EDMarketConnector VS EDMC-Massacres

The Elite Dangerous Market Connector, and associated plugins, work great in Whisky. It'll open Safari upon initial launch to authenticate. After that, just launch it after the game and it'll connect with no issues whatsoever. It will not work if you launch it before the game.

ED Market Connector - https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector

EDDiscovery or EDMC to update the EDDN and have useful information at your fingertips. I prefer EDDiscovery, hugely useful for explorers. Link your account to keep your info up to date and keep the community up to date to allow nearly all these other tools to work.

(these are downloaded mods) I also use EDHM to change my hud colors cause orange and blue got boring and OD Mission Stacker to efficiently stack massacre missions and ED Market Connector for general info and updating to a lot of other peripheries.

Always run EDMC https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector when you play. It will upload market and other data for your fc as well as any other station/settlement you dock at.

YouTube, Reddit, and the forums are your friend, there are also many the third party sites and applications available to help you to navigate and locate facilities within the game. The most commonly recommended site is Inara and the applications recommended to support it are ED Market Connector or ED Discovery. The applications send market data that Inara use to keep track of the trade markets, they include search functions which help you to find what stations have what services, including what ships and modules are available. Inara can also track your commander data to if you make an account and link it to your Frontier account.

**Robigo Runs - Difficulty 1/5 | Coordination 0/5 | Time 3/5 | Profit 3/5** If you haven't heard of Robigo before, here's your introduction. [Robigo Mines](https://inara.cz/elite/station/42265/) is a station in the Robigo System where you can pick up an abnormal amount of Criminal Passenger missions that all have the same destination of a tourist beacon orbiting [Sothis A5](https://eddb.io/body/12892), 2 jumps away. It's a quick round-trip, there's TONS of guide content on how to build a Robigo Run Python. Overall, nets you about 100mil/hour and is pretty steady. ​ **Thargoid War - Difficulty 4/5 | Coordination 1/5 | Time 3/5 | Profit 3/5** It's never been more profitable to fly dangerous. The Thargoid war is here, and so are the weapons to do it. Anti-Xeno Combat used to be end-game content and required all sorts of engineered weapons and armor, however, with the Thargoid War and the new Enhanced AX Multicanon, killing bugs has never been easier. Engineering is still recommended but is no longer a requirement for entry. Gimbaled and Turreted weapons used to be ineffective against Thargoids, however, the recently Enhanced Xeno Scanner, available at any Sirus Megaship or at JMo, allows you to scan Thargoid interceptors within 2km and cycle through their subsystems to target their pedals. Furthermore, Sirus has also manufactured new large (class 3) mount Enhanced AX Multi-cannons that come in both gimbaled and turreted configurations, so even if you suck at flying, you can still remain combat effective. Payouts per scout starts at 65k, a Cyclops is 6mil, a Hydra is 50mil, plus combat zones will payout for certain thresholds like "Eliminate thargoid presence". It's not uncommon to have between 100Mil and 300Mil after an hour of combat. Lots of CMDR's have gotten very rich in the war; it's probably one of the most engaging ways to make money. Head over to the AXI Discord ([https://discord.gg/antixenoinitiative\](https://discord.gg/antixenoinitiative)) and go to the #Defense-Targets channel, and fly to that system in Open and visit a Station or Surface port under attack (As indicated by a skull and bones icon). These Targets often change daily or weekly depending on player progression. You can dock and repair/restock at these stations under attack and if you die, you will spawn there, making it quick and painless to brute-force your way into learning how to kill Thargoids. You can even pick up anti-xeno missions and get paid even more to take out scouts & interceptors. Flying in Open in Prioritized #Defense-Target systems will increase your chances of taking on Thargoids with other CMDRS, and teaming up on an interceptor will ensure everyone gets a payout. Even if you're new to AX combat, you can probably take on a hydra with a group of CMDR's in open. If you feel spicy enough, you can join the AXI private group for more CMDR's dedicated toward the war effort, more info in AXI Discord. More info including combat and ship build guides can be found on their website ([https://antixenoinitiative.com/\](https://antixenoinitiative.com/)) ​ **Massacre Mission Stacking - Difficulty 3/5 | Coordination 4/5 | Time 3/5 | Profit 2/5** Massacre Mission Stacking involves finding a faction that is disliked by multiple factions, and picking up massacre missions against them to effectively get paid twice for killing one ship. It's kind of tricky to pull off because you need to pick up massacre missions from multiple factions in order for them to stack as massacre missions from a single faction do not stack. The easiest way to do that is to the [PVE Missions tool](https://edtools.cc/pve) to find potential systems that will maximize the potential number of massacre missions. Note that War states typically do not generate as many Massacre missions and are usually between two factions, so finding multiple factions to stack will be difficult. You can also get [plugins](https://github.com/CMDR-WDX/EDMC-Massacres) for [EDMC](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector#readme) that will help you keep track of your massacre missions. Pick up all massacre missions from all stations in the system targeting a single faction, and head to the listed Target system. you can typically find your Mission target at Resource Extraction Zones and get support from the System Authorities to speed things up. ​ **ExoBio, So Hot Right Now - Difficulty 1/5 | Coordination 0/5 | Time 5/5 | Profit 5/5** Due to the result of a bunch of previous community goals events and payout updates from FDev, Biological Exploration data is paying out like Gangbusters. All that on-foot content from Odyssey finally paying off. you can even ignore system and surface scans altogether if you know what sites to go to. Basically, all you need to do is fly into a system, identify a planet with biological sites, fly down and scan those sites, and that's it. Repeat this process a few dozen times and you've made a pretty penny; go into the black for a couple weeks and you can come back with enough exobio data to buy your FC outright. Just make sure you're not flying in open with all that data when returning to the bubble; gankers can smell it on exploration ships.

EDMC Massacre Stacker Tracker Plugin https://github.com/CMDR-WDX/EDMC-Massacres

Strongly recommend CMDR WDX's massacre mission stacking plugin for EDMC https://github.com/CMDR-WDX/EDMC-Massacres it tracks what factions you have missions from and how many total kills needed you have stacked for each along with total payout at the bottom.

Plus you can add plugins to it such as CMDR WDX's excellent massacre mission stacking plugin https://github.com/CMDR-WDX/EDMC-Massacres

Maybe a little off topic.. But if you are on PC and run EDMC this plugin could be useful for setting up stacks: https://github.com/CMDR-WDX/EDMC-Massacres/tree/master
