Easy Materials from Base Raid in Elite Dangerous Odyssey

I have this doubt, currently I'm playing horizon so, what will happen to my existing data If I purchase odyssey DLC ? Do I start with new data or I can continue from horizon? Also, the materials farmed using this method for engineering too right? Thanks!

Whats the point of this vid? Data is the bottleneck not random useles junk, even optical fibre or grephene will be filled 3x over before you get all the data's youl need. unless you are powering the place up to scan the dataports too, this is not worth your time for maybe 1 or 2 suit schematics or gas, everything else can be farmed much faster with other methods. Doing this is about the equivalent of trying to engineer a ship and going around collecting iron and nickel with laser mining then up trading.

I've so been avoiding playing this side of Odyssey........... I foresee us needed to tho, ground combat with thargoids seems a real possibility in 2023

It’s just a completely different game when you can walk on land

There’s now another way to farm sites (though your gonna need to be quick)

You’ll need
1x Power Regulator
2x E-Breaches
1x SRV
1x Maverick Suit

1: Go to one of the Thargoid Invasion systems
2: Go to the Abandoned Odyssey site type you want
3: Once on surface disembark Your srv and when possible dismiss your ship
4: Cut your way to the power core and insert the Regulator
5: Use An e-breach on the core panel to gain access and then start power up
6: find the authentication panel for the site, apply an e-breach to it and disable
7: loot the place for all its worth for materials, goods & data (use the srv as a drop off to ensure maximum farming)
8: retrieve the regulator
9: recall ship and leave

Here's my method:

Find a settlement controlled by a faction with the Anarchy government; you won't incur any sanctions or lose reputation; a favorite target of mine is the Eurybia Blue Mafia, because, well, they're the fucking mafia. Make sure you engage them with a Scorpion SRV (I haven't tried the Scarab, but I assume it's too flimsy for sustained combat with soldiers, even though it's weaponry has to be more accurate than that fucking minigun on the Scorpion), and have enough materials for repairs and ammo restock. The most they'll do is send in a single wave of reinforcements using a Frontline Solutions Vulture, and that's it. Once the guards are taken care of, you can slaughter the workers (don't forget to copy a Level 3 security profile, which can also be done when the person with such a profile is dead, so you can use the terminals to locate any and all containers that are locked by a passcode; lockers that need a passcode can just be opened using the Arc Cutter on the Maverick suit), go on a "shopping spree", and farm materials. As a bonus, ships will continue landing and departing; I've found the weaponry on the Scorpion is enough to take out the shields on certain ships like the Keelback or Asp Explorer, and can outright destroy a Sidewinder, Cobra MkIII, Adder, or Hauler before they get out of range.

Take the settlement for everything it's got, up to and including the Power Regulator (make sure you use the overcharge on your Energylink to open up a path by overcharging the ports on doors, taking advantage of charging ports, so you'll have a route out without having to waste Energy Cells). I recommend parking your SRV in the middle of the settlement so you can drop off your assets, goods, and data when your Maverick suit reaches maximum capacity. After that, you can just hop back into your SRV, head back to your ship, and either go to the nearest station to sell your materials, or find another Anarchy settlement for your next "squelching" if you're seeking to upgrade something (at the time I'm writing this, I'm trying to farm materials to upgrade my Karma AR-50 to Grade 3, mainly so I can kill people faster in High-Intensity Conflict Zones; THOSE are real moneymakers).

I did something similar, but I took the mission. I went to the settlement, broke into the power centre and put in the regulator, powered up the settlement. Immediately powered back down. Powering down takes a while, and if you're quick you can rob all the data ports before the power goes out.

Now take off. Go into supercruise at 45 degrees, hold that course until your ship goes above 2.5km/sec, then flip over backwards and head back down to the settlement. If you've done it right you'll be coming in at the optimum angle (just above the red) and so you're out and back in faster that way.

Once you're done robbing, leave the power regulator in place and hand the mission in.

I cant find suite ones for crap. I got tons of weapon ones.

As of the date of this comment (Apr 29, 2022) all unpowered bases that have restart missions on them are COMPLETELY empty of anything worthwhile IF you do not accept the restart mission. I just ran an entire base and all I found were medkits and power packs. All the storage locations both unlocked and locked, plus all the loot boxes scattered around the base were completely empty.

I don’t even know how to begin to do these kinds of missions. I’m so lost

It seems like they change this exploit, I was trying this and they got 20 guys drop in.

hm.. why not power that base with accepting mission, and youre get permission and easy entrance to every base, few npc is doable as well and get bounty on them

Is this still valid?

Does this till work? Tried with irregular markers and it didn't work. I mean the supercruise trick.

they've changed a lot... now i get caught everywhere, or at least is not so easy and annoying

Literally impossible to find powered down settlements, or restore missions. Is it a bug with the latest release or is everyone taking restore missions for the looting, so there aren't any powered down stations. I even tried doing missions for material rewards and it never asked me what reward I wanted, just gave me credits. It's literally impossible to get the mats I need to upgrade my suits. Odyssey is awful.

Thanks very helpful video

osyssey on thumb nail lol

does not work , none of this dudes videos actually work when you try , click bait

the game design never disappoints!

Do a few Frontline drops then fly your ship in, drive close in SRV, hide it close, fight the fight but rather than leaving, loot everything. :) All the soldiers Booya you as you steal everything

A successful loot on an agricultural base this afternoon. First time.

What kinds of Mats can you farm this way?

Thanks to this, I farmed the Genetic Repair Meds that I... I mean, that Jude Navarro needed to refer me to Terra Velasquez. :)

how do you change the hud color?

this's a exploit? D: anyone know what happened if u do this to many times xddd

ANYONe know how to get light back on suit? I see icon for light but all is dark

How to exploit.... watch a guide by DtEA.

Thanks for this
Very useful information

I found a location with E-Breaches in the Crathiganit System at Resnick Market. They are prohibited, so I guess if you get scanned with them on foot, it could be a problem.

Best guy in ED!

I spent about 5-6 hours today, visited about 25+ stations and there is no such missions anywhere to be found.

I hate elite, I cant farm anything, stupid game :(

I have a serious question: How many hours has DEA spent in ED.

I'm currently at about 1200 hours...

You actually don't even need to even go to a station at the ass end of nowhere for that.

Just look up a settlement in "civil unrest" state from the system map: Those are powered down and on fire.
Settlements in "lockdown" are powered down with no fires.
Settlements in "outbreak" seem to also be powered down with no fires.

Dead Dave, they are all dead. - The Red Dwarf reference ^^

Your videos have helped me no end. I've just found a nice little farm for all the other resources. Head to a Mining Prospect that needs powering up, don't land near the main base. There are two buildings set away with the mining machinery, you can land right next to them. loads of cabinets including one large and a broken SRV to loot, 6 yellow boxes, 2 needing re-breach. Only 2 Npc to kill. I've been using your frameshift refresh, but from 2km and then flying back down 10km after cancelling the Frameshift. Worth a video? This is a gem.

And how do i find missionboards with support missions? I travelled through some systems and found none that gives support missions. Have the System to be in a special State?

not gonna lie, that ad segue was pretty smooth...

If only FDev showed this game the love so many players and creators do, this game shows no love from FDev since landing on planets... I mean who really thinks log on, log off is fun? who thinks having to do crap like jumping into super cruise over and over is fun? and for what end? Why, why can't frontier add game play to a game? why is it always a shallow loop you have to repeat over and over and over again? People often ask why people get so frustrated with Fdev and it's simple really - many of us see a game that has so much potential by things that should be fairly simple like QOL enhancements and by regularly adding things to find and explore in the galaxy and fdev simply refuses to do it, if it doesn't grind it's out and it's frustrating as hell - as much as I love Elite I am really hoping another company can look at Elite and come up with game that plays on Elites strength's and put the love into it to keep it fresh, I give up on FDev, they just are not capable, everything they do seems bare bones minimum and no love, no creativity... just grind, so very, very sad.

Wait why is it important to not pick up the mission? That was never explained? I've been picking up the mission and just turning it in after my farm for a little extra credits or items.

It's a shame that you have to find tricks to circumvent the idiotic grind and the time spoiling this game has set up. Feels like ripping people of their time and money at the same time. It's great that quickly methods arise to get around this but that again makes it even more insane. What's the point of playing a game in an unintended way just to get around how stupid it has been made? Thx Astro for showing us how though.

I've just been doing the missions. Usually picking ones with material rewards, and being a bit picky with the base type.

You get the power regulator, can turn on the power for the doors, get authorisation 3 as part of the mission. Saves you a bunch of suit power and time with having access and the doors powered. The fires just require you to flick the atmosphere processing panel, but after a number of runs you learn the set locations for them in each building type. Sometimes you've got a dozen NPCs to kill (maybe 33% per mission), but you still have complete access to clear the place out out. Anything with a CMD building tends to have some real nice stuff.

found a place to download opinion polls
it is a reactivation power at Vasyluks Zenith HIP 82820
picked up the mission from HIP 82851 Hawley Terminal
the third and fouth reset so far with 2 opinion polls from data ports in the habitats
Im farming mats anyways
proboly alot better place somewhere
this spot would be a cool place to have an SRV 500 someday it has a purty cool track for races

cant sub twice :(

I like this guides.. Thanx

This seems like a good intro/training for beginners. The kind of thing I need.

Thats what I call massivley boring gameplay.

Nice video. I was just wondering.. why are we doing this? Upgrading the weapons for what? CZ i guess... ? But what about ED? Has it just turned to be a 1st person shooter now? OK, exploration is still fine with the new planets but would be nice with some nef stuff for the ships.
