The BEST Trade Route

Wed Apr 16, 2003 6:41 pm by Stardust

Many threads have been created regarding Trade Routes and people's favourites but I'm after the one that can earn me the most credits in an hour. You may scold me for posting a thread about a discussed topic but I don't think there is actually a determined "BEST" trade route. My one, which I got from the MP spoiler is:

Buy H-Fuel from Manhatten

Sell at Detroit, buy Light Arms

Sell Light Arms and Montezuma Base, buy Cardamine

Sell Cardamine at Manhatten

Gets you 300000 each time in a dromedary but takes awhile. Does any1 know the BEST trade route?

The one I find most fun:

Manhattan: Luxury Goods
Honshu: Sell, buy Optronics
Planet Malta: Sell, buy Cardamine
Manhattan: sell, repeat if you care.

Takes a while and has high risk but damn it's fun. Makes a million with one round trip.

IN SINGLE PLAYER ONLY::

Planet New Berlin, New Berlin, -> Yanagi Depot, Sigma 13 -> Planet New Berlin, New Berlin

Buy Engine Components @ 225 and sell @ 524 Profit 299
Buy Cardamine @ 510 and sell at 1,349 Profit 839
Total profit per tonne per round trip 1,138

Time taken for a round trip LESS THAN 5 MINUTES! (12 – 14 round trips per hour)

So if you get yourself a dromedary (275 cargo) you could earn in excess of 4 MILLIONS per hour 1138 x 275 x 13=4,068,350

PLEASE NOTE: Original Poster --> LukeSkyfocker

First: Get to Cadiz Base in Omega 5. It's a Corsair base. Buy Artifacts for $135. Leave Cadiz and go to Planet New London (Omega 5 -> Cambridge Jump Hole -> Planet Cambridge Trade Lane -> New London Jump Gate. Then You go to Planet New London). Sell the Artifacts for $1,147, which is a profit of $1,012 per unit.

Then Buy Small Arms from Planet New London for $350. Go back to Cadiz the same way you got to New London. Sell the Small Arms at Cadiz for $840 which is a profit of $490 per unit. What is great about this route is that its really short. It takes two systems and there are only 2 Trade Lanes and about a 50K run between the Jump hole and Planet Cambridge. It takes 6 minutes give or take a few seconds to make it ONE WAY. So its 12 minutes total. If you have a Dromesdary, you can make some pretty quick cash. It holds 275 units of cargo. If you do the math, you make a profit of $413,050 round trip. Not so bad for only 12 minutes. If you break it down, you make $34,416.667 per minute of space flight. The only people that give crap are Molly's, but just fly past them.
