The Universe Race event, or whatever it's called, is a great way to make money -- I've heard of people equipping Borg engines and zipping around multiple times. You earn 325k (I think?) for each successful run, and with the Borg engines you should be able to easily get around twice, maybe three times if you're good.
(EDIT: Tour the Universe event! Thanks, Thoroon.)
Some people buy up tons of Keys on the C-Store and sell them on the Exchange for tons of EC, but not everybody has a lot of extra money to throw at the game, or would really want to if they did.
I personally make almost all my EC just from selling junk that drops in STFs. It's not exactly rapid cash gain, but if you're lucky and score a bunch of ship equipment, you can make over 100k after a 15 minute space STF.
I'm sure someone will poke in here with other, better ways... but those are the ones I know of.
a history of sto pvp: 2010 - 2011
a history of sto pvp: 2012 - 2013
1. Tour the Universe - Hourlong Event, look up Calendar - Starts at Earth Spacedock/First City
Nets you 350.000 EC per Run, you can manage to do it 2-4 times in one hour.
It's merely just flying around, nothing more. See STOwiki: Federation tour example.
2. Buy unreplicateable Material for Dilithium - Memory Alpha:
Either buy the common ones (way more profit, but takes more time to sell) or Uncommons (sell instantly during Crafting Event).
8.000 Dilithium net you around 500.000EC with Uncommons, 1.500.000EC with Commons.
3. Do Fleetactions:
Nice place to get stuff to sell (sometimes worthwhile for Exchange). Flying around, destroying ships, getting to know "nice" people.
4. Buy Items on C-Store:
Some Items are quite valuable, for example Bridge Officers.
Usually Number 2 is more profitable though.
5. Exploration:
Do Explorations, scan for unidentified objects in any cluster/nebula you prefer.
Sell rare samples on Exchange or use them for crafting.
Selling directly is easier, crafting requires time and knowledge of the market.
Best, most profitable way: Play the Exchange AKA feel the Ferengi in you
Rather dull way to make EC, but very profitable if you know the market.
It's all based on buying stuff and resell it for larger profit. Even small margins help. Timeinvestment is very low longterm. You need some EC and Time to start.
There are no certain ways though, you really need to check and invest some time at first for items which sell quick. If you know the rules, you spend less then 20 minutes per day for very large profits. (Be a Ferengi)
A Hint for start ups: Mystey Lockboxes
Buy cheap (for 10.000 up to 12.000 EC each) during night/day, sell for 18.000 EC and more in the evening.
Do this 40 times (takes less than 5 minutes), easy 250.000 EC and more.
(Note: there is no guarantee it always works this way)
There are many many ways to play the exchange, but a true Ferengi doesn't tell
I'll add that doffing can reward you if you're dedicated to it. The Childrens Toys chain has a couple items of value, the first part grants a Strange Alien Artifact which sells for 650-800k depending on how the market is. The second part of the chain uses the Strange Alien Artifact along with 1 particle trace of each kind to make a Powered Alien Artifact which sells for 1-1.2mil ec. Then the third part which needs good doffs to have a chance at converting the Powered Alien Artifact into a random MK XII console, depending on result it can yield a lot of ec but again the last part has an element of randomness.
http://www.stowiki.org/Assignment_chain:_Children%27s_Toys
If you dont like doffing, you can always recruit doffs from the acadamy assignments and use the convert 5 doffs of a lower quality into 1 of a higher quality (5 white->1 green/5 green ->1 Blue/5 blue->1 Purple), this costs dilithium to do, not a lot but again it's random as to what doff you get but some doffs sell very well.
http://www.stowiki.org/Doff#Obtaining_More_Duty_Officers
You can also run elite STFs and sell MK XII loot for decent returns or watch the exchange for trends and pay attention on upcoming events or patch notes to spot something that may become valuable or less valueable, eg whenever a new lockbox is released master keys will increase in cost, buy them cheap sell them high.
No abreviations (doffs=duty officers) please,some ppl may not uderstand.
Unreplicable materials,where on memory alpha can i get them?
What does "ppl" mean?
What has a Infinite Rocket Launcher to do with that? :cool:
See ... and I have over 20 more ... Ireland (this is even official) ... Injured Reserve List
I know what you want to achieve, but don't make the same mistake then
Ya, and we could continue with that:
OMG tis OTT RE: on OPs
understood

How much do you sell them for to get that much?
join date december 2011
Do the Resettle Colonists Duty Officer mission, which can be found pretty much anywhere randomly in space, on ground, or via your Operations Department head. Lasts 4 hours, and has a cool down of 24 hours after it completes, so you can essentially do it once a day.
You will get 5 colonists which you can sell on the exchange for 20,000-50,000 each depending on the market. Best time to post for maximum Energy Credit return is Friday nights or Saturday mornings.
Do Duty Officer missions that Reward Contraband. Sell on exchange for 40,000-60,000 energy credits each instead of turning in for dilithium.
Anytime you see a personal assignment to evaluate a Saurian Bridge Officer, take it. If the Bridge Officer you receive has the efficient trait, you can sell it on the Exchange for very high Energy Credits.
As a previous poster suggested, there are a lot of ways to buy undervalued things on the exchange and resell. Think like a Ferengi, which shouldn't be hard if you really want that D'Kora.
