Best Trade Route?! (Trade cycle!)

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!

Best Trade Route?! (Trade cycle!)

Hey Peeps! Got a simple question for you brainers to come up with.... my trade route is very effective but time consuming... i was wondering if anyone one of you guys know a trade route that is very profitable and fast to finish... I appreciate the help...


Extra: Trade route for outcasts(other terrorist factions) as well please.... i have two saves one where i am hostile with every living thing except the terrorists, and the other saved is of course the opposite....

I love looking at the posts that people put up. (No offense or anything) You put up your post on the 17th at 12:05 CET, then you answered to your own post 4 minutes later. Just keep your eyes open for stuff like this. Once you get the hang of it, it really is quite interesting. (Or if you want, you can delete this post by clicking the "delete" button)

Getting on the topic I do have a rather good route for starters in MP. Once you have earned yourself 15000 credits or so and a Rhino, buy luxury consumer goods at Manhatten and sell it at Ainu Depot in Hokkaido (GC base), then ship cardamine back. At the start everybody in Kusari is neutral so there is little risk short of a few hackers, xenos, police patrols and the occasional server bully in a VHF. You can't do much about the VHF but a basic Rhino with me at the helm have no trouble at all evading the other three problems. One round trip will get you enough cash to buy 3 Dromedary freighters.

My favorite tour is.
Pittsburg (New York) with Boron at 120 to LD-14 (Leeds) for 960.
Taking up Mox at LD-14 at 96 to New London (New London) for 124 or so.
Taking up Luxury Food at New London at 196 to Denver (Colorado) for 1200+

Risk is mediocre.

Never forget, if you're travelling alone,
-politly ask an other mighty player if they travel in your direction
(question for money are anoying, but helping a youngster with a bit protection is okay for many)
-ask other newbee's to form a convoy, everybody loves moneys. With the puny 20 cargospace, a beginning fighter can make 20k or so.
-scan a cargo convoy, use "hail", they will tell you their origin and destination. Just use "formation" if they go into your direction, and you have a couple of guns more.

Here are a couple of profitable runs (some are long tho')
Alien orgs (perishable) Ruiz->Calif/Cambridge 1900 PPU (profit per unit)
Artifacts (contraband) Omega-5 -> New York 1147 PPU
Luxury Foods (perish) Cambride -> Sigma-19 1440 PPU
Light Arms New York ->Omnicron Alpha 1260 PPU
Cadamine (contraband) Omnicron Alpha -> New York 1200PPU
Diamonds Omega5/11 -> New Tokyo 1452PPU

Have a good frieghter w/ good weapons and learn to use the turret view it made a difference for me. Hope it helps

A neat thing i found was at 'The Ring' in new berlin.
I would launch to find lots of bundustch ships around... blowing them up, PRESTO! tonnes of niobium. tractor the loot, dock with the ring again, sell niobium for a whopping 1440 credits.
Rinse and Repeat.

I like this one. Buy Alien Organisms at Ruiz Base and sell them at Cambridge Research Station. Go on over to Cambridge, buy Gold, and take it to Tripoli Shipyard. Hop on over to Ruiz, and repeat. It gets about 700k in a dromedary, and one run takes about 25 minutes.

I respect any Molly who can get into or out of his base.

What about the return trade route of Planet Cambridge (Luxury Food) to Planet Denver, then Denver (Optronics) to Planet Cambridge, even though you might lose 5 to 10 unit of luxury food the nett gain is about 2,300 credits per unit per round trip. Pirates are softies on the whole of this route, so take them out when you're carrying going to Cambridge and run for it when going to Denver. Easy money

My trade run I used to build up a tidy sum was planet los Angeles (buy boron at low price) take it to Stokes Mining Station in Leeds. It's a little risky if you use the Jump Hole in the Manchester system but if your armed right you can make it. The boron purchas price is about $140 in Los Angeles and sells for $900 at Stokes.

Take a load of berillium from Stokes back to Los Angeles on the return trip. Overall it will net about 100,000 plus per run.

Beryllium sells most at Pueblo and Boron is bought most at LD-14, that'll boost you a bit, oh and Kensington sells Beryllium cheaper than Stokes, also...

Post Fri Jul 04, 2003 8:20 pm

five steps to a quick buck or hundred thou!
1:do jobs till 100-120 000
2:spend ALL money on cardamine @ mactan for +-810
3:sell cardamine @ buffalo (megallan->new york jump gate to go unnoticed)
4nce enough has been made buy dromedary for + cargo space
5:repeat 2-3 20-200 times

P.S. get friendly with outcasts,rouges + hackers or risk getting cargo stolen!
