How to make easy money in Elite Dangerous (Odyssey Only), the easiest way to become a billionaire. Obviously if you have only been playing for few hours and have only a handful of million then its not for you.

Team work is the only way to make decent money. So join the anti-zeno initiative to find out where the active spire site is, be sure to join their private server too.

Spire Etiquette: Do not fire upon Orthus until the leader and other team members fire, as random shutdowns ruin it for everyone. Some folk will fire lasers near the Orthus to mark it out for attack, this is not a signal to attack but to prepare for attack. Its best to only hit inbounds until you have enough firepower for outbounds. Do attack scouts at will, Cyclops too, though they will probably fire on you first, but remember that Cyclops fire back and punish you if you're not ready for it. Try not to fly too close to outbound orthus as they too will fire shutdown. Call out targets on discord or in game chat, give a direction from the centre of the spire and mark as inbound (ib) or outbound (ob), ie "360 ib" for north inbound, "230 ob" for southwest outbound, or state landmarks - "4 main spire ob" is an unpopular one. If the spire is plagued by many scouts then focus on them before engaging the next target, or stop hitting so many outbounds. Communicate :)

Shields are useful for higher G planets and in instances with disorganised commanders with lots of random shutdowns, the anaconda is mostly fine shieldless though. You rely more on caustic sinks when shielded though as silent running/burn off will kill your shield anyway, use biweaves with fast charge to help mitigate this.

Guardian weapons: mod-shards and mod-plasmas are best, but they will be destroyed at random from shutdowns, so bring at least 2 AFMUs and only repair to 3-5% each time to save on repair ammo.

**Caustic Sink Module is now unlocked at rescue ship so use a couple of these on your build, engineer their ammo if possible**

**correction you will gain bonds not bounties, these can be doubled with Arisa Lavigny-Duvel or Zachary Hudson power play**

Anaconda is the best ship: most firepower - swap out a hull reinforcement for a 6C biweave (fast charge) for high G spires or hard instances (shutdown), corrosion cargo rack is only for collecting meta alloy & other Thargoid droppings, replace with another AFMU if not needed. Also, swap the AXMCs for a mod-shard gib build (need more heat sinks though). Here’s the build:

Or you could use a Viper Mk4 for ~9.5M, one chap was lasting quite a long time in a Sidewinder. A sidewinder build would cost around 1.65M
