Being able to boost at Robigo Mines can save you a lot of time and frustration. If you hit boost the moment you drop out of supercruise, you'll be in range to get your docking permission before any NPCs spawn and hog the single medium pad.

Doing Federation courier missions in an *Imperial* Courier. Classy. 😎

About materials, that's what I've done since I discovered Robigo. I usually get 7-8 missions all with 2-5 g5 or g4 mats. Each run will give you at least 20 mats of one type.

oh this is so helpful! been unlocking all the engineers, and now I want to expand my ship collection, but for that I need both credits and materials. thanks for this, love all your videos!

Thanks for the size #6 business class tip. I had Eco's in there too.

I discoverd ROBIGO and the "Exploting" of the various missions, some 5 year's ago. Though I dry dock it at Houser, because I utilize my long ranged conda to get there if and when I desire. I've had a ROBIGO loaded Python dry docked there for five years.

First thing that came to my mind " I swear to God. It's gotta be another of those Robigo vids"

Thank you. I have kind of drifted away from ED over the past few months, trying a few different games and not really feeling satisfied anywhere. Just got a new extremely widescreen monitor and this video really got me pumped get back into Elite. Spent a couple hours tonight in game thanks to this video. Always appreciate what you do.

Hi down to earth astronomy! We love you! I wish you a merry Christmas! Thank you for the amazing content.

This is how I afforded my cutter unlocked the Corvette and got a fleet carrier.. and I am known in some groups as the Duke of Robigo

This is really handy, cheers. I've mainly been doing deep core mining in GCRV 1568, as well as HGE farming in systems near Khun. I'll definitely give this a shot!

For Hauser's Reach, fast super cruise approach is to line up edge on with the ring (which is actually exactly in line with the station's axial rotation for docking), just skim the ring's surface real close on approach and you don't have to suffer from the gravity well at all, plus you exit head on with the dock! :D

Supercruise Assist can smash arrival times at stations, especially for Robigo Mines as there is no need to line up with a slot. I leave a Python with this build at Almagest: Sirus Reach, 1 jump out of Robigo and closer to the bubble. Then I can use a high jump range ship ((with fuel scoop) Krait Phantom) to get there. Swap ships, jump to Robigo and I am away. I think Brunel Hub also offers Pax Missions to Sirius Atmospherics.

Glad to be third to comment. Learnt a hell of a lot from D2AE vids, still use CMDRS TOOLBOX, and even bought a Secret Lab chair last Christmas due to the promotion (as present for myself, cos my family have no idea what to get me...) Am completely useless in PvP, but his Vulture BH build has earnt me a lot of credits in PvE. Keep up the good work. Ageing civil engineer so love the maths and engineering approach.

I just want to say, thanks for this. I basically built a python for a thargoid evacuees. "Hey, this is pretty similar." Long term goal is an afk T10 to print money. Need those materials.

I did so many Robigo missions that when I went to grind out my imperial rank I only had to do rank up missions to get to duke

Thank you for updating the Robigo video - Det holder 100!

This is legit how I got my Corvette. Ceos Sothis loop for rank and Robigo passenger missions for the creds for both the Cutter and Corvette

This video comes at a perfect timing... Acquired sufficient credits for a Fed Corvette, but need rank. Have a Diamondback Explorer and a lot of time on my hands!

Another quality video! Thanks! I recently got back into Elite after buying a PC and downloading Odyssey. It's been a while and I feel like I did when I first started playing since I decided not to transfer my 7 billion in assets.

Excellent tutorial, it really helped explain the process.

Hause's Reach is pretty funny though, it's a station on the dramatic spot that if you using assist you will always disengages onto the rotating wheel, for so many times I thought my little passenger DBX(one jump build because I'm lazy) would be dead, or the passengers will get mad due to the bumps, but in the end games having some protections for at least, and I knew that because it actually landed me into the wheel and ejects me out. lol You don't actaully needs to dive though(unless something changed?), but sometime the nav point will blockcade by the belt(or the planet), it will delay your for a few seconds. Can't say I recommend it for a lot, unless you really wants station services or that drama-rated disengages. xD

@D2EA You may want to revise this video already. Seems that, as of today (30-12-21), all Robigo-Sothis sightseeing passenger missions are now listed as 'Demanding' in Odyssey. So every VIP passenger going to Sothis will demand you go do something or find something for them during the mission, with failure resulting in lower payouts. The strange thing is that this isn't happening in Horizons, they are still normal in that (a few are demanding, but not all). So I'm wondering if this is a bug introduced today, or a 'fix' to nerf the payouts. I've reported it as a bug on the FDev tracker just in case it is a bug.

I still enjoy slapping on some tunes and spending time mining. But I'll definitely be doing the robigo run again to feed the beast that is my carrier.

I was testing what the better ships would be for newer pilots, so far the Dolphin wins something between 8-10mil per tripp. Minimal Engineering needed for 2 Jump tripps. biggest downsite would be that you can only take 3 mission at a time. Total cost of the build are between 3-4mil (depending if you want to bring a shield or not, a Class 3 Econemy Class cabin would be a waiste of space anyway). Depending on the way you fly and if Robigo Mines and or Sirius Atmospherics is behind thier planets or not, the tripp takes around 10min (manual flying, both points infront of thier planets) to 20min (either Supercuise and both points infront [more like 15min], or manual and both points behind thier planets). clocking in around 30-60mil possible usualy around 32 with bad rng and 40 with okayish rng but your pilot being a deaf c*nt. Note that RNG with the mission is a thing, Also every time i tested with smaller ships like the Dolphin (i usualy dont do Robigo runs, but i think i will pick it up for a while and park my Dolphin in Ceos while i dont need it), i usualy only got a single 4-5mil mission and two to four 2-3,5mil mission at a time anyway - note that i dont have all 3 Factions on full Relations yet. Anyway here is the Build: Dolphin Core Internals: Lightweight Alloy 2A Power Plant 4D Thrusters 4A Frame Shift Drive (Increased Range 2 at 100%) 4D Life Support 2D Power Distributor 3D Sensors 4C Fuel Tank Optional Internal: 5E Economy Class Passenger Cabin 4E Economy Class Passenger Cabin 4E Economy Class Passenger Cabin 3D Shield Generator (Luxus not needed) 2B Fuel Scoop (for emergencies) 1E Supercruise Assist 1E Advanced Docking Computer Nothing in the Hardpoints and Utility Mounts Note that i put a bit of Luxus (Shield Gen) and Roleplay shit (Supercruise and dockin comp) that most likely will be used by newer Commanders. Its Sadly not quite posible to get it to make the tripp in 2 Jumps without engineering the FSD a bit - Grade 2 can be done within the first day of playing, how ever only if you know how and if you spent the whole day for that (all 24h) which is kind of nuts. I managed to get everything i needed for that build (had the Engineering Blueprint fixed) in Ceos and Hip 10792 with the last bit (the FSD) in Robigo it self. so either you prebuild the thing somewhere else and bring it here (put at least a 4A Fuel Scoop for that jurney in, if you value your sanity), or you try and get lucky. Did the Runs for around 2Hours with doing a lot wrong, mostly flying with Supercruise, going for a smoke after handin in the missions and basicly being everything but effective and made at bit more than 80mil in that time. The numbers i gave at the upper part of my are what i could make with the numbers i had during the last half hour, in which i tried to do everything as optimal as possible.

Man, I think I've watched like million and then some guides on how to make quick money in ED, but not a single one regarding on what to actually spend those easy earned money on!!! This game is really unique in this way...

Robigo Mines = Mid, 2 jumps and mid slots = fast from star to station Hauses Reach = Large, 1 jump, more slots/more missions selection (with 1st class has more) = slow from star to station I used to do the Robigo and then mad Hauses with the Conda... the money pay is not very diferent... Maybe doing a comparision on that ;) What you all commands make you point in this discution?

Been using a python for robigo runs, contemplating a krait phantom to cut it down to one jump there, one jump back. Less passengers per run, but less interaction needed.

I've been meaning to build a passenger Python and station it in Robigo, but always get sidetracked by other goals or events in game. Thanks for the reminder and the config suggestions!

I eat in Robigo, I sleep in Robigo, I breath in ROBIGO!

Thank you for the video ! Great content

Okay as a person looking at this as a way to avoid some of the painful boring grind for engineering mats I was with it until the life support lightweight at grade 4. Unless I'm mistaken the only ones I can get that from are lori jameson, which I'd have to have access to shinratta for which I don't, or Dorne which requires me to A, unlock her in the first place, but more importantly make a 22,000ly journey to colonia without an engineered vessel which I'm not even sure if that's actually doable in the first place. How big a requirement is that lightweight life support to getting this route down to a 2 jump run? I can do it in 3 as it stands but that 1 extra jump starts wearing my patience thin after the 20th run.

Grinding Fed rank in an Imperial Courier, lol

I'm new to Elite dangerous, so just discovered this channel... HOLY CRAP! It's a German Ed Sheeran! :D NOICE. OH and absolutely great video, thanks for the Info!

Thanks for the video.

I just got a hint not sure how good will it be but how heavy are size 3 mlc for exploration conda so you use just 1 controler for different limpets that u will need in case you need mats :D

Great run! I haven't seen an Imperial rank up mission, tho? I check the mission and passenger boards after each run. I have gone from Pathfinder to Pioneer.

thank you great video

This is so helpful, thank you 😊

Good vid as always. You shoud make a vid of how to unlock Oden geiger. o7.

Great content.

So considering coming back to elite, is this still viable? And since i havent even started engineering stuff yet, am i correct that those material rewards are higher grade and can be traded down to get other stuff thus keeping me from doing content i have no interest in?

That reminds me, I have a Beluga that's been at Hauser's Reach for a couple years. I wonder if the battery is dead 🤔

I've been doing this for the last month. I'm allied with all the factions and I've never seen a pay out for more than 2.5 mill for the Sothis run.

I need to get back into Elite. Just need to stay away from the FPS part as i play only in VR.

Wish me a reason come back to the console edition, keep Going ASTRO

I'm playing years of catchup here, but your videos and Yamiks should be stamped Official.

Minimum Jumprange is 30,21Ly

I've been doing this for 3 days so far and I'm almost to Post Captain. It seems like it's taking far longer than I expected. Maybe it's normal speed. I've just noticed that I pick up the missions from Federation Unite and when I go turn it in I also get faction for the Independent contacts and the turn in mission with have their symbol instead of the Federation Symbol when I selected the mission. Is this a bug or normal?

I have a Dedicated Python (engineered), specifically for the Robigo Passenger Grind - Robby. For best results - Solo Play, gankers love Robigo.

Robigo has been my home for a couple years. Hauser’s Reach allows me to do whatever I want from Passenger Missions to swapping ships and Bounty Hunting in the multiple RES. Robigo Mines being faster is negligible.

Hej :) Hey First love your videos. i have the game ED Horison but my menues and starmap do not look like yours... i can not finde any info on this online but could you maby make a video about the difrences of Horison and Odyssey bisides the obviously that you can wlak around... i meen the meny, starmap and other lesser higlighet featurs :) Keep up the good work ! hygge !

want to get back in to the game. is this run still working? or did it get nerfed? thxs

Do saud kruger ships are really better for passengers mission tho?

I experienced my ship getting blown from under me during a level 5 security/risk(?) mission on solo mode but you seem to take no notice. Am I missing something? Apologies for a noob question but the game did warn me at the time my novice rank might mean I was in over my head and now I'm paranoid!

I'm out for couple of years. I only had a couple of engineers. Questions time: Is this still active? I remember I was lazy af, I have a corvette but didn''t enjoyed combat that much. I want money to try new things Is that possible to raise imperial rank even being high rank as federal? Will I loose the federal rank/my corvette? I want to buy a cutter to make huge missions like transportation and etc, but I don't wanna it to take days and days into grinding money. I have a few hours per day to play. I don't wanna waste them.

Sorry stupid question incoming: your GUI looks so different from mine - and much better. Is this an Odyssey thing? I'm still on Horizons...

So yeah for empire rank just passenger missions with a asp explorer as well i think its good for beginners! Thanks for that👌

Well I suggest you should mention, that you need a carrier to go there. The suggestes Python-build isn't capable to reach Robigo on its one.

Ahh the old days of fast hauling “fertilizer” from Robigo… used to be how to get an anaconda in a couple of runs.

Been to Robigo but Hausers Reach never showed up, I searched about it but couldn’t find out why 😔

Can i ask a kinda noob question, but why does your elite dangerous map/UI look so different to mine? is it a setting you can select?

I don't seem to have enough fuel for a round trip in almost identical build. Must be doing something wrong.

nice tutorial, but ive noticed the mat missions run out pretty quickly, i have my reps maxed with both the factions and after 2 runs with 6 mat rewards there arent any mat rewards anymore, just money

Only about 2-3 missions available for materials and 2-3 each

I see empire but what bout feds? Aiming for the corvette

thx for the info :D, too bad G4 raw material is not included ;c

can someone tell me a hp how to finde a system to buy a imperial cutter ?

There is no security in robigo so no1 will scan your ship what will reduce the passenger/criminal satisfy

I don't know what it's like on PC but on Console I get up to as much as 3 interdiction's per station trying to do the Ceos to Sothis loop. It's so annoying af that I just can't do it anymore.

What's your favourite energy drink?

And if I played the game this way, how quickly would I be bored?

Came here looking to hopefully replace my farming spot for 3+ years, I guess not lol...

Robigo mines is the best i got exploration rank elite a ton of credits and i can get grade 5 mats

Next do a video on multi limpit controllers please

Oh god I've done this run so so so many times.....

Why does his UI look so different, is it because of odyssey? Im still on horizon since im not quite sold on odyssey

Why does your station interface and system information view look so different from mine? Is it a dlc feature or something?

My missions dont go over 2mill each for some reason.

Thanks, firing up my Beluga.

I'm just getting shot at when I try to transport illegal passengers... How do I get around that?

I'm trying to engineer a Vette, and I'm sick of farming Imperial Shielding to cross trade. Off to the mines I go. Edit: Back to HGE farming.

After foot frustration, you are heading back to old habits. Flying. 🍕 😁

All the menus and stuff looks different to what I see playing Horizons. Are you playing Odyssey? Im guessing thats the reason shits different looking?

How this work in horizon?

the old robigo slave runs were the best.... you could adjust the difficulty by the amount of missions you took - the more you took the harder it got and if you took enough you had a proper white knuckled ride back to the bubble chased by both the cops and pirates - 1 scan and all the missions were failed - only the best made it back with all the missions maxed out - and managed to avoid the interdictions or avoid the cops and pirates that could drop right in front of you just after you hit the boost button! lol and if you managed to get to your next drop off you had to sneak into stations with silent running and everythig switched off including shields and the engines and glide in with fingers crossed that you lined up with the slot properly..... best gaming experience in ED i everr had... made my 1st 8bn doing them sadly they killed it quite a few years ago when they broke the heat mechanic

👍😊

Why this interface is so different?

How do you avoid being scanned? No heat sink launcher....so silent running? Timing?

The game seems to have changed a bit since the last time I've played (about when mining was nerfed)

The only problem with the Robigo run after your Max ranked federal and empire and your just out there for the cheddar… is that it’s boring as hell. Like mind numbing boring. If you suffer from any sleep deprivation at all, it will catch up to you running Robigo.

Spoken too fast! Take a nap.. But really good information. I need a nap too, i will visit youre Video tomorrow ... 09 Thumbs Up 👍

another robigo video?

Just let me say thank you for you and others youtubers show all this , like as well " HOW TO" in Elite Dangerous ,and make this company NERF the game . But is not only in this game in all games . Thank you again . Keep doing a good work telling HOW TO DO and make conpanys nerf's the games ...

please find another money mission. those passenger missions are trash

Ugh, why does this system have to be so far away from me?

I'm pretty sure fdev will nerf robigo soon...

loops-loops-loops-loops = grind, Grind, GRIND, G.R.I.N.D forever and ever in galaxy 1:1. Becouse There is no god of grinding except "holy" Braben and FDEV - his prophets. :)))))

Disgusting looking at the system map and seeing all those fleet carriers. What happened to this game.. I haven't touched it in years.

Takes too long, just go, for combat for mats and scan ships at compromised nav sats. All too much running about for too long combat is way faster to collect mats in the time you've taken to get to Robigo. Just a rehash to get clicks.
