Sorta new, looking for advice.

[Fetch]

So, I played some Disco a year or so back, stuck around for a little while before other things ate up my time. I'm looking to get back into playing a bit. But, things have changed a bit since I last played: namely, some of the good ways for a starting player to earn credits don't work so well anymore. Mining silver and selling on Manhattan, neh. Cargo-farming certain NPCs and selling on certain bases, not so much (NPCs seem to spawn pretty rarely, and I haven't seen one with worthwhile cargo).

So, with such changes, can anyone suggest a manner in which a new character could go about gathering up some funds, at least to the point to afford a good freighter? Once in a good freighter I can take care of things from there, it's just getting that first few million without horrible, horrible grinding seems more difficult than it used to be.

Thanks.
