Making Money On The Exchange
Need Energy Credits? This post will guide you through the process of converting your Fleet Credits into MILLIONS of energy credits on the Exchange in 5 easy steps...
the first step is to use zen to buy the 1 billion energy credit upgrade in the Cstore...you are gonna need it!
The 2nd step is to purchase Purple Quality (Very Rare) duty officers from a starbase (as of this post, our fleet has access to blue, but that upgrade is coming soon)...Our head fleet to the Armada has a sufficient level of starbase and will give an invite if asked in Armada chat when their members are on...I also have a toon in their fleet in order to give our fleet direct access to their holdings when I am in game...
the 3rd step is to go to the exchange and open up one DOFF (duty officer) at a time...under the buy tab on the exchange, set your filter to very rare quality and search for the duty officer type...(science, medical, operations, tactical, security, engineering, civilian)
The 4th step is to look through the duty officers for sale until you find duty officers with the abilities your DOFF has and make note of their selling price...
The 5th and final step is to click the sell tab, click and drag your DOFF into the item tray at the top, undercut the lowest selling price by a few thousand energy credits so your item sells faster and put the Doff up for sale...wash, rinse and repeat!
if someone has a stupid low price in comparison to everyone else for any particular Doff and you have the EC to purchase it, buy it and sell the one you bought and the one you are trying to sell for your normal price...
I make 20 to 30 million energy credits in a couple days every time I do this...

Great info! I'm to the point with most of my characters I'm looking for higher end/specialized equipment. Quickest way to get it is to buy on the exchange, but that adds up quick. I've sold equipment I didn't need like this, I'll have to give the DOFF thing a try since my fleet credits are stacking up.
A
I've made over 100 million EC over the course of a single weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) doing this...However, I also used 2 million Fleet Credits to buy Doffs...
Two things...
1) Before you hit 'search' at step 3, click the radar button at the bottom of the Exchange screen to only show items you can use on your character. You can only buy Fed DOFFs from our Fed Starbase and vice versa for KDF. This narrows down the DOFFs on the exchange to which you're comparing the DOFF you have for sale. The lowest price for the type of DOFF you're selling can vary by millions of EC just because yours is a Fed one or KDF one.
2) EDIT: Fed fleet Starbase sells purple very rare DOFFs in all categories now. KDF has at least some purple ones. Some blue DOFFs with rare traits sell for a few million and sometimes a rare KDF costs more than a very rare Fed equivalent as there are just fewer to go around.
