I'd go this way, testing with a friend who just started:
Step 1:
- (Assuming you have a clan or someone who helps with credits)
- Take all cpus on auction
- do the first missions
- put the bot on x-2 x-3 to achieve level 12 (or 13)
- leave the bot on 5-3
- Now farm palladium, focus on zeta gate
Step 2:
- Spam zeta gates
- aim to: 10 havocs (you'll receive logfiles/booty keys)
- use booty keys when you want, so you will find items to craft iris drones
- once done with zeta (10 havocs, 24 pilot or what do you prefer) go with Kappa or epsilon gates
^I believe that's the "fast&easy" way to get atleast fe.
the rest is your chose
any mistake i've made, feel free to tell me, i'm not a master in the game, that's how i did for my account 2 years ago :rolleyes:
