Taking a break from Cyberpunk 2077 content with a good old Elite Dangerous video! I wanted to showcase how I've made money with my Vulture combat build and I hope it helps new CMDRs whom are looking to pick one up from a space station. Cheers lads!
Yoooo this game is crazy as hell! All up n space and blowing ishhh up so hype ahaa Keep up the great and entertaining work bro!!! Its always dope to mix things up as well! Keep on killin it!!!!
I know You made this a while ago but I love the quality of the videos. Never tried the vulture but went and set it up just like you did and already earning more than I would doing cargo and exploring 😂hope you keep playing 👍
I run 2x rapid fire/oversized Pulses on mine, very good shield damage and still great damage against hulls. Even engineered, the distributor will eventually run empty with 4 pips to WEP, but there is enough downtime during maneuvers to recharge. Besides, no need to worry about ammo supply! About the jitter that comes with pulses, it isn't really an issue as you have the speed to stick to targets easily. NPC large ships, you can just stick on their ass, and even medium ships will struggle to shoot you very much, especially if you add Chaff onto the mix.
A fully A-rated Vulture runs around 20-30 million credits to build in game. It seems like a lot of cheddar but with a kill warrant scanner equipped doing exactly what JustThomanese was doing in this video, he can make 5-10 million credits per hour just off of the bounties. That doesn't include his payouts for the missions he was doing. If he were to go to a hazardous extraction site in the rings of a planet, he can make 10-20 million per hour without picking up the first mission. That FDL (Fer-De-Lance) he killed in the beginning is worth over 1 million credits alone if it is high enough in pilot level and he scans it with a KWS before killing it.
I'm subscribing because I assume you are a pretty new content provider and I like to help new content providers out. I like to see new content because the big channels that provide content get boring for me at times after watching them for over 5 years. I especially like this kind where it helps out newcomers to the game. The only change to your Vulture that I'd recommend would to be to get a kill warrant scanner fitted. KWS will literally double your money output per ship on average and sometimes more. Yes, the Vulture is the best combat ship out of all of the small ships. After you get that dude engineered, it will be a force to be reckoned with against ANY other ship. I like the choice of beam/dakka weapons as it is very efficient and will bring targets down quickly (even NPC condas/cutters). Engineer dakka with autoloader with corrosive shell and overcharge that beam. That is after you overcharge the powerplant of course. The PP hamstrings the Vulture's potential, but it is an absolute beast once you get the PP putting out more power so engineering the PP should be the first component that you get done. Grade 5 dirties and that thing will haul ass and turn like an Eagle. I still have my Vulture from 5 years ago and I absolutely love it.
Thanks for the sub and info on Vulture engineering! I originally had the KWS in mind but the overloaded PP made me retract from adding it onto the build. Unlocking engineers is still something that needs to get done on my end. I only have the Multicannons modified so far
@@Thomanese outstuckinfanding! Work those engineers as you can. Also, a neat money making trick for a new player in a sidewinder is to go to high/medium/low resource extraction sites (not hazardous). Allow the system cops to start hammering on a wanted target and just get a few hits in without drawing aggro. As long as you do some damage, you get credit for the bounty. Easy money
So you turn in your mission at the place that gave it, then go where to get the extra bounty? I'm returning after a 4+yr break and not sure how it's done anymore
Yes bring on the Elite gameplay so I can learn to play it once and for all! How do you get credit though? Is it like the Star Citizen real money or what? 😃
Eyy! You earn credits through missions, selling exploration data and hunting down pirates. The only paid transaction is the ARX currency for purchasing ship cosmetics. I haven't stepped foot in Star Citizen yet because that's a little more complex in gameplay compared to E:D. 😅
There are infinite ways to earn in game credits in ED. Like JustThomanese said, missions, selling exploration data, passenger transport missions, data transport missions, bounty hunting, mining, trading, there's a powerplay feature (that needs updating), you can go xeno hunting (Thargoids) once you get the right ship setups and Guardian components. One Thargoid interceptor kill will pay you 8, 16, 32, or 64 million credits depending on the level of Thargoid it is that you kill. I just kill the lowest level interceptors and get paid 8mil per kill. This game is so fun. I've been playing it since it came out over 5 years ago. If you're new, there are a ton of videos describing ways to make money and guide new players to success
No reason tbh. At the time I thought it was important to A rate those modules, but after putting more hours into the game, D rated works better for power efficiency.
What you can do is look up "RES finder" before taking on missions. Massacre missions will always tell you the system and locations to hunt them in but the only way to find out if there are actual Resource Extraction Sites in said systems is through that RES finder app. Hope that helps o7
@@Thomanese it's been a while since I played so I'll have to have a look. So I'm guessing certain ones, the ones I've been choosing are like a harder version of the ones in your video? Thanks for the reply BTW man 😊❤️
Normally for bounty hunting target missions, you will head back to the system where you picked up the mission from which you can find under the 2nd from the left tab of Navigation. After collecting the mission rewards, look into contacts in the station menu and look for Authority Contacts or Legal Facilities to get paid extra for non-mission related bounties. If the station doesn't have one said facilities, go to EDDB.io to search for them in neighboring systems. Payouts depend on the faction you're claiming the bounties from, so be sure that you claim them within the same system you did your bounty hunting in.
The enemies were novice ranked. They are probably running the lowest rated and smallest shields the ship will use. That FDL didnt even have shields. That's why they went down like that.
From my experience so far, Massacre Missions with payouts under 10 mil credits are doable in solo with an unengineered/ partially engineered ship. The mission you're referring to is similar to a Wing mission I did with a payout of 30 mil and the targets always started with a single Anaconda calling in reinforcements after you start shooting at it. Odds are that the combat rank suggested for said solo massacre mission was higher than Competent/ Expert, and newer CMDRs may overlook that one detail.
@@Thomanese run the solo massecre missions not rhe ones with blue circles i have vulture with two beams slightly engineered the powerplant and distributer and i easily take on missions up yo 30 million threat level 4

I wish I didn't send like 6 million on this thing
It makes me Zero dollars just cost money
317,877 Buy back
I made more money just scanning stuff
I really love the futuristic feel on the space station, it' simplistic and not too overelaborate
And that's just one style out of the many starports in E:D! I wanna showcase them all eventually
There are a few starports built into huge asteroids also. They look wicked
Yoooo this game is crazy as hell! All up n space and blowing ishhh up so hype ahaa Keep up the great and entertaining work bro!!! Its always dope to mix things up as well! Keep on killin it!!!!
Thanks broseph! Just wished there was a Bayonetta bobblehead that I could place on my spaceship dashboard!
I know You made this a while ago but I love the quality of the videos. Never tried the vulture but went and set it up just like you did and already earning more than I would doing cargo and exploring 😂hope you keep playing 👍
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you tried the build! I play it every week so you won't have to worry about that!
I love the sound of the Vulture it roars like a raptor...in space 😂

oooooh you are good at that!!
8:04 incoming text is hilarious
WoW so much funkiness in my body right now yeaahhh i saythebumbeam
I made mine tote x2 short range multis with incendiary. I love my dakka
I think I'd take dual plasma cannons on this, would require engineering to be useable but awesome.
thats a lot of money for the ship and even the upgrades but now I can see why it is a beast

i have some personal advice, if your fighting npcs you only need laser weapons.
Have you tried grade 5 efficient beams with heat venting and grade 5 overcharged distributer with high recharge fires two beams forever
Low-key wanted more B-rolls of the Vulture like your other videos! lmao
Show em again next time bruv!
Yeah I really should've added some for the intro sequence. I'll do that next time!
Great vid.

Could you share your hud colour code? Really like your colour scheme
This is similar to Star Wars squadrons on this one, wow look at all that money you got and I'm looking for to seeing some cyberpunk off you...
🤣🤣🤣🤣 star wars squadrans is so much more crap then elite
what are your hud color settings? they look awesome!
So you turn in your mission at the place that gave it, then go where to get the extra bounty? I'm returning after a 4+yr break and not sure how it's done anymore

Dyslexia is a btich my friend. 🤣 The song choices are preem btw!
Lmao it was bad that day 'cause I was sleepy
they only novice rank tho id like you to show us a build against elites or something
Out of curiousity, why A rated life support and A rated sensors?
No reason tbh. At the time I thought it was important to A rate those modules, but after putting more hours into the game, D rated works better for power efficiency.
I always get pirate missions against Anacondas n shiz. Can't ever get an easy-ish mission like that 😢

How did you know what system to go to collect your bounties?

I hope you don’t mind me asking but,
What modifier do you have on that multi cannon?
2nd tier Overcharged MCs
@@Thomanese thank you!
Do gimballed automatically target systems or do you have to have more precise aiming?
Yes they automatically track the systems that you've highlighted
is this modified?
even with large hard points, 1 beam laser shouldn't take down shields that quick. that was like 3-4 seconds
Only the G1 overcharged multicannon without experimental effects.
The enemies were novice ranked. They are probably running the lowest rated and smallest shields the ship will use. That FDL didnt even have shields. That's why they went down like that.
Are these missions good for solo CMDR? Because then I tried a massacre mission the other pirate ship backs up on the pirate ship that I targetted

You don't have to focus the sub-targets. NPC's not carre about.
Why did the ship I got cost 6 million?
maybe you got it at a station that has bigger prices, usually happens with stations that have a lot of ships and modules
Gaymer 4 sho
there are so many miss steps / mistakes in the first 2 minutes that i had to stop watching... enjoy the game... just wow,
Dude that bada bing got stuck in my head so bad, it’s hectic
