Thanx for BEST trade route! (4Mil/hour)
If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Right, I time Berlin <-> Yanagi via Frankfurt (for MP) at 13 minutes roundtrip. That's 24k/minute or 1.44M/hr, which is not as good as Luke's Cadiz <-> London run. Why are some of you saying to take this via Stuttgart in MP? Am I missing an MP jumphole?
Madjack, you might want to immediately re-dock if you get pirated right after leaving base. Enemies will still be out there, but they only pirate you randomly (=try try again). Of course, if they pirate you far from the base, you can't do much about it.
Somebody told me I could simply drop my cargo and then beam it back in. When I try to do this, it po's whomever wanted it. Am I missing something? (Is MP different from SP?)

HTR you aren't missing any JH's, that was just a mistake...I assume they meant frankfurt. And tractoring back in your cargo always po's whoever tried to steal it from you (LOL - My loot, my beautiful loot).

Hey guys. I want to chip in on this because I have run the Nemo trade route and figured the best commodity (for New Berlin to Yanagi Depot). If you run ENGINE COMPONENTS from here for a full frieght (I use a humpback) you make 131K. If you run DIAMONDS from New Berlin to Yanagi Depot, you make 165K. So hairfarmer is right in his previous post, RUN DIAMONDS FROM NEW BERLIN TO YANAGI DEPOT INSTEAD OF ENGINE COMPONENTS. Cardamine from Yanagi back to Berlin is still the best return route.
This is the best single player round-trip Trade route I have seen, and if anyone has a better single player Traide route PLEASE LET ME KNOW VIA E-MAIL OR POST ON THIS BOARD. Thanks guys!, and I still love Warcraft 3, Arx Fatalis, and ummmmmmn (hehhehehe) a dorky game called "Pusher" %^)E)

Sp00n I think you've got it backwards bro. Either that or I do L0L. Nah but serious man, I tried the run earlier and I REALLY think you have it upside down. Of course, I've drank a few brews 
But I will try this run again later to confirm. BTW, just got 4 mil, have Eagle w/best lvl9/10/nomad/missle/mines/shield/etc, and I'm bored of this game now. Will uninstall after I test and see if either diamonds or engine components are better on that run......
...And now....on to.......um....(maybe finish Unreal 2 [which I got bored of?????)

No, no, spOOn et al are correct. The error you are making is thinking that you are ending up with more money because Diamonds is sold at a higher price. The only thing to consider is how much profit you make on each unit purchased and sold. The final price doesn't come into the reckoning, just the profit.
Therefore, Engine components at $299 profit per unit is better than Diamonds at $264 profit per unit.

If you're neutral or better with the Outcasts...
Try this route:
New Tokyo -> Honshu:
Luxury Foods, 1120 -> sell 1360 (240 profit)
Honshu- > Malta, Omicron Alpha (via Sig 19, Omicron Beta):
Engine Components, 150 -> sell 1350 (1200 profit)
Malta -> Ruiz Base, Omicron Beta:
Oxygen 30 -> sell 60 (30 profit, pay for radiation damage repairs)
Ruiz Base -> Shinjuku Station, New Tokyo (via Sig 19, Honshu)
Alien Organism 100 -> sell 1100 (1000 profit)
With a Dromedary, it will net 671,000 for the round trip (not including 30 per unit profit for Oxygen, like I said, use it for radiation damage repairs, flares, etc) I have not timed it, but it should be around 10 minutes. It's only 8 system jumps in total, but you have to fly through open space in Sig 19, Omicron Beta, and Omicron Alpha.
Return to New Tokyo and repeat.
For a very quick one if Outcasts hate you:
New Tokyo -> Ainu Depot, Hokkaido (in C6, C5 - near border):
Luxury Consumer Goods: 810 -> sell 1440 (630 profit)
Return Trip: Ainu Depot, Roppongi Station (at planet New Tokyo)
Cardamine: 479 -> sell 810 (331 profit)
Ainu Depot is around 30k from the Hokkaido->New Tokyo jump Gate, so It's a pretty quick trip. Just have to avoid the GC demanding cargro from you...

One decent (and fairly safe) run for beginners is to run boron from Pittsburgh to Stokes Mining Station, then beryillium from Stokes to Pueblo Station.
Using a rhino, with an initial outlay of 9,600, you'll make 120,000 profit.
80 units boron bought at 120 each = 9,600
Sold at Stokes for 900 per unit = 72,000 = 62,400 profit
80 units beryillium bought at Stokes at 300 each = 24,000
Sold at Pueblo Station at 1,020 per unit = 81,600 = 57,600 profit
It's certainly not the most profitable run in the universe, but it's a good way to set yourself up when you first start.

or use my rhino it has a cargo hold of a 1000000 lets see if i load it full with toxic waste in norfolk shipyard and sell them for 2 profit on battleship musurie i have 2 milion bucks in no time at all think about it 2 milion bucks in almost 2 minutes that is 2000000 times 30 is 60,000,000 that is more than enough to buy the biggest ship with the best weapons.

707th/Selerox,
LD14 is just one trade lane farther, and you can sell Boron for 960 there. They pay the best price for Boron in all the known universe
I'll keep a seat at the bar warm for ya.
In that neighborhood is a great deal, Tau31 Holman Niobium (320) to Stokes (640; 320 profit) and then Glasgow pharms (255) back to Holman (400; 145 profit). Roundtrip 8 minutes; 60 $/cargo minute. Also in the neighborhood for easy upgrading is the Clydesdale at Leeds and the Humpie at Planet Harris (Tau31).
One of the slickest "starter" routes was provided by Jaabaa in the "Another Trade Route" thread... 0 to level 24 in 90 minutes. Some of the threads like "Level 10 fighter in 2 hrs 49 mins" are cool for starting fast, too.
Keep on trucking -- CAPT H
