Using the search option will help you not get flamed. But for a starting trade run if you get neutral with Rouges/Lane Hackers then:

Lux Goods from Manhattan to Planet Honshu
Planet Honshu take Engine parts to Mactan in Magellan or the Freeport. Mactan has a better price.

NB Mactan is Lane Hacker owned so you better be neutral atleast if you go there. Also has the Dromedary

Ummm.. How about approx 1276 profit per unit?

Try Diamonds from Kreuzberg Station in New Berlin at 374
to
New Tokyo at 1650

You go through some small systems that are very fast to travel through. In total this is a fast and profitable run.

Hope this helps

from fort bush in new york to leeds LD14 gives 250000 if you have a humpack (250 cargo)

I'm presuming your talking about trading boron? Buy at Pittsburgh rather than Fort Bush. Then (as was mentioned) sell at LD14 staion in northern Leeds.

The best route I've seen is $1900/unit. From Ruiz Base, omicron beta to California Minor with alien organism. You will loose about 15-20 units, but the profit is still huge.

If your playing SP, this is hands down the best trade route

Planet New Berlin, New Berlin system
Buy Engine Components @ 225
take jumphole to Sigma 13
go to Yanagi Depot
sell Engine Components for 524
Profit 299

Yanagi Depot, Sigma 13 system
Buy Cardamine @ 510
Go back go New Berlin
sell Cardimine for 1,349
Profit 839
Total profit per unit round trip 1,138

Now, alot of people will flame me for saying this is the best route in SP. But this route takes about 4 muinets and 30 seconds round trip including docking, selling, buying, and maping. If you use a humpback (available at New Berlin... how nice), you will make about 3.8 Million an hour. No other trade route can say that.

The drawback is the jumphole is inaccesable in MP... You can still do the run but you have to go through Frankfurt and the time it takes it's not worth it.


If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

Hairfarmer,

You mentioned time used for maping. I assume you are referring to setting waypoints. You can cut some time if you set waypoints for your return trip prior to docking to your destination.

(Well, you can't cut MUCH time, but on a 4 minute run every little improvement helps.)

One that I do alot is Lux food from New London (190 ea) and sell at New Man. for like 1200 ea, or on to Colorado for like 1300 ea

take luxury food from planet cambridge to planet denver
the profit is unbeliveible

ive seen so many of these threads that I'm gonna hurl. no offense. the moderator should just put a sticky on one of threads like these.

"You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you cant pick your friend's nose."

Han Solo - "What an incredible new smell you've discovered [!"

I trade insults with the Xenos. Very profitable

"take luxury food from planet cambridge to planet denver
the profit is unbeliveible"

Yup, pickup Luxury Goods in Denver take to Planet Honshu, pickup Engine Parts or Optical chips in Honshu and take to Planet Cambridge. Nice round trip with each trade making some good money.
