From Broke to Billionaire, A Pirates Life
I would like to preface this by saying there are a hundred different options for farming both credits and nanites, most of which may very well be better than this, but for this run I have solely focused on being a pirate. You can use the pirate's path to earn either of these currencies no matter what vessel you choose to fly, I just try to do things with a little swag when I can, hence the Swag class hauler. You will get a considerable amount of pirate bounties finding their way to you as you do this which can boost rep and increase gains as well as liven things up a bit. I would recommend farming them alongside the run if they get close to you but I chose not to in order to better track the raw value of the stolen goods. I didn't track how long this takes as it will be different for everyone. I personally tasked myself with hunting down a 48 slot S class hauler and maxed its inventory before I even began. This alone could take you an unimaginable amount of time if you don't use the coordinate exchange. Something in hindsight I wish I had done, though I am a fan of the orange Serenity I managed to find. Another factor in the time spent would be the system you farm. I would consider myself very lucky with my system fleets, I had multiple large vessels for each fleet, and I found the system in my first couple of warps, your RNG will be different. I will admit this took hours to accomplish, even with all of the RNG odds in my favor. If you made it this far, Thank you. If you're interested in a painful challenge, come join the ranks of billionaire pirates, just don't forget the Swag. Below are some stats I decided to jot down.
