 ) '''Augmenters'''. Collecting [[augmenters]] and selling them to bases or players.
 ) '''Loot.''' [[Scoops|Scooping]] debris off dead ships; often AI ships get killed by bases and sometimes their loot can be sold millions of credits. Or, of course, you can kill them yourself and scoop the loot.
 ) '''Missions.''' Some [[Missions|missons]] give items or cash. A few of these items might be incredibly valuable or one-of-a-kind and will sell for quite a lot.
 ) '''Artifacts.''' [[Commodities|Pax medals or ancient Pax medals]]. These can be sold for huge amounts of money, and are available from [[Paxius]] exploration missions, which give good experience, credits, and sometimes items too. Just be sure to keep a few for yourself!
 ) '''Trading.''' Often player bases sell commodities such as Baobabs for 10 or 20 credits. Look out for these! If you spot them, get a bulk (or other ship with lots of space) and ship them off to sell at a nearby AI base for a lot of money.
 ) '''Begging.''' Don't underestimate it! Asking one of the many high levels politely for some money can work. Try to be polite and avoid statements like, plz lnd a mil. However, don't do it all the time, and try to avoid it unless you're going absolutely nowhere with profits.
 ) '''Dungeon Runs.''' This is for level 20 or above players really; jump into a ''red'' galaxy (called a [[DG]] and some numbers after it) and kill all the enemies. Scoop up the [[Neural Keysyncs]] (which are ''keys'') and then you may jump to the next level. Once you reach the last level of the dungeon (often it's the '0' level), you may kill the boss, and it drops rare loot. Usually the higher the [[danger factor]] of the DG, the harder it will be but you will also get better and more expensive stuff.
 ) '''Scamming.''' It has to be mentioned, ''but don't do this''! While it is not a punishable offense, ''you will get black-listed from all decent teams'', and ''you'' are likely to suffer later as a result. Definitely a no-no.
-) '''Helping Others.''' It rarely happens, but sometimes people need a little help, like getting healed. You can do this by using a ''shield transference'' weapon, which it transfers your shields to him or her. I strongly suggest that you always carry ''shield transference'', as if you see another player in danger and help out (even if it's only token), he or she may appreciate your help and reward you greatly.
 ) '''Tractoring'''. Sometimes players are in ships that can't use an engine, like a ''Gelato'' or a ''Thatch''. Using a tractor beam to pull people who are heavy, or have no engines to get to their desired location, can get you rewarded!
 ) '''Giving tips.''' Helping other new players can sometimes pay off, especially in reputation. Often people you help will reward you when they are at higher level.
 ) '''Teams.''' Often your team will help you get valuable items. Be careful though, as some teams have high ''tithe'' rates that will take money from you. Check to make sure that the team is not trying to scam you out of your hard-earned cash. It especially helps if you're on a distinctive team, or a team with a friend.
 ) '''Clearing Rumble Galaxies.''' Clearing the galaxies [[Rumble]], [[Rumble 2]], [[Rumble 3]], and [[Rumble Mumble]] for other people, or helping them do it, can provide much money. People pay large amounts to have help; for example, up to one billion credits for '''Rumble Mumble'''. It should be noted, however, that these galaxies can be insanely dangerous, and is not recommended for lower-leveled players.
 ) '''Selling.''' Trading in particularly rare equipment for credits is a quick way to snag some cash! Shout your wares on the 'Trade' chat, and wait for a reply. Be sure that you don't get scammed, though!
-) '''Capturing.''' Capturing certain ships can be really profitable for you! Most [[AI]] enemies have ''exclusive'' equipment that cannot be found anywhere else. Selling this to players, or occasionally AI stations, can score you serious cash. You can even sell ''certain'' AI ships to stations for a profit. Others you can advertise a price for and wait for a reply.
+) '''Mining.''' Sometimes, [[Asteroid|asteroid]] belts in certain galaxies might contain enormous riches. Places like the [[Arena Lobby]], [[Bonnet]] or [[Horrible Rocky]] have a massive amount of wealth, in the form of rare [[Commodities|commodities]], invested in those gray chunks of rock. Carrying a [[Weapons|mining laser]], or other mining-damage weapon, can help you if you choose to venture into these star systems and others.
 ) '''Bases.''' If you have some points invested in [[Station Management|station management]], you can build a base! Bases are actually very complex and are not for the faint of heart. However, if trading prices are set just right, you can cash in on some serious money.
 Most bases come with a simple shield, ''Bubblewrap''. It has no recharge whatsoever (even with a large bank), so it's very wise to equip another shield, or quartz chargers to suffice. With the exception of ''loaded kits'' (which happen to be a lot more expensive), that's the only thing you'll find.

 It's best that no buying prices are set up for normal commodities, because those can drain money fast out of your base. Also, certain commodities will actually sell than others. But if you set everything up correctly, you can gain a real profit!
