The most Profitable Trade Run is....

Wed Apr 02, 2003 2:25 am by AbuseMagnet

Surprised no-one else has mentioned this one: Gas Miner Naha to Kyoto Base, hauling H-Fuel to Kyoto and bringing water back (200/unit profit on H-Fuel, 55/unit on water, 63750 profit per round trip). One jump, and every leg is within docking range so you can do it in your sleep and in only a few minutes per trip. No hostiles, either. It may not be the highest profit per run, but the runs are so fast you can make it up in volume

I've found a really easy way to make money is to rotate between the capitals. Get Luxury Consumer Goods at Manhattan and sell them in New Berlin. Buy Diamonds there and sell them in New Tokyo. Buy Engine Parts there and sell them in New London. Then buy Luxury Foods there and sell them in Manhattan. Just repeat the process and you'll be rolling in cash. The other nice thing is, the routes tend to be well-patrolled, so it's fairly low risk. It's all legal, too, but you'll get around $1000 per good per route, except for the Manhattan-New Berlin one. The most problem I have is with Outcasts on the New Tokyo-New London route, but if you're neutral with them it's a breeze.

Am I the only idiot taking Engine Components from Honshu to Mactan Base? It takes freakin' forever but I can read the forums on a laptop while I travel ;-)

Engine Components @ Honshu are 150, sell at Mactan Base for 1424. That makes 275 * 1274 = 350350 profit. Not bad for a one way trip. Now what should I bring back? Of course you'll need about 50000 to do it (to buy the parts and the shield batteries ;-)

Ok, I just timed it and it took me 40 minutes (yikes!). Using the Freelancer Cargo Computer 1.1.07 (man is that cool!!!), I decided to hit Pueblo Station on the way back and pick up Jump Gate / Trade Lane Parts for 140 to sell at 1120 at Chugoku Gate Construction. This will give me another 269500 profit. Theis trip takes about 40 minutes, too.

So the whole trip takes me a while (1.5 hours?), but I end up with an exta 619500, which should be enough to outfit my ship before Mission 8 ;-)

Yeeehaawwwww!

I have a great Early game route which takes place in the Kusari empire so you have no enemies when you first get there. Not entirly sure on the planets(one is honshu I know for sure). Basically you go from honshu to ethier dashima station or Junyo. It is safe and quick and you can make just under 100k with a humpback per round trip. Not very helpful I know but my notes are not the best in the best condition(I have calculatons on trade routes and ship/weapon prices all over the place)
