The loops worth your time right now — patch 4.10.2, prices synced 28 Oct 2026. This page refreshes every day and links to the tools that compute your own numbers. Every rate in Star Citizen shifts by patch and by server, so treat figures anywhere (here included) as a lead to test in your own session, not a promise.
Live sell prices via UEX Corp, patch 4.10.2, prices synced 28 Oct 2026. Prices are crowd-sourced and vary by shard.
The steadiest earner: buy low, sell high, or run cargo-hauling contracts. Profit scales with your hold and your capital, so the real question is which run pays most for your ship right now.
→ Best trade routes — enter your budget and cargo SCU and it sizes each run by money, hold and stock, then ranks by total profit per trip.
Hull-scrape wrecks into Recycled Material Composite (RMC), and structural-salvage the frames into Construction Materials (CMAT). Low entry cost, reliable, and the modules and yields get re-tuned most patches — so sell where the price is actually live.
→ RMC 7,800 aUEC/SCU · CMAT 13,000 aUEC/SCU — find the best sell point and what a full hold is worth on salvage.
Extract raw ore, then refine it before selling — refined minerals are worth far more than raw, and the method you pick trades yield against speed and cost. Don't sit and watch the clock: drop the job and let a timer call you back.
→ Ore & mineral values for live sell prices and where to sell · Refinery methods & work-order timers to pick a method and get alerted when a job is done.
Bounty and combat contracts pay well once your ship is fit for the fight, and ship balance is an active target patch to patch — check what changed before you commit a build.
→ Ships & loadouts to build and share a fit · News for the latest balance passes.
Refueling and other industrial loops reward players who read the economy: fuel prices and tank sizes change, which changes what's worth doing. Anchor decisions to live numbers, not last patch's guide.
→ Trade routes for fuel & commodity prices · News for economy changes.
Search “best money Star Citizen” and most of page one is written for an old patch. versetoolkit takes the opposite approach: the numbers above are pulled live and dated to patch 4.10.2, prices synced 28 Oct 2026, the page rebuilds every day, and it hands you the tools to compute your own figures rather than quoting a rate that was true three patches ago. When the game moves, this page moves with it.
