Quick answer
Quick take
Courier missions are one of the easiest ways to earn early credits because they teach navigation and consistency without a lot of pressure.
- Your first goal is one clean delivery, not an optimized route.
- Courier missions are one of the easiest ways to earn early credits because they teach navigation and consistency without a lot of pressure.
- Your first goal: complete one clean delivery loop — then repeat it once before upgrading.
- Avoid multi-stop or confusing jobs until the basic loop feels automatic.
Do this now
- Accept a single pickup → single dropoff courier contract.
- Fly directly to pickup, grab the package, then go straight to dropoff.
- Complete and cash out, then repeat the same type once.
- Scale only after consistency: faster ship handling, better route discipline, then bigger loops.
- If you keep failing, simplify: shorter distance, fewer steps.
Common mistakes (and exact fixes)
| Mistake | What happens | Fix (exact) |
|---|---|---|
| Taking multi-stop delivery immediately | You get lost and waste time. | Start single pickup/dropoff only. |
| Looting and detouring mid-contract | You fail and earn nothing. | Finish the loop first; detour later. |
| Changing loops too fast | No mastery → slow progress. | Repeat a proven loop 2–3 times before switching. |
