How I make a HUGE profit in Star Citizen..
Ойындар
Star Citizen has lots of options to help you make money but at the moment, the most profitable is large cargo hauling. Today I check out the 'gold rush' method and try to load up an M2 with as much gold as possible and run back some scrap to pay for fuel. This was a really good proof of concept but I need to come back and wait out for a full load.

Olli, thanks for making near daily star citizen videos. I know you and your editor are working your butts off to get content out. I appreciate having some good ol classic Olli43 content to enjoy on my lunch breaks every day
That transition from your ship to the Area18 shop was next level!
Olli "It's SOOO good" 43 You make me so freaking nervous dilly dallying around after making your purchase. Have your jump route set and quantum drive spooled before you ever lift off!!
To be honest, I don't do gold runs with my M2. Too risky and there's never any supply anyhow and I don't feel like waiting to fill up and then get ganked by some pirates. I prefer Beryl runs. You're less likely to be pirated because Beryl is like, 1/3rd the value of Gold and you can do very quick runs from SMO-22/SMO-10 to NB ... making around 200K per run every 10~15 minutes.

I don't know what their aim for the game is, but I think it would be cool to have some live trade pricing where certain planets produce certain materials and other planets use those materials. Then over time those planets need re-stocking, and the longer they go without those trades, the higher the price they'll pay to receive some. Then its up to the players to make those trades routes and keep the planets stocked up.

Thats the plan at least. They are implementing the Quanta system where a few hundred thousand "npcs" do different jobs including mining, trading and piracy and the economy and distress signals are going to be populated and constantly updated based on random chance and player intervention.

Honestly just before you set your route to arccorp, I thought of that one time when that exact thing happened to me, a pirate blocked the quantum lane and got me out of it. Luckily he was afk but I was kind of shocked that it actually worked. I just went past him and QT back to arccorp though my caterpillar had full cargo of Laranite so yeah - was not a pleasant encounter.

Thank you for not just showing a video of the one time out of 50 you got a large load of gold and then portray it as usual gameplay :)
If you use the C2, it has slightly larger cargo space for cargo hauls which is amazing, especially if you are doing the risky salvage missions
Never land on the pad unless you need fuel. If you are off the pad, then pirates cannot use their tractor beams in armistice.

My best guess for ships being there is pirates will leave a cargo ship (to pick up leftovers) and then respawn. They can then head back with a different ship that can prevent quantum travel. What the person in the mantis was doing, I'm assuming, is just scanning the ships on the pads for cargo aboard.
That transition @17:59 was slick… nice work 👌
Olli, I noticed you hit the "open" buttons when going through the C2. The doors are automatic if you just walk right up to them they'll open just the same without the button. Just FYI
Yeah, putting all your funding into a cargo load can be painful if it goes wrong. Not only pirates, but getting 30k’d will lose the load too most all the time.
The shubin mining outpost is one of the most known place resulting in low stock and lot of pirates.
I did a video not to long ago, I was at microtech and was server hopping for vice and was able to get stock each time I jumped. Me and my friend did a video where we was both in different servers me EU him Asia, and he bought stock at the same place I was and it didn’t change, I was still able to buy the stock and it took a long time before it updated to show the same stock
The quality of the video looks beautiful the wide screen makes this so much better to watch
If you head to microtech, you can get more gold per refresh. My org will sometimes send a c2 ther to load up completely, while a couple escorts scare away everyone else and scout out the area before you leave. Can make massive profits that way. If you take the time, you could land a cargo ship and a fighter at the gold mine,and then fight off the baddies before you leave in the cargo ship
I made the jump from a normal screen to a 21:9 and now to a 32:9 super ultra wide and I cannot recommend it enough, especially for things like SC, video editing and spreadsheet work lol

I LOVE the ultrawide format. Matched my 2x34" ultrawide screens and my phone. I don't mind the black bars on the TVs. It's worth the cinematic feel on my phone, desktop, and work MacBook Pro M2 Max (on ultrawide screen too). On my gaming laptop I use a Chrome extension that zooms in with F9. It's awesome. Ultrawide is such a better format. I feel like in 5-10 years TVs will be like that too, same as we went from 4:3 to 16:9.
wow it looks good! Just catching up on your videos. I really enjoy your content
The safest doglegs involve uncommon destinations. Don't pick a major planet, pick a less-used lagrange station to start your dogleg. It's usually not a problem starting from a rotating starting position on a moon (because early-point snares can't target routes from moving locations accurately, that's why most snares are close to the end), but it can be a big problem if you start from a non-rotating refinery like an L1 station. An organized org can for instance snare ARC-L1 all 4 TDDs to catch people who think they're being smart by avoiding an ARC-L1 ArcCorp snare to sell their quant. Early snares to Microtech from refineries work pretty well if you know there's miners in the area.

Hey olli! been a fan of your videos for quite some time now and each and every one of them was absolutely stunning to me. so i couldn't wait any longer and so when free flight came out i was so excited to play, and then saw that my game ran at 7fps 🤣, still loving it!
thats all nice and all until you realize there are 10 pirates camping you outside after youve loaded the gold onto your ship xD
I'll take a wallpaper of that shot.. My son flies a Caterpillar and I fly a C2 so it reminds me a lot of that but x 3 with all the other ships. amazing!
I just picked up my ultrawide monitor today, and oh my. Thank you for cinematic videos.
The transition in 18 mins was fire
19:39 THE NPC'S ARE REBELLING. WE MUST ESCAPE!!! except that one dude. he's just chilling.
The early pirate gets the golden worm.
My prediction: when more solar systems are released and economy is perfected, the A2 and M2 will be great for hauling the more valuable products long distances. Less fear of piracy with flying tanks and big guns. Same deal when Liberator finally drops, you can have other players pay you to ferry their smaller ships long distances and you still also have 400scu of space separate from the vehicle bay. That’s a future “career” I’d love to have, ferrying people, ships, and good at the same time.
Ollie I used to watch your videos pretty consistently then even started playing SC but bugs discouraged me and I quit watching and playing SC just came back and IK this video is kinda old I can’t believe you hit 1.5 mil congrats man keep up the great work and I’ll keep watching I just subbed

NPC bug is the same at New Babbage metroloop stairs from habs , Grimhex at the airlock and landing pad next to hospital and Lorville reclamation. its a consistantly inconsistant bug only really an issue at New Babbage because you cant get to the metroloop i just switch servers when i see it there. Brios breakers yard is usually a pretty hot zone for drugs runners and pirates [Voidude practically lives there.] so i would try a slightly different run back. Another great video though good to see you back on form.

Guides about making money in sc are one of two types: 1. they already have an incredibly expensive ship 2. they assume no money and show the most boring things to do that pay shit, you just have to repeat over and over again it until you are dead
19:35 if all worship the orb, the gears will again turn.
Yeah I've been away for months & when I came back to A18..🤯. Makes the spaceport hard to find.. but worth it
Money making is great, but try it hardcore starter mode using smth like a mustang only until u farm bigger ships, that would be interesting😮 P. S. Since I got shot in the back at brios' terminal resulting in loosing all my auec - avoiding that place at all costs xd
At least if you can find a low populated server, your odds of running across pirates is less.
how do you know which places to buy and which to sell? Does the game let you know if the price in a region is especially cheap or expensive?
Set-up tour in the future? Please 🥺
Pirates will always scan you before you lift off. They can see everything you have.
_"I'm here for gold. I wonder what they're here for?"_ 🤣 Two seconds later. . . _"Oh look they're out of gold."_ 🤣🤣🤣
Just be warned that this is THE easiest way to get pirated right now. This specific ship (along with the Cat) and this specific cargo is what they're keying in on. If you're going to do it, you really need to be running with a crew, at least have your turrets manned, preferably have an escort as well. Stock is shared across servers (on a region I believe) for all commodities, so you'll never fill with gold unless you spend a significant amount of time waiting or get lucky and get there first after a patch drops. If you wait around trying to fill, that makes you even more of a pirate target. They go after those people and break into their ships while they're waiting at the terminal. I used to do a lot of cargo hauling in a Cat and C2, but stopped when cargo was physicalized. I don't have a crew to run with, and it's far too high risk these days without one. On the plus side pirates basically live on gold routes now, so you can do other things virtually risk free. Now I do small quantity drug runs if I feel like running cargo. Still fairly profitable, some risk is there but it's minimal.
Seeing all that scrap merch. Mighty fine.
what control scheme does oille use to fly his ship like mnk, controller, joystick does anyone know?
Not sure if this would work, but how about pulling out a Ballista or Centurion ground vehicle and clear the sky before you leave with your cargo. Make sure they shoot at you first to try an avoid crime stat for yourself though.

that was exactly my idea, when i saw those cargo ships there - pilots get to blue building, spawn small ships or ground vehicles, and attack the pirate. The problem is that the pirates are not there, only Mantis is, they are just waiting on discord for more Mantises calls and then all gank on that one location. If it was just Mantis, that would be no problem. But they work in groups, using the fact that cargo runners are mostly solo players.
super ultrawide wallpaper? yesplease!

Hey Oli im new here in Starcitizen, got the free flight to see how it was but my fps are incredible low and I have a high end PC! Any advice?
There is only like 2 spots to buy gold from so pirates will camp those places along with any other places that sell expensive items.
Clipoftheday showed a crewed M2 with full AD4Bs shredding half a dozen pilots. Never underestimate the trader!

@bmjman6141

Most people just use in game credits, a lot of people are generous and give credits to beginners to buy pretty much whatever ship you want. Just pay the small 45$ to get started and use in game credits to buy all your ships. Also make sure you have a newer processor, SSD, 32GB of RAM, and 2070 super and above graphics card. Optimization is poor, so most of the time your processor will be the bottleneck.
Hello from your freindly cargo redistribution agent. Your run scores a 6. Not terrible, but you got lucky. Work on that situational awareness, be better prepaired, and most importantly of all... remember the verse is dangerous, bring friends!
Remember the sand cave you flew into? was that gold? and how about those blue crystals? maybe another visit with a drill :)

I've been wondering why the NPCs are sitting under the central sphere at A18 for the longest. You would think the servers would run better without having them spawned in there.
5:45 yeah, if everyone thinks they have to trade gold, you’re joining a queue …
Now it’s possible, but with Cargo refactor, when you must do put each SCU one by one 🤣🤣 this ship will be very bad for this . Thx for your video , now you right, with C2 you can do that .Sorry about my english

been running triple wide since last november. truly epic
Make something like this but u have to start with a Aurora or a titan with only 5k a-uec
I did a cargo run and spent like 300k on cargo I did the run a few times so I wasn’t mad but I made like 100k a run so it payed for itself and more but I was in space near an asteroid field and like 3 fighters came out of nowhere and I had to hop out the back and sat there forever until one of them jumped out of their ship to get my cargo and I jacked it
This video has the same issue all the other trade vidios do, step one is always get one of the biggest cargo ships in the game. They never set expectations for new players who font have the big ships already.

HAHAHAHAH gold ... i wonder if ED and SC did that on purpose?... or one of them did.... ahahah
I saved up for a C2, and now every time I try to sell my cargo, I have a red lock, and it won't let me sell it anywhere in the verse. Even though it's awesome, I wish I never would have bought it. It's done nothing but lose me money. :(
