Last year, bounty hunting used to be my main activity. It was fun, and the payouts were decent. But after returning for patch 4.4, I’m not sure if it’s still the best way to earn aUEC. I hear people saying that salvaging or mining pays better now. I don’t mind combat, but I don’t want to waste time if the rates are too low. Are bounties still worth doing? Or should I switch to something else? I’d like to hear from players who tried different methods recently.

Bounties are still fun, but they’re not the fastest way to earn unless you already have strong gear. Many players skip the slow part by buying star citizen credits so they can upgrade their ships right away. With a good loadout, bounty missions become much easier and faster. The best part is how simple the process is—pick an amount, enter your RSI handle, select a payment method, and the aUEC arrives within minutes. Since the game resets progress often, people prefer buying enough currency to unlock better ships and weapons quickly. That way, combat missions feel more rewarding from the start.

Bounty hunting can still be enjoyable if you like fast action and flying against tougher opponents. It may not always pay the most, but it’s one of the more exciting parts of the game. If you already enjoy the combat side of things, it can be a great way to spend time. The payouts add up once you get comfortable with the missions.
