  • I'll keep it short and to the point.
How to make easy unlimited cash in game with Starliner Genesis.

Tickets will be majority NPC (as players would be wildly unsustainable) and most competition will be NPC flown passenger liners.

So the game currency is generated from the system as NPC's buy spots aboard your ship depending on availability, class etc etc
BING BING BING WE HAVE A WINNER

Pick a nice big populated planet. Stick down your Starliner demanding absurd cash per seat on a very common route which passes through low security space.

Meanwhile have the TEST fleet sit on the same low security NPC route highway blasting every liner passing on that route into oblivion. Watch as the server automatically sees you as the only option. And we've seen that's how it works. No matter the price you set passengers will flood in. Ship paid off on first trip prices.

Supply and demand motherfuckers.
Repeat until rich/exploit is patched


Additional notes:-
Use energy based weapons and starfarers both to refuel selves and the liner(s)
Unlimited free beer, charge $90,000 for toilet privileges
Sell destroyed NPC liners as reclaimer scrap
If there's mining in the sector might as well mine and use the org operation as passive protection
Use stolen/claimed ships, ain't no one gunna trace us!



END GOAL:-

1) Generate enough wealth to maintain a sustained orbital attack on Terra Prime
2) Use conquer mechanic to claim Terra Prime for Lord Montoya
3) Rename it Testie Prime
4) Use TEST fleet to counter gravitational orbit and cause planet to drift into the sun
5) $$$$$$$$$$$????
PROFIT.

Same should go for any in-game business opportunity. Processing fuel? Blow up all the other Starfarers. Moving cargo? Pop as many Hulls, MMs, and Tauruses as you can.

This could seriously become the TEST business model. We have an outrider Org of ship thieves that bully markets in our favor while TEST itself keeps its nose clean.

Eh with that you have far more players stepping up to the plate asking for missions on a much wider uncontrollable scale. Which means their orgs will be involved and we'll have to share a slice of the pie. AND I DONT FUCKING SHARE FOOD.

Passenger travel means dinner comes to us and it's far less monitored with little money headroom for escort fighters. The latest post explained how unbelievably competitive it is which means controlling the market through bottle neck would be dead easy with little interference.

Finding exploits was the funnest part of any game

Did someone ask for TEST pirates...
I'm sure TEST Logistics has already worked us into the overall business model :)

I tentatively support this, since I already want to try blowing up an NPC Starliner ASAP in the PU beta.

I can tell you right now my goal is to run amok in a military construction yard. Just shooting everything and causing general chaos. Want to see the effects of a single fighter can do to a construction yard.

Bolded the part in your quote. We do have some ideas on how to help insulate TEST proper from illegal activities, and one of those is via a side org that's part of the "TEST Fleet" alliance structure. CIG said there would be the ability to form alliances between organizations, and have formal management structures in place. So a little bit like the alliances in EVE (except not as shitty).

TEST Squadron would be the legal side of things, while TEST Black Flag would be the outlaw org - and it isn't limited to just ship theft. Piracy, mercenaries, etc are also part of that big picture. I know Montoya picked up a second org with an alt for that kind of thing.
