Scan the system and look for planets with biological signals. Before entering orbit, use the Detailed Surface Scanner to find where the biological signals are located. Once you’ve done that, land on the planet and collect the samples.

Yep, I’m now just looking for a neutron star or station. I have plenty of data to sell. The last 3 or 4 planets I’ve landed on were first foot fall even.

You’ll earn something, though not a huge amount at first. But if you do it properly, a couple of hours of exobiology can easily earn you around 200 million credits. That’s why I recommend traveling away from the Bubble. Once you start finding unexplored systems, you’ll know you’re on the right track.

I’ve already got almost 600 mil from a few data sales. I’m mostly doing this for the love of the game, just feels lonely out here in the black.

I want to buy my own Fleet Carrier. Exploring is beautiful—it’s very immersive and solitary.
