Hint: Easy credits:
This trick exploits the fact that Igadzra warships have a lot of armor. Go to an uninhabited system near a Zidagar/Igadzra border (in other words, a place where the Zidagar and Igadzra are fighting frequently). It needs to be uninhabited as you will become a criminal to the Igadzra and they will open fire on you on sight in an inhabited system. For example, use Grooz between Terapin (Zidagar) and Mark (Igadzra.). Land on Grooz, then leave. Check how many Zidagar and Igadzra are fighting. If it appears as if the Zidagar are losing (which they will if there are less than two of their warships to one of the Igadzra), land on Grooz again. If it appears as if the Zidagar are going to win, then approach one of the Igadzra warships (resemble big bananas). Let the Zidagar disable it. They will keep hitting it, but because of its armor you have a few seconds to position yourself to board. If you succeed, you will get between 300,000 and 700,000 credits (averages about 450,000 to 550,000). Using this technique, you can pull in 1,000,000 credits about every fifteen minutes. Note: It is recommended that you at least have an Arada before you trying this, although it is possible to do with a scoutship. You can also try it on Adzgari Crescent warships, but they are quite a bit harder to board because they do not have as much armor.
