Or steal everything that isn't nailed down just like every Bethesda game.

Avoid ever needing to gamble entering scanned space with contraband: Sell the contraband at the Traders Association at the Den in the Wolf System

You only get like 1-2k for selling taken ship of the registration cost. It’ll cover repairs on your ship not much else

Or glitch through an unopenable door on a roof top in new atlantis, fall through the bottom of the map, run over to the Ship dude, steal 72,000, wait on venus for 24 hrs, rinse and repeat until millionaire.

Aight here's the REAL way to make big money right off of spawn. Mesh underneath the ship seller dude in the UC city and loot the box underneath him, as for some reason THAT'S how all the vendors in this game hold credits and shop inventory. Wait somewhere for 24 hours for the shop reset, and do it all again. You can also use this to buy/customise ships for free, as any money you give him will also end up in the box, and you'll just loot it back. Screw planet surveys, screw contraband and screw selling ships. Pirates don't play fair anyway.

I just built outposts in some planets, I sold those extra resources and I have a lot of money now.

These are great options. Another good option that isn't cheating or mods is to create 2 outposts extracting Iron and Aluminum in the Bessel Piazzi(Lv.10) star system. On moon Bessel III-b is the one. 100k+ of each. And make adaptive frames. 10% xp bonus from at least 1hr sleep, a 2% xp bonus from alien tea or certain terrabrew coffes and food. And a more difficult Xp bonus is having MAX companionship with a character... sleep and that's an addictional 15% xp. to get right before you make the adaptive frames at your industrial crafting bench. Happy travels! 💪🏽🦄

Bruh, those are the exact traits I chose 😂. My background is the scoundrel. I sorta wish I got the gangster for the shotgun certification but no biggie.

Or create a Amp drug empire to fund your ship building addiction

Hop through walls and take vendors credits

Nah just go under the map and get 75000 everytime lol

for those whom want to go down the smuggling route there are 2 places i know of that have good trade vendors that will take contraband and you dont get scanned one is fen station in the wolf system just to the upper right of alpha centauri and then theres the red mile in the porrima system

Contraband has really proven to be not worth the effort, in my experience. Even with signal scramblers to raise chance of evading scan to near 80%, you will still get caught sometimes, earning a bounty or fees, or reloading your save, wasting time. And the worst part is, even if you manage to stockpile hundreds of thousands of credits worth of high value loot, actually converting it to cash is even MORE hassle. You can sell maybe 3 items at any vendor before they run out of money. Then you either have to wait on a bench for a few days or travel to another location to sell 2 or 3 more. OR ... you just add a couple thousand credits worth of cargo capacity to your ship, grab ANYTHING worth more than 1K credits per Kilo of weight, and earn just as much without the hastle. The 1+k credit value rule per Kilo of weight is essential. Saves you from hauling low tier heavy armor or helmets and the like not worth the cargo space. 13 kilos of Meds and some decorations are worth more in the end than that 5,750 credit, 13 Kilo suit of armor.

On contraband: The Red Mile on Porrima III will buy it AND doesnt have any faction personnel. The Den is filled with UC who will shoot you if you're on their bad side.

I have never struggled for money in Bethesda games. Steal anything you can, kill and loot enemies or whatever you want and sell everything you don’t need. I’ve been playing Starfield for a day now and nearly have 200K

This is gonna help me so much thank you!😭🔥

Contraband doesn’t pay that well, they be worth 20k and you only get 1500-2000 you can pick up gun and sell them for that with out the risk

Just play the game. It throws credits at you like they’re nothing. Sadly, it usually all gets eaten by ship building. There’s a bid here that describes building the best starter base for 950 credits. Do that.

There is a vendor in ebbside in the city of neon that buys food craft items at a high price. I believe it's called off or other world tastes. Or you can just glitch through the door by jump blocking with a melee weapon by the security station at the new Atlantis starport and looting the vendors chest like in Skyrim. Is it cheating if it's in the game? Maybe/maybe not. Just saying 72000 creds is a lot to turn down

Go to Red Mile and get the shielded Cargo

Selling other ships also puts all that ship's miscellaneous items into your inventory. I'm not sure if that's a glitch on my game, but that's what happens to me.

If you’re dealing with contraband take it to The Den in Wolf system, no system patrols with a trade authority vendor!

Sell contraband in wolf system, no scans, has trade authority in the den station.

Laughs in Atlantis chest

Or do the money glitch for a chest that gives 160k every few minutes at the stroud eklund star station

I will one day walk to the Bethesda company building and looting everything i hope i dont get introuble

There is only one ship that can get away from contraband is the mantis ship. Pirates are scared when you fly it.

I don't want to do things fast, I want to take my time and enjoy the game. People are so quick to want to rush things.

Just do missions and sell off loot… made 1.5 mil in my play through so far off that and a few faction quest lines

It's called the title menu.

I have a bunch of those data cards actually

Do main missions to make 13k plus. Just play the game you’ll make more than enough

Selling contraband doesn’t appear to be really profitable in Starfields current release. Contraband items only sell for between 1500 and 3000 credits each, which really isn’t all that much for the effort you go through to obtain them.

“Do these completely obvious gameplay loops designed by the developers to act as money sources to get money at a rate intended by the developers to be fair and balanced! WOW!” Seriously…

A true Bethesda player will come up with ways to get credits faster like a methhead who’s ran dry

Or you can find a window, jump through it and bam it’s skyrim all over again 😂😂😂😂😂

or just farm credit its the fastest way till now

Selling ships isnt a good way to make money

STARFEILD release on the 6th

I can steal other ships?

Nice

Commerce skill is basically useless don't waste a point

just go under the map and steal from the ship vendor, easy 72k.

Bro surveying planets is not fast.

1. refund

Glitch under the map and steal out of the vendor chests

Contraband is GARRRRRBAGE in this game wym big bucks lol

I made 15 million credits in five easy steps.

Women ☕️

I literally lost brain cells from watching this clip... 😂😂😂what useless information.... i couodve learned this from wikigames but you literally wasted your breath and time reading the whole page amd putting it in a minute video

Not taking advice from an inferior species.😤

We need the dislike counter back....

Never seen a button to sell a ship..

I mean this definitely isn’t fast but sure is a generic way of getting credits ya
