Elite: Dangerous was recently updated with some new features. Brendan takes us on a journey through space in this new series, where he will be exploring faraway stars and getting into trouble elits the space police. My first mistake was packing my cargo hold full of stolen explosives. My second mistake was trying to fly that cargo full of explosives, at high speed and with my engines off, through a tiny opening in a giant space station. By the time I realised my trajectory was all wrong, I had already belly-flopped into the metallic surface of the station, hundreds of metres away from the gateway I had intended to speed. I exploded on impact. Such is the fate of many pilots who try to emulate the Isinona Manoeuvre.

Elite: Dangerous was recently updated with some new features. Brendan takes us on a journey through space in this new series, where he will be exploring faraway stars and getting into trouble with the space police. My first mistake was packing my cargo hold full of stolen explosives. My second mistake was trying to fly that cargo full of explosives, at high speed and with my engines off, through a tiny opening in a giant space station.
By the time I realised my trajectory was all wrong, I had already belly-flopped into the metallic surface of the station, hundreds of metres away from the gateway I had intended to speed. I exploded on impact. Such is the fate of many pilots who try to emulate the Isinona Manoeuvre. The Isinona Manoeuvre is best documented here in YouTube form by the pilot it is named. Basically, in Elite: Dangerous, you will sometimes find yourself with a cargo hold full of stolen goods. And you will sometimes want to get those goods into a station with a strong security presence, to sell them on the black market for sometimes major dollar.
Description of custom officials: militant, well-trained, of murderous intent. Holders of advanced pulse weaponry, class 1.
One way to avoid detection is to use the Isinona Manoeuvre. This involves lining your ship up with the port from approximately 10km away, shutting off all your engines, turning off flight assist, and waiting for your ship to go cold.
Now, the tricky. You turn on your engines long enough to fire your afterburner so you tumble at full speed towards the gateway, then quickly turn them off again and pray for the following:. At the last second and I really mean at the last second you must flick your engines on and adjust yourself, steering neatly terrifyingly fast into the port. Of all the things I can tell you about the manoeuvre, this is probably the most important: make sure it is worth trying.
Isinona made it look a lot easier than it is. Explosives, for example, are worth dirt. On the black market I imagine they go for even. It was stupid of me to even try it. I could also have just travelled to a lawless port and done my shady business. It was the dumbest thing I have ever tried in Elite. No surprise I went back to pan-handling for lost gold around Freeport — a station without laws or pesky custom officials.
I bought myself a gorgeous Lakon Type-6 Transporter to celebrate the end of my life of petty smuggling. This was how you make the big money in Elite. Transporting huge quantities of expensive goods and hawking them for extortionate rates. I could make 91, credits in a single trip, enough to buy two Eagle fighter craft and have some pocket money left.
I felt I had seen most of what the game had to offer, so I placed my Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas to one side, hung up my headphones and retired from space. Last week, however, Frontier released their newest version, Beta 2. Only this time: no mistakes. On starting up again I found myself destitute. Oh yes, I had forgotten. There had been a character wipe. Of course there had been a character wipe. This is how Early Access works. If you check the Elite Dangerous forums, you will see the lunatic loyalty of the Elite backer in his or her native habitat.
In one thread they were asked how they would feel if there was a server wipe with this latest update. The responses were all positive. Wipe us out! I was not so happy, only because I had been driven down to a mere creds and how was I supposed to buy the shiny new Asp with that? I sat in my Sidewinder and frowned. There she was, the Asp Explorer. One hundred tonnes of cargo space, metres per second at maximum boost, a 13 light-year jump range, and a steal at —.
I closed my catalogue. This was not going to be easy. The most I have ever had in my account at any time was just over a million credits, which I used to buy my beautiful space truck, the Type 6 Transporter. I might have to go back to pan-handling after all. Often these are other ships, sometimes hostile, sometimes not. It could be one container, or it could be ten. The contents of the crates are things like coltan, explosives or, ugh, bauxite. But what you are really looking for is gold, which goes for approximately 4, credits per container on the black market.
Patience can be rewarded with mad hawls of 45, credits, if you are in a ship with a large enough cargo bay. I would find the gold in pockets of space around the rings of a rocky, Independent planet called Anahit.
Still, there was a strange satisfaction to my job as a fortune-seeker in the galactic gold rush. Before the beta 2. I had a routine. Step 1: Drop out of super cruise at an unidentified signal. Step 2: Assess the containers. If gold: continue. If bauxite: swear blindly and start jump. Step 3: Approach a container slowly and cautiously to m. Step 4: Check for signs of a trap. Signs of trap include: Three ships falling out of super cruise, messages of hatred broadcast from aforementioned ships, laser fire.
Step 5: Approach to m. Repeat Step 4. Step 6: If not a trap, deploy scoop and collect booty. If a trap, full power to engines, thrust foward, afterburner, steer away from ships, engage jump drive, sweat, pray. So, I took off from Azeban Orbital in my Startwinder and resolved to go back to pan-handling until I had enough for something a little more exciting.
Transporting some precious metals to Freeport would get me a tasty 10k, so I took it. Freeport was the station I did most of my pan-handling around, so when I arrived there and dropped off the goods I was in the right neighbourhood. I headed out wearing my gold rush face, ready for an hour or so of sweet, patient trawling. Results of trawling: Terror, panic, multiple encounters with the pirate known as Vox Despairo, absence of gold or anything of value.
The only thing I ran into was the NPC Vox Despairo in his fearfully-equipped Anaconda the heaviest, meanest, most expensive ship in the game. You could try dumping some cargo to appease. Time and again this brute would appear when I investigated an unknown signal. Twice, I barely escaped with my life, as a lethal missile homed in on me as I jumped.
Making money was going to be a lot harder from now on. I sped away from Anahit and its rings, leaving Mr Despairo free to slaughter some other Klondike Kid. I headed for the lawful systems nearby and did some petty delivery boy stuff between I Bootis and the Aulin. I reach the spaceport and drop off the stuff like a disgruntled DHL employee.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Please sign. I pick up the device and it replaces my basic scanner. I mark a course for a nearby system that looks to still be unexplored and leave the station with a smile. By the time I reach the uncharted solar system I am elite dangerous how to make money early with anticipation to use my new gadget.
It would appear I have made a mistake. The piece of kit I had was an add-on, not a substitution. To make matters worse, I had seen nowhere that sold the original device, so the only way of getting it back would be to purposefully destroy. That may seem counter-intuitive, but in the world of Elite: Dangerous, the starter ship is always free. So selling back the Surface Scanner and killing myself made sense in money terms.
It was the financially responsible option. I dropped off in Bolg, sold the useless Scanner, and went back into space to suffocate. I turned to my console where I switched off engines, weapons, shields and finally, the life support. I waited for the clock to tick. Time went by slowly. Was this the right way to go out? Choking in a tin can in the middle of nowhere?
Double it for Elite. Now you can make your time in space even better. Just remember to turn in your bounties regularly, because moneh you die you lose. Typos galore. Buying a ships kit brings you luck. I’m sure you’ll find a place that does the same for you. You can always try your hand at trading if you have some cargospace in a decently fitted ship. There is an other way to make money when you are not intrested in Missions or Combat. Originally posted by TiberiuS :. I’m sure elitee will have better answers for you, but thats what i did.
