I'm looking for the quickest, not best way to make EC. I have been runnign farming mission, which doesn't make much a day. I hve tried Ker'rat, and it dosen't get me anytthing worth anything.

I need a way to get EC quickly, desperatly.

    Aside from cashing in on stuff you pick up from STF's, working the exchange, and Tour of the Galaxy, there isn't much you can do other than get a job in the red light district on Drozana Station.

    The quickest way to make energy credits? Regardless of related costs? Buy master keys and sell them for energy credits.

    Here we go again... :)

    The Tour the Galaxy event, when it's active, can make you around a million in an hour. The amount you make depends on what ship you have, and what Doffs are slotted, and what Gear is being used, etc. IE, the more times you can do the event in the hour time limit the more EC you can make.

    The items you get from drops from various Missions can be sold on the Exchange. The value can be anywhere from 1k to 1 million EC depending on the item.

    Doffs you earn can be sold on the Exchange. They can make anywhere from 1k to 100k, depending on the Doff.

    Master Keys can be sold on the Exchange. They can make you around 1.4 million per Key.

    Getting a great Lockbox drop, like a ship, can be sold on the Exchange for 100k to 500 million EC.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    If you are on Tribble you could go to DS9, find the guy outside the MACCO area and buy as many XIII space shields as you can carry and then sell them and Repeat.

    Have to agree with dixonium last time I checked the master keys were going for 1.3 million EC a pop.

    i'm now powering the strange alien artifacts before i sell them

    6 FEDs doing SCI + EXPL missions all the time for free rare particles
    4 KDFs doing the contraband thing to keep the dil flowing
    and 10 powered artifacts atm = 13+ mil EC 2x per week

    of course that requires a pipeline of 10 characters, but can be done in one hour / 4 hour wait / click click / 4 hour wait and sold.

    btw. i did the math a few weeks back (market could have shifted in the meantime, don't know), selling Contraband on the exchange pretty much gives the same EC as turning Contraband into Dil to Zen to Master Keys and back to EC.

    and do us all a favor, try not to undercut the market by too much

    Multiple characters doing the mining and getting rare particle traces which always sell quickly on the exchange is my personal low effort way of doing it.

    You gotta mail them to your designated millionaire playboy toon.

    account bank is where you keep the EC, grab it as needed, no char runs around with more than 200k EC in the pocket

    Making EC in game is just like making money in real life, you have to use your head. Keep your eyes open and ears trained to the ground.

    I made over 30 million EC today just in a few hours because of a shift in the game.

    If you have any particle traces or anything of value that is stackable PM me and let me know what you have and maybe I can put some EC in your pocket fast.
