Nanite Farming, The Pirate System trade-route way
So…I finally got the nudge I needed from one-too-many people saying "but the wall of text is just TL;DR!"
So…I made my first Tutorial video instead.
Including the original Wall-o'-Text for posterity.
Step 1: Get both the Economy & Conflict scanners from the Anomaly's Ship-Tech vendor. You'll need a Walker-Brain for the Conflict Scanner.
Step2: In GalaxyMap, sort by Conflict, and choose the red stars. THEN you're looking for the stars with the pirate symbol (that's the skull). Travel to that system. You'll want a bunch of those systems (15-20).
Go to Pirate Systems.
Buy Banned Goods from the vendor on the far-left if you're looking at it from the Teleporter (under the yellow junked ship).
Buy tech & weapons packages from same dealer (not the next dealer over that sells 'em for nanites).
Go to a NON pirate system by cycling through one of your bases (you can't go directly to a Non-Pirate space station from a Pirate system or vise/versa). Sell off the Banned Goods immediately, don't just fly around with that stuff (a system Scan will get you popped & chased by sentinel ships).
Open all the tech & weapon packages. Sell those to one of the Tech Dealers across on the other platform for nanites.
Lather/rinse/repeat.
Hit a few Freighters IN THE PIRATE SYSTEMS ONLY for more banned goods to sell, to keep your $$$ headed north…so you can keep buying those tech packages. Don't hit the free-floating Cargo Pods or you lose Standing with whatever Race is dominant in that system.
Develop a LIST of Pirate systems & hit them regularly, they'll regenerate their inventory for you to buy again about every 30 minutes to an hour. I've got 20 in my list. It takes me 30-45 minutes to go through the whole list & nets me about 50k Nanites per rotation.
I keep track of which ones I've done by going through the whole list of pirate systems (while in pirate systems, ONLY Non-Pirate systems will say "unavailable" something to that effect), then cycling back to sell off.
That keeps them in order so I can go back for another run later.
