you haven't noticed it taking down Security Service missiles, I take you at your word. Perhaps only in High Rez. I think it was said the bigger ships Police Anacondas fire some missiles.

Vulture is so satisfying to fly. The agressive sound, the 2 large hard points right behind the cockpit, the maneuverability... with just a touch of engineering on the power plant it's a powerhouse for a small ship.

@@MrStoffzor Yup, I enjoy the smaller ships to make a change from the work horse of Python in collecting Eng Mats while in Combat.

I'm sorry, Gustavo, I'm not sure where you mean. can you give some more details so that I can give you an answer.

@@hughjardon3538it’s okay i was doing this and after a while they didn’t appear anymore any way to fix this?

I'm not a fan of the Viper. It's not nearly as easy to control as the DBS and the weapons layout is a bit inconvenient too. It needs engineering to get the best from it. R2R is another way to get the money for the Vulture, especially as it's a fair distance to Ngalinn. I chose combat as the method because I thought the practicewould help before they start with the Vulture. A lot of guides send new players to do biology scanning in odyssey, and claim huge amounts of money, but I'm pretty sure that those are mainly lucky runs and people that didn't count the time it took them to travel into deep space. I think massacre missions is a lot more reliable and predictable, so I stick to that method. It was encouraging to see quite a lot of noobs in the starter systems. I think Starfield must have done something to attract them, and they're asking questions on various forums about what to do, which is why i updated this series. Great to see you're still around.

@@hughjardon3538 The combat route up has it's merits, no doubt it is more fun. I went completely up the combat route following your guide back in 2018. I was so excited to move into the Python but found that without engineering, it does not excel in combat. I moved on somewhat disappointed before coming back to it and finding it glorious with Engineering. Thank you for all your help over the years. I endeavour to pay it forward in one to one mentoring with newer players.

The pirates come about every 20 minutes on average. With a Python, you fill up so quickly that you rarely see them after the first-spawn ones have gone. If the pirates do come, they just ask for some cargo, so I give them what they ask for, or, if I'm nearly full, I leave and go sell what I have. That video was not my best run or anything like that. I hadn't even used a Python for ages. I just made it to settle an argument and ran it off first time.

Yes. I was doing it lasr week.You must copy exactly. When you copy the Vulture build, you must set the cargo hatch and FSD to power priority 2 in the modules tab to prevent your ship shutting down when you deploy weapons.

Not like they did when I made that video. There were none yesterday, but there might be today. I haven't checked, otherwise check again next Thursday when it changes again. The devs don't want anybody to have fun.

You're not doing what I showed. the video shows you what to do and where to go. You shouldn't skip!

@@hughjardon3538 I feel I have a valid point. You shouldn't NEED to do something overly specific in order to progress in the game. A combat encounter one skill level above my current rating should not be a ridiculously one sided ganking session where I get blown up by about 20 enemies simultaneously. But that's what happens at threat levels 3 or 4 with a simple mission to kill a few pirates.

First, you have to go to the right place - Ngalinn. Second, you have to get reputation by doing missions. As your reputation with each faction goes up, they offer you more and higher paying missions. Lastly, your combat rank affects some of the missions. The non-wing ones only pay half as much if you're harmless compared with what you get when you're elite. Your 1 million tells me you're doing something wrong. I have started many new accounts, and when I go to Ngalinn as a harmless guy in a Sidewinder, there are always missions for more than that, and I get around 30 million from missions to kill a total of around 60 pirates. Within a couple of trips, then using a Vulture, I'm earning over 100 million per hour. It's exactly the same in Odyssey, Horizons 4.0 and Horizons legacy version,

Please ask if you have more questions.

When you go to Ngalinn, it's an outpost, so you need a Vulture or Chieftain. You can use a T10, but you'd have to swap ships at a nearby system to get the missions.

Found the lo res and high res but they spawn about 6 pirates an hour pirate mission stacking is dead in elite 2023 😥

Yeah followed your advice but this is about the 15th system I’ve tried now and biggest issue is no pirate spawn at res sites targets just seem to be scattered in random groups throughout the system listed as threat 2 to 4 usually but if you drop in a threat 4 solo you face around 15 pirate ships at once so death at my level, I think basically all old bonuses like pirate stacking or trading in diamonds has been nurfed out now I used to trade ltd at 1.2 mill a few years ago now they are a few hundred thousand think days of relatively quick big money for new players is over ah well good content though 👍🏼

Go to Ngalinn, there are still plenty there and you can complete them in the low RES in Mainani, like in the video. I was there two weeks ago, and was making 250 mil/hr including all time except the time to stack the missions (about 1 hr).

@@hughjardon3538 must be missing something I've done about 8 missions like this as an overnight afk and if lucky it's doing 200 mil in 6 to 8 hours!!! Basically due to time taken for pirates to spawn and that's in horizon or Odyssey makes no difference 😔

It used to be only when you set the throttle to zero. I think they might have changed it in the last update after 9 years, and it's now an option in the settings that's set to stop by default because they got a lot of complaints after they introduced supercruuise assist.

I know all about that. I got triple Elite only using only a Sidewinder: forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/triple-elite-in-a-sidewinder.390170/

I made a later video that covers that a bit better. I used a Type 6, but the method is the same for all ships. I found btter ways of dealing with the pirates: ua-cam.com/video/uTNTGYVy4nk/v-deo.html

Just realised i was going to a 20% area, will try 85%

Just go to the one in Paesia or Macua unless you're trying to fully optimise.

Low RES only if you want fast kills. Ships are much higher rank in a hazard RES and much tougher to kill. If you want to increase your combat rank rather than get money, a high RES is best. Log until you get a good spawn of only small ships.
