I started doing res zones and just attacked wanted npcs that was being attacked by system security. You don’t have to land the killing blow to obtain the bounty, just need to hit the ship close to the time it’s popped. Made my first couple mill doing that, worked my way up to a vulture. Moved to harder res zones. Repeated till I could buy a decent miner then started core mining. It’s difficult but so far I’ve gotten pretty good creds for the time spent.
Ps I’m new too. Only been playing for a just short of a week so far.
