This is probably going to be old news to some but I discovered a couple things while I was scrapping that might be helpful

So – what I was doing – Hanging out at a BOOMING economy space station. I like to do this cuz the quality of ships is higher (more A and S classes and an exotic now and then). Scrapping A classes gives you about 600-900 nanites if you sell the upgrades to the NPC’s. You lose money on scrapping overall but I’ve got money to burn so no big. When you scrap it kicks out random useless junk you have to sell but also some minerals that are useful.

Ok, so what’s the secret? Well – while you’re doing this, buy and sell from the pilots. Buy what? well I buy all their minerals but once in a while they’ll pop in with Di-Hydrogen Jelly. ALOT of it! 650 isn’t unusual. 10 Jelly = 500 Di-Hydrogen if you refine it. That’s 6500 Di-Hydrogen with a click! In an hour I only found one pilot with it but plenty with Tritium and bought all of that and most of anything else they had. Ended up with 10,000+ of almost every mineral you can think of and enough Fuel to last a week for all the Frigate missions and thousands of nanites and a new exotic!

My new Exotic!
