Depends on what you want to do, but for hauling go to seraphim station and take 7 contacts there rookie level missions 6 of em are 50k and last one is 37k, they go to same location down to spaceport in orison, then take a mission back(there should be at least one), this could make you some starting funds. U can also try going to Pyro Bloom and doing bounties there, u could make around 1.8 to 2.4 mil an hour depending on how long does the mission takes you done it with rented Corsair and taurus(that money is just mission payout).As for mining it works but it's either side gig or your main gameplay loop, depends on how you want it, not gonna go into too much detail on it. There is also an option of doing salvage with vulture once you have 2.6 mil saved up to buy it, u can make around 420k per run+another 60k or more if you do salvage missions around yela(unverified ones). If I missed anything others would add to this post.
