Moon
- don't collect any of the crates yet, as it's better to collect them after you start the bounty hunter mission
- go upstairs and talk to Beth Brasky. Ask her "I'm looking to make some money", then "Sounds good! I'm ready!"
Bounty hunter mission Sally Barris
- on this mission try to collect crates first if you can. There are some enemies running around. If you think enemies will surround you, kill them. If you kill 5 of them, the boss will spawn. Try to kill Sally Barris last. Don't worry if you don't collect everything in this mission
Moon (after the mission)
- after the mission, go to Beth Brasky and collect 2000$ from her
- you can now collect all the crates lying around
- don't sell Shara Pods if you find some! You will need 20 of them in an upcoming mission on Earth. If they are too expensive for you (green marked price), buy it on Convoy or Earth
- talk to all traders on the station. When you do this, you will automatically add them to "contacts" by default, so you can switch between them in the contacts menu
- ask Greeter Bot: "Do you have any souvenirs from the Moon?", he will give you a "Moon Postcard". Respond with saying "Hey, thanks" as you will need it for an upcoming mission
- ask the Ship Mechanic to "upgrade cargo slots“. If they are too expensive (marked as green price) don't do this yet, but if they are cheap (red price) buy them
- talk to Routhe Asaad near the stairs, he’ll ask you to deliver 10 Arpulators to Sarah Linkha. Take them (you'll need some space in your inventory for this!)
- travel to convoy
Convoy
- ask Greeter Bot: "Do you have any souvenirs from Convoy?", he will give you a "Convoy Postcard". Respond with saying "Hey, thanks" as you will need it for an upcoming mission
- collect all the crates lying around
- sell profitable items, and keep cheap items for your next destination, keep Shara Pods for the next mission (buy some if they are cheap, you need 20 for when you are on Earth)
- travel to Earth
Earth
- ask Greeter Bot: "Do you have any souvenirs from Earth?", he will give you a "Earth Postcard". Respond with saying "Hey, thanks."
- go to Peter Mikhail (the guy with robot legs). He is located on the first floor in a small room. Give him all the postcards gathered from the Moon, Convoy and Earth. You will receive 5 Cargo Slots as a reward from him
- find Sarah Linkha (she is located on the second floor), and give her the 10 Arpulators you got from Routhe Asaad. She will reward you with 5 Cargo Slots
- find Dan Howle (Indian/Iranian looking guy). He is located on the second floor behind the corner. Give him 20 Shara Pods, and he will give you 2 Silver bars as a reward. He will suggest you visit Roger Leiss on the Moon
- don't collect anything yet, sell useless goods (as much as you can) to clear up your inventory
- go to the bar, ask Bartender: "I'm looking for some action."
Bounty hunter mission Alex Harbin
- on the mission try to collect crates first if you can. There are some enemies running around. If you think enemies will surround you, kill them. If you kill 3 of them, the boss will spawn. Try to kill Alex Harbin last. Don't worry if you don't collect everything in this mission, you’ll have more opportunities.
Earth (after the mission)
- you will need 5 Ketralite for the Moon mission, so if it's too expensive at the moment, wait and buy it on the Moon later. If it's cheap, then just buy it now
- collect all crates in the area, and sell profitable items
- on your space map, if you travel it will alert you to some "Breaking News". For example "Platin on moon is very expensive now or soldiers found drugs on Convoy". Use the news alerts to buy things before you fly to a location, because you can make a big profit selling it when you arrive
- ask the Ship Mechanic to "upgrade cargo slots“. If they are too expensive (marked as green price) don't do this yet, but if they are cheap (red price) buy them
- travel to Moon
Moon
- go upstairs and give the 5 Ketralite to Roger Leiss, and he will give you 5 Cargo Slots. He will also suggest you go visit Michelle Sander on Convoy
- collect all crates in the area, and sell profitable items
- travel to Convoy
Convoy
- don't collect anything yet
- it is best if you have already upgraded your Cargo Slots to max (150 slots). If you have not, that's no problem, but it would be easier to collect more from crates on future missions
- it is also good if you go on next mission with as empty an inventory as possible
- go down into the Cargo Room and talk to Michelle Sander
- she will ask you to kill Boel Krueger. Tell her: "Why should I fight for you?", then "I will think about it", then talk to her again and say "Yeah, I'll take him out!"
Bounty hunter mission Boel Krueger
- accept the mission, but don't kill him. Don't touch him, but don't let him escape!
- instead, concentrate on collecting crates and killing normal enemies
- collect everything in the area if you can, but it's not a "must"
- after you have collected all the crates, press "escape" → "abort mission" → "yes".
Convoy (after the mission)
- collect all crates in the area, and sell profitable items.
- travel to Earth
Earth
- collect all crates in the area, and sell everything
- go to Bartender in the bar, and he will tell you Boel Kruger is on Earth right now. Respond with: "Let's go right now."
- don't kill Boel Krueger! Collect crates, kill goons only if they become too dangerous, but normally they are not worth your time (100-200$ each enemy)
- after you have collected all the crates, press "escape" → "abort mission" → "yes"
- search for crates in the area, and sell everything
- go to Bartender in bar, and accept the bounty mission again
- don't kill Boel Kruger, and collect crates, kill enemies if necessary
- after you have collected all the crates, press "escape" → "abort mission" → "yes"
- after each mission you receive a slightly higher cash bonus each time. It is time consuming, but it won't take forever
- repeat this process until you get $5.000.000 or more. You can also sell your Cargo Slots in the end if needed
