That's not too shabby, it would be about standard for me... but that's pretty good...

Pretty good, but we could risk going down the boasting route here of mine's bigger than yours..



Do not follow me, I am lost too[!

You make more money 'trading' than killing other lifeforms in the same amount of time..



...and if we are going to work together, call me Juni (wink)...

...yeah, you can call me Trent, Trent the desperate dull square jaw who just lost a million credits..

Best "trade" route would have to be the Rochester -> Manhattan run. Actually, it's more of a pirating run. Wait outside Rochester (about 900m or so where they can't hit you, and they're gonna want to after you do this a few times) for either a Rogue Mule or a Junker CSV. As soon as they're in range, scan them. If they have Cardamine or Artifacts, pop em, tractor in the cargo, and head for Manhattan. If you fly over the north pole you won't get scanned by LSF patrols (well, I've never been scanned....yet). I can make 105,000 per run in my Eagle with a hold full of Cardamine or 89,740 with a hold full of artifacts. Not a bad haul for a few minutes work. Only drawback is sometimes you have to wait quite a while. I've made runs where I was able to bag a CSV full of Cardamine before even reaching Rochester, and I've also sat outside using Rogues as target practice for an hour and not one good transport has come along. You can find Diamonds, Niobuim, and Gold coming in and out of Rochester, but the price you get on Manhattan really isn't worth the trouble.

A really good but dagerous VHF 'trade route' is if you go through the jumphole in omericron Theta to omericron Gamma and kill aload of outcast ace's until up get 70 niobium. Then go and sell this on lezpig station. This makes you an amazing amount of money and is incredibly fun unlike normal trading.

run around tradelines and kill transporters, land on the next base and seel the cargo, and run around agian , sometimes good money, sometimes lesser or not much

Once I got to 10mil+ I didn't care anymore about money. Shooting anything that moves is my motto now.
Go into Kusary space, park yourself by a jump gate, or better still by a trade lane near a planet/base, and then start shooting at all the transports and escorts around. Soon every legal group is gone red as hell on you, and now the fun begins with dozen of ships after your scalp!


JUNI - Trent! Have you been playing with yourself again?

Amen.

One nice trick for getting a ton of cash in a short space of time is assasin missions. In Malta, myself and a squad-mate did this in Omicron Alpha and got about 2.5 million between us in less than 30 minutes. Land on Malta/Crete and then take high level assasin missions (in Omicron Alpha, the missions tend to be short ranged), and the second you take out the mission target, let the other enimies kill you. You then end up back at Malta/Crete right away, with about 200,000 in your back pocket. Then just grab another assasin mission and head out.

Fast, easy money
