Basically the title, sentinel ships are just so convenient and aren’t very demanding fuel wise, which gives pretty much no reason to start using normal ships/exotics.

What is the best way to make money in June 2023? Crashing economies with Cobalt is now pointless and, as far as I know, not worth the time. Sadly I can’t buy ships and then go and reclaim my old ship for free, so that’s pointless. Is it just grinding Freighters in pirate systems? Ancient bones? Salvaged Scrap? or is there something else I’m missing?

Idk who needs to hear this but pirate system farming is my favorite way to get 10’s of thousands of nanites pretty quickly. It’s not hard to net 50+k in an hour. You do need a Units bankroll but salvaging a couple Interceptors is more than enough to get started.

Any time I’m exploring the galaxy or searching for the coolest Interceptor in the universe I’ll stop at a pirate system every 3-5 warps to buy out the Suspicious Packet stock (tech and weaponry) and check out the local solar ships.

If I need a pile of nanites quickly to upgrade a ship or something I’ll hit up pirate systems back to back. I go to the station vendor and buy all the tech and weapon packets, and then go to one trade depot and buy them out too. Then warp to the next system and do it again. Once I have a stack or two of each packet I open them all up and sell them to an upgrade vendor.

One stack of 50 nets around 16-17k nanites. You can get a stack of each, tech and weaponry, in about 5-6 warps. It’s FREE REAL ESTATE!
