The most Profitable Trade Run is....

Mon Mar 31, 2003 2:04 am by Juggernaut

When looking just @ the profit you need to haul H-fuel!

With the Humpback wich has 250 cargo,... and is generally easy to come by!
Buy @ Gasminer Ogashawa in Sigma 19 for 23 per unit, sell @ Cadiz -base 600 per unit, and get 2508% profit off it.
Per run You get 144250

What i don't know is how long it will take per run,...

So, lets say you need to make as much profit as possible in 1,5 hours trading.

What is the best commodity to trade, what is the course, how long does it take per run, and what is the endprofit?

Try hauling cardamine from Mactan Base in Magellan to Planet Manhatten in New York. Just one system away.., makes about 700 profit per unit per run.

Wow, that would make money real fast,... one bad thing though,... one needs 210.000 to fill up the cargo hold!

But the profit would be big too >>> 172500

thnx

I have been taking Diamonds from New Berlin to New Tokyo and Niobium from New Tokyo back to The Ring, right outside of New Berlin......

diamond- niobium (new tokyo, thering, new berlin) run is currently the MOST profitable route round to date..

the artifacts - consumer goods ( yanagi depot, new berlin) is also pretty fast and the profits are ok too, but just hope that you dont get caught

easier to haul banned cargo in liberty space because all the ships are weak.
Don't stop to chat with the police...

I liked to do Lux. Consumer goods from Roppongi in New Tokyo to Ainu Depot (Hokkaido, I think?) and Cardamine back. Makes you 265,000 round trip, and it's only one system away. The only thing I don't like is that there is no tradelane from the jump gate to Ainu, so you have to spend a couple minutes cruising there and back. But it's a very low risk run and it makes good money.

How you mean get caugt,...

Is there no privacy against the scanning of cargo holds???

Mon Mar 31, 2003 10:51 am by pommes

the best trade route is of course, planet new berlin buy 275 engine components and sell in sigma 13 yanagi depot all for 82225 profit, now buy 275 artifacts and sell all at planet new berlin profit 182050!!! do this a few times and you are level 38!!!
the clou is you fly from planet new berlin to brandenbourg border station and at the half way near the trade lane, there is a jump hole to sigma 13... well check this out

I dunno about you guys but I find I like Cadiz Base to Leon Base. It is one way though but extremely short and profit for each run is 105,600 credits only. I take around a minute to get to each base. The item is Pharmaceuticals which can be bought for 335 (yes I know it's expensive) and sold for 719 each. A short and easy way to get money for me.

a good route is take luxury goods from manhaten to the Hawaii then buy artifacts there and sell them at manhanten. loads of cash but a long run, unless you get the Grand Central Station (look in editing fourm) then its only two there and two back

*Insert sig here*

Nooo no mods,... i could just as well edit the ini files,... but i want to play this cheat or mod free!

*shrugs* I just take missions from Crete and Leon Base for my faction (Corsairs) and make about $150k each mission, and I get to blow up lots of outcasts and Bounty Hunters, though the BH missions are harder, but highest yield.

But if you trade instead of doing missions you don't damage your rep
