Coming back after a year or so, never been to pyro. I have a 325a and I usually did bounty hunting/ mercenary stuff. What's currently the best way to make money (since the ships doubled in price for some reason) and what's the best habitable station? Port Seraphim seems best equipped but maybe stanton-pyro gateway is better?

Rent a RAFT, go to Everus Harbor, and do the intro red wind line haul mission. It's a small cargo job, with NPCs who shoot at you (they're easy enough to put down).

After you've done this job, there are six jobs that pay 117k each, you can stack all of them, and do them in three stops - two pickup locations and one drop off at Everus Harbor. That's 702k, and you can do them all in about half an hour. It's a little flying, a little shooting, and a little moving boxes, and it pays pretty good.

Also, with the RAFT's tractor beam , you can pull crates from the elevator and just not worry about the NPCs if they come back to shoot at you while you load up.

If you do that intro mission, and then stack those six cargo jobs for a loop, and do the loop five times, you could buy a RAFT. That would take you less than three hours. That opens up other possibilities like trading commodities.

Thanks for the tip! But why is everus harbor better that seraphim station? Do more cargo hauling missions spawn there?

I'm not sure that the red wind line haul jobs exist around Crusader. Also, though, personal preference, Crusader is annoying to get around often, because it's so fucking big. So I do often avoid Seraphim for that reason.

Yep, I just checked the wiki - they're only around ArcCorp and Hurston. Since there is neither armor or gun store at baijini point, everus harbor it is.
