Road to riches 3.3 | Fast Exploration Rank | New player friendly [Elite: Dangerous] 

skipping long distance planets that nets you lots of cr is not a good idea, that's the whole point of doing the road to riches, its not a race, like I said, if you want the cr, put in some time, you'll be glad that you did.

Yep, it's because actually flying up to the planet also makes it become 'explored' just as it would in the FSS, and since you have to fly up to the planets in order to map them anyway, there really is no point in using the FSS on Road To Riches :)

@@mikkdc well unless its 1000ls away

But you would not receive bonus for mapping.

Tinuraviel I may do this

The same site that has the R2R tool also has one for finding CNBs, as well as RESs. edtools.cc/res.php

you just need detailed surface scanner and shoot probes from orbit

No but to do if you want to map then. And most of the credits are made from the mapping.

Go into graphics and switch the window from full screen to borderless.

It also only works on PC. Kinda a bummer if you’re a console commander

Good luck! It's full of griefers that just love to blow you up for a rebuy.

You do get money from scanning with the FSS, but oyu get the same scan when you fly to the planet while having it targeted. so there is no reason to wast time FSS scanning it. unless the planet dose not show up in you system map.

@@DowntoEarthAstronomy Thanks for your answer !

The efficiency bonus for mapping is worth going for. Not sure how much you get for a full system scan, but it's not worth the time. I don't know of any infograph for the new system.

That's the point. Just map it again you will get some good credits for it

anywhere is fine

I would suggest buying a Eagle as soon as possible, it's just about a strait upgrade. but since your starter ship is free, don't sell it, keep it as a back up just in case.

if you set high dip like 1500/4000 it's easier

get access to shinrarta dezhra

Antony Murray you can just honk and jump to the next system if you want. You’ll get a lower pay (as you mentioned) but it’s still enjoyable.

do that and get less cr but put in the time and fully scan and use probes on elw, tww, ww and aw and get hight cr, I did my first road to riches and my Exploration rank went up from Aimless to Pioneer, I put in the time and scaned all the elw, tww and aw, even hwc, that was before the do it by shooting probes.

Three weeks late, but you have to map your keys for the dss in settings. Look for something like “mouse x axis” and “mouse y axis” and switch them both on.

He mentioned to just get the best scoop you can afford. Also mentioned that starters won't have access to guardian Fsd booster and that it is optional.

It comes with every ship by default. Access it with the semicolon key while in supercruise. Also it needs discovery scanner to fire up.

You get more money.

@@henrywiltcher wow, a one year comment. Thanks, but I figured that out a while ago.

@@zakurn1086 it could benefit others reading the comment section, especially with all the new players joining from the Epic Store giveaway.

I completely agree with you 100% They will get bored and just turn into the growing list of griefers that ruin the E.D community.

Yep I completely agree. I did just this albeit I did it in Beta where grinding was even worse. Anyway, took me some serious memory wiping and willpower to push me into making my own goals again. Took almost a year to get back in and enjoy the game for what it is. And to be honest if someone wants something super easy and repeatable for money just do planetary scan missions. Good reward, they're quite fun and sometimes take you by surprise. It actually feels like you're doing something between A and B with those missions instead of listening to "Friendship Drive Charging" 30 times to then sell your cargo or whatnot. I still feel they need to flesh out missions so people do them because of the content of the mission, not the reward which should just be the bonus. I've started to rant...oops lol

@@lullylew9083 totally agree.. more work needs to be done on the content of missions and cargo missions especially. money has never been a problem in elite.. everything you do gives you money.. but not everything you do is fun. they have already vastly improved exploration and mining.. id like to see some improvements to basic mission types like cargo and data and combat in general.

chilly22 yeah i see what your saying, I’m not a noob at this game I’ve been playing for over 2 years, and I’ve never had anything higher than an vulture, I just can’t make money, so finally I’m gonna commit to the road to riches lol I just can’t stand it anymore

Hi. First. thanks for the constructive comment. You need to remember that by the time i post a video about something it at already all over reddit and the forums. So Fdev most likely already know about it way before i post about it. And further more do you really believe that having a community who goes out of their way to hind think from the developers gives you a better game in the long run? in my mind that's how you get a broken game. i would also like to remind you that over the last month i have covered - Passenger missions in Robigo - Still working - Hunting low temp diamonds - Still working - Mining voild opals - Still working - I first covered R2R at the end of November last year (and this video is 3 weeks old) - Still working So saying that thing get nerfed every time i cover it simply nor true. Last thing i want to mention, is that this is not my job. I have a full time job next to RU-vid, and i don't take any personal salary from the money made from RU-vid. Everything is used to upgrade equipment. So i do RU-vid because i like it and i think it's fun. Once again thank for keeping this constructive :-) Fly safe

Down to Earth Astronomy. Hello again, yes I don’t want to harm your fun, and yes of course the devs look everywhere for how to improve their game. But, it is substantially easier to watch 10-15 min of your videos, which are very clear and easy to follow, than to sift through tonnes of reddit postes. FDev are smart and lazy it would seem so I’m betting they put more faith in you than on Reddit. Obviously they aren’t going to nerf everything you talk about they are trying to create a balanced experience but more than a couple times it has been shown that what you say matters to them. This make you someone who needs to be responsible about the content you put out. If you feel that something is op maybe just get some advice from other players first or something along those line. If we could all work together to get this game into shape that is as hard as it is now. The best part of this game is the immersion, the ‘knowing how to fly a spaceship and micromanage it’s functions and internals. The worst part is the grind, and oh boy is it a grind. It shouldn’t have paytowin mechanics with its own in game economy. (Power play) and even after weeks of play players can’t even unlock 1 engineer. Longevity is a good thing but not when it is because you have to grind. Please think of this when you write your vids. I want to be able to sub and follow. You have a great presentation and I could definitely end up buying a chair because of you ;)

You are absolutely right that the level of grind in this game over the top, and I sometimes thing Fdev confuses grind for longevity. It can be but only to a certain degree, at some point the grind wall becomes too tall and people just quit. However I would argue that the grind only seems so overwhelming because many people don’t know what the most optimal methods are. I tried to underline that point about half a year ago when I showed that you can go from a sidewinder to an anaconda with engineered FSD and a guardian FSD booster in less than 24 hours. That is the main point of what I try to do on this channel. Find the optimal way to complete certain task and then share it with everyone, to try and break down that grind wall. Sometime when I do that Fdev decide that some tasks have become too easy and they rebuild the wall even higher than before. Now I don’t think you can blame me as the sole reason for a nerf, but I will admit that I might have affected it once or twice. Trust me it is not my intention to get anything nerfed, but there is a very fine line between when Fdev thinks is a fine and what is not, and I’m constantly trying to walk that line. So can I assure you that I will not try to get things nerfed, but again I also want to show the best way to complete progress in the game. :-)

Have you watched anyone else covering ED with videos on RU-vid? There are several others posting the same info as D2EA. Obsidian Ant and Vindicator Jones for example. So you putting the blame on D2EA for being the reason of getting things nerfed is ridiculous. I'm new to this game and I'm enjoying it. And that is because of the excellent tutorials these guys put out. The base game tutorials don't do a well enough job to teach new players. So to understand how things work so we don't quit in frustration is to watch these guys. Inappreciate what all of them do and don't think it hurts the game in any way. I'm almost 200 hours into it and I'm just getting to engineering. I'm taking my time by exploring, mining, trading, etc. Enjoying the game for what it is and offers. I don't think I would be enjoying it as much if i didn't have these videos to learn from.
