Just take a mining ship when you do this. Then there's no need to be selective with loot. Pick it all up and sell it. Also, using sniper headshots allows you to clear significantly higher level villages with the same tactics, but NPC drops are THEIR level, not yours. A single weapon or piece of armor can get you millions. p.s. Curious why you're sprinting all the way to a village instead of just using grav boots. Hella faster and you don't use stamina
Never even thought about using a mining ship, very nice tip! It's quite tricky to get headshots at lower levels though with lower dps snipers. As for the grav boots, it never even crossed my mind lmao though I don't think they'll work on every planet? Thanks for reminding me xD Appreciate the comment!
I put some of this advice together into a new tutorial for high level villages, thanks once again! If you'd like to watch it, here's the link ua-cam.com/video/7XOYeHPLrMU/v-deo.html
the same method your using could be applied to lv 60+ areas. just run out of range kill off all the soldiers (with any sniper scope weapon, at most 3 headshots would kill the high level guard not to mention the high xp gain for your soldier lv to increase quickly from 1 - 10 in a few kills) at range then go loot all the purple boxes on the ground. you could get up to a good 8mil per run. I've found that some of the loot is body armor for almost 1mil each. I agree with the mining ship, with more cargo space you can loot longer. and exit the planet atmosphere to re-enter for quicker movement then trying to fly through the sky.
That's an awesome tip, I wasn't sure if headshots would even do anything to guards at that level other than tickle them so I avoided anything more than 10 or so levels above me. But I might just give this one a try. Mining ship for loot never occurred to me, I'd probably use that from now on too. Appreciate the comment!
Started to hit lvl 60 villages. Thought i'd run out of ammo as a L6 Soldier with L3 sniper rifle but after a hour took it. There were ~10 loot drops with top kit from their troops....well worth the effort. Walked away with about 4m value in cargo which is epic. Now I'm L10 with a swanky new sniper rifle :D
Took an hour to clear the village? Damn that's some dedication to your craft :D Was the 4m just from the dropped loot? How much did you get from the crates too? I think I would still sooner go for slightly lower level villages since you'll be able to hit more of them in the same time.
@@celestialflea Lots of soldiers. To start the village points were ~2500. So took a while to get to zero and they abandon. I'd say about 3m of that was dropped loot. Some of the items dropped like L55 armour etc were super expensive. L51 T4 Pistol values at 300k and a L51 T3 armour set was 700k. Most items in the loot drops were valued 250-700k. Back again today to Latan in the Chulac (sp?) system.
@@celestialflea Took about 20mins this time with L10 sniper. Just found L55 armour M Chipping Suit (5234 armor) valued at just under 1m. Total sold in one trip just under 7m.
@@barticasun That's a much better turn around this time. So it seems like value of loot is tied to the level of the system and item, might need to do another vid on that.
@@celestialflea yeah looks like it. Dropped loot is highly valuable whereas loot in the outbuildings just offsets the heavy tax really. For the 920k armour I only got 647k net. Will get the name of sniper rifle in using now as single head shooting with it. Next up will be a higher system. I got too close to one base and they soldiers ran out but managed to hold them off. Also don’t climb any hills around the area as that seems to activate the base turrets 😵💫
It is not "insane money maker", it's decent money - Level under 10 is about 1 mil or so / run. From Level 20, it is 3 - 4 mil/run. Each level you increase, you will earn more, but also expenses will increase, so there is a bit of balance somewhere. Plus if you do space combat, you might want to reach high rank with Freelancers so you access good tier items which you can't loot (Legendary). Also, the best way is to use Contracts and pick missions with 0/0 exp/money with 1-2 levels above you, to get better items and more expensive ones - with no criminal record. Attacking a random village you might reach wanted list. Insane money you will make owning stations and systems :)
These are really great tips, I might see if I can cover some of these at some point, thankyou man! There's so many features in the game I haven't even touched on yet and probably still don't know about. But for a pretty new level 2/3 character with next to nothing to their name it is an insane money maker compared to everything else available to them, so I felt the title was fair game. I do try not to clickbait though and actually deliver on titles but at the same time as a small channel, there's a lot of competition out there for me to compete against. Appreciate the well-explained critique though!
As for weapons, Sniper rifle is the go to. Railguns can work, the pistol that fires the purplish orb is also doable as it has a long range and a radius that can hit multiples.
I went to a level 30-33 village and I was able to kick in a door and loot. I then got shot at and rocketed outside the perimeter than flew to the other side of the complex and looted again. They will chase you but only on foot, you can you the jetpack to fly from they.
The loot in houses will be at your level regardless of the level of the village, but the loot from the guards at high levels is the really valuable stuff. Watch my high level raiding guide here ua-cam.com/video/7XOYeHPLrMU/v-deo.html and you'll see what I mean, though wait until you're a bit more acquainted with the sniper until you try it. Yours is quite a fun tactic to try just for giggles if you're bored though. I would do this at a lower level village if I was you if you want to get a sniper rifle this way. Appreciate the comment, thankyou!
Even better one, Taking Ship (ANY SHIP) to a roid with the best ore or so. Then line up for hand (EVA) mining. find object to hold down both mouse buttons. Then just afk for 24 Hours....Sell ore for a good 400mil+ No the ship being overloaded amount doesnt not matter. you will warp at 87% loss no matter if your 0.001 or 500K over weight
@@celestialflea Its not exactly cheesy...the amount of mining guild faction you can gain via manual mining is trollingly low. So low that a normal player will NEVER get to mining tier 3 in any kind of reasonable timeline. Personally i need the game mechanics to respect that i have a job and a wife.
So glad you found it useful, like others have said use a mining ship so you don't have to be picky with what you loot and once you get better aim for higher level villages for even better loot! And thankyou for the sub!, means a lot!!! New video will be out in less than an hour!
@@celestialflea thanks mate Will pick up a mining ship. I was finding L11/12 and randomly L26 items and cashed in about 1m but ran out of space on the fighter. Need to scale up storage to a flying Amazon Warehouse 😂 Look forward to the new video.
@@barticasun Yeah higher level items are gonna be pretty rare but they absolutely make it worth all the effort. You can buy a mining ship from any mining station, just head into the guild market there you may need to join the guild first if you haven't already. I just hope your deliveries don't suck as much as Amazon's do lmao! Thanks again for the comment, good luck with your pillaging!
No faction it with owner? Yeah, I just confirmed that you take faction his if you do solo raids against other factions. The only place you can avoid it is through mercenary missions where the guy tells you the settlements are not registered.
I keep killing the guards, but they are continuously respawning. I can never get close enough to the bodies or get into the buildings to loot anything.
@@celestialflea Are you talking about the Red Bar for the entire VILLAGE? Also one more thing. Is there anyway to get the Scope to be Steady instead of moving all around?
@@jetsimmer Yeah, rewatch near the start of the video and you'll see me explain the red bar at the top, there's also guns next to it. Keep shooting guards from a distance until that vanishes, then it's safe to use
You mean the room with all the crates on the shelves? I definitely did them, probably just cut them out for the sake of time because there wasn't much interesting in them. Thanks though :D
As of the current patch I've seen no negative effects from doing this and I'm not on any wanted lists. That said as of yesterday's patch you are actually able to completely destroy AI factions and take over a system. So I'm not sure if raiding villages would contribute towards that aspect. But may be worth some testing.
If it works as you say it does this method will be limited by a couple of factors: 1; the availability of ships in each station. 2: Travel time to repeat the process in another station once ships are sold out. 3: It's liable to be patched imho, selling the same ship (I assume) the same station for a huge markup definitely doesn't seem like an intended feature. This method however, whilst certainly on the cheesy side it is likely to be around for a while. At least until the AI receives updates and is not only indefinitely repeatable but consistent too. But that said, if you're doing this anyway you can probably increase your profit margin if you pick the trader background, as I know that effects the sell price. Appreciate the comment all the same, very interesting. Thanks for the info!
Hi first of all, thanks for your sub and your comment :) The most recent update to the game did change every star system but as far as I know raiding villages still doesn't effect your crime rating, I'm not even sure if there's a crime system yet. You don't need to join any guilds to do this. However if you want to make a little bit extra money, join the mercenary guild and freelancer guild and look for the missions that tell you to loot a pirate village. Plus that'll give you experience and reputation! Hope this helps, and thanks again :)
@@rpscorp9457 Thanks for clarifying that, didn't actually know the railguns were even meant to have a scope. Though I'd still recommend the sniper even if it did have a scope, since if memory serves me correctly the railguns have a slower fire rate?
All guys makes the same. Kill all loot all. And only one said it can brake compaign. The best way to make money is to catch drop after battles in the space.
@@rpscorp9457 Sure there's better and much more reliable ways, the stabilisation system is just way to finicky to make it feasible but it's still some nice extra cash if you can get them at the end of a battle, if the pods spawn during? Forget about it, especially if you have a high DPI mouse.
