Getting started trade routes?

Mon Mar 31, 2003 5:42 am by M.Bison

Hi I'm about to start a multiplayer character. What's the best New York system trade routes to get started and earn some quick cash so I can begin to build my character. For instance, using default money, what are a sequence of events that will get me a Defender quickly.. or even a Liberty freighter soon.

Thanks!

at the battleship buy h-fuel go to the ship yard next to it 450 meters sell the h-fuel you make about $30 per item. You can also buy toxic waste at the shipyard and sell it on the battle ship for $2 per item good to sart off on plus the defender is sold at the battle ship. If anyone else has any other good starting runs I'd be interested in hearing them as well.

Yeah, that's the easiest way to make money until you are strong enough to get out of the system and buy a big freighter and make the big runs. But hey, you can't complain about only having to fly 450m on the run, huh? (I kinda wish I'd known this existed...make it easy to afford a decent ship pretty early...)

The $30 profit from selling H-Fuel between Fort Bush and Baltimore Shipyard is a good start.

If you don't mind doing a little more flying i.e. letting the Trade Rings do most of the work for you...

Boron = Pittsburgh (120) -> Fort Bush (144)
Pharmaceuticals = Fort Bush (111) -> Pittsburgh (144)

That's a round trip profit of $57. If you can fill up a Rhino Freighter you'll get 80 x $57 or $4560 per trip. Early on, it's not bad for a mining facility and police base seperated by one Trade Lane.
