great, if you're really that enthusiastic about running the jumphole a hundred times


I'm doing the same route, except, I show up, blast the silly Junkers to pieces, collect up to a dozen guns/missile and whatever goods they drop out, last run just got me $100K for maybe 15mins. not as profitable (cardimines don't get dropped off often) but must have killed 30-40 ships

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

Damn, that's a lot of cash.

dang. If only the junkers weren't mad at me at the moment... I really ticked em off when one of them had the nerve to tell ME to drop my cargo of engine components.... I was close to a junker base at the moment, and ended up killing 20 or so junkers in about 10 or 15 minutes and they ended up hating me. I've never been on the junker's good side since then.

I just tried it, Nemo, and yup, that route ROCKS, don't it? I got jumped a coupla times... slowed my roundtrip to 5 and a half minutes... but it still way rocks over the best route in the "Another trade route" thread, which was LukeSkyfocker, Cadiz artifacts <-> London Light Arms at 1.7M/hr. I clock yours (at 5.5 minutes) at 3.4 mil/hour (or 57k/min or 207 pcm, "per cargo minute". Whoa, twice as good as Luke's!

It's sweet how the jumphole is right next to Yanagi, and the Berlin side is right next to... the trade lane to Berlin!! You don't even need to set waypoints, because stations and lanes can be readily seen in the "stellars" filter. The only downside is that most everybody will be getting jumped by somebody, with Hessians etc. in the area. Plus it requires good with Junkers. But it's still a way awesome route.

Anybody got any better ones?

P.S. I will probably upload a spreadsheet to LR with good trade runs... this one's going to the top

Hehe, don't you wish you had one of those transports that carries 29999 of an item?

I don't know why people run Engine Components here... dimonds are more profitable... do the math.

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea of building a giant robotic parrot out of melted down coins was a bad idea, I would have one kick a$$ giant robotic parrot.

isnt the new berlin => sigma-13 jumphole closed in multiplayer?

if it is, this route wont be the best...

and @hairfarmer
look at those numbers again, with diamonds ud only gain 280 credits.


*** EDIT:
well, it IS closed. as long as you can you do that run in under 11 minutes going over frankfurt, its a good one. if not, not.

um.. ok.. that beats my 1.5 mil/hr by alot. and my run goes to all the houses plus the cadiz bases... takes one hellova long time, i'm using yours. thanks,


presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$

Trade a littlebit. Stuttgart -> New Tokyo or something.
go to planet crete (omicron gamma), buy a titan (750k). Get artefact weapons from sigma 13. GO back to crete. accept a job for 210k (destroy a base, hunt a crminal, fight ships). All about 15min (hunting takes 3min when you are smart).

Get 210k for a easy mission.

Where to get a bigger crago as this from rheinleid (250 Space)?

not sure what the best profit is but to my knowlede it is: Alien Artifacts Leon (or Cadiz not sure i forgot) 135 to Planet Manhattan sells for 1500 i think. Thats more than a 10x profit

That is a very high return on investment, but it's soooo long. What everyone wants to do is find the best possible profit/time ratio trade run. In that sense, artifacts from cadiz -> manhattan is pretty poor.

artifacts from cadiz => new london and back engine components is the best so far (~107 per minute and cargo unit)

the dromedary with 275 cargo units can be bought at the mactan base in magellan (lane hackers base)

Edited by - sp00n on 14-04-2003 09:06:28

SO FAR (assuming a Dromedary @ 275 cargo):

In SP mode: Engine Components Planet New Berlin, <-> Cardamine Yanagi Depot @ just over 200 per minute / cargo unit

In MP mode: Artifacts Cadiz Base <->= Light Arms New London @ just over 100 per minute / cargo unit

I have to try the New Berlin <-> Sigma 13 route via Stuttgart (as in MP mode since Sigma13 jump hole is closed) to see how it compares. I'll have to get at least neutral (bribes!) with Outcasts, Hessians & Corsairs to avoid being jumped every two minutes!


Do not follow me, I am lost too[!

try this one...

haul banana from monkey planet to planet manhattan, new york. Gets you 2000 credits per banana...


What we do na?
