(via Sigma-13 jump hole/Honshu)
Engine Components, New Tokyo-->Planet Denver $600
(via Shikoku/Galileo)
Super Alloy, Planet Denver-->Oder Shipyard $828
(via New York/Texas/Bering/Hamburg)

$2682 profit per tonne. $670,500 for one 30 minute roundtrip in a Humpback!

Easy money, Luvvly Jubbly !

People, people, here is THE trade route to go...

You need to be friendly with Rheinland and the Junkers. Not necessary but being friends with the Red Hessians helps too.

At New Berlin buy Engine Components

Go down the Trade Lane to the Sigma 13 jumphole, its dead close.

Yanagi Depot is very near the jumphole in Sigma 13.

Sell Engine Components and buy Caradmine I think.

Sell them at New Berlin.

I made 1,500,000 in 1/2 hour with this route. Of course, it gets boring running the same jumphole thousands of times

Buy Diamonds at Planet New Berlin $396
Take the New Berlin --> Sigma 13 Jumphole
Take the Sigma 13 --> Honshu Jumpgate
Take the Honshu ---> New Tokyo Jumpgate
Sell at Planet New Tokyo $1650

$1254 per unit
$100 320 in a Rhino
$156 750 in a Clydesdale
$219 450 in a Drone
$313 500 in a Humpback
$344 850 in a Dromedary

Now to find something good on the way back . It's a fairly short run, I'll try to get more details later.

EDIT: Optical chips on the way back

$312 per unit
$24 960 in a Rhino
$39 000 in a Clydesdale
$54 600 in a Drone
$78 000 in a Humpback
$85 800 in a Dromedary

Well, it doesn't make a lot of money, but its good to start off for bigger trade routes.

To start off with a full cargo hold of Diamonds:
$396 per unit
$31 680 in a Rhino
$49 500 in a Clydesdale
$69 300 in a Drone
$99 000 in a Humpback
$108 900 in a Dromedary

You don't need to start off with a full load, but it helps.

if you're not friendly with the outcasts or corsairs, get a humpback or dromedary and get light arms from Detroit munitions to Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta. A long trip but about 200,000 credit profit

Gimme that, you petty excuse of an officer!
Prepare for LUDICROUS SPEED!!!
Ludicrous speed...GO!!!

I used to do engine components from planet new tokyo to freeport 4, or if you are friendly with them, to mactan or montezuma

Buy oxygen from Manhatan> Omega 5

Buy artifacts from Omega 5> Manhatten.

Rinse and repeat.
