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!

See my account posted in the thread "Making Money."

I made close to $3 million credits running Niobium from New Tokyo to the Ring and Diamonds from New Berlin back using the big Rheinland freighter.

I'd love to know how you include screenshots in these posts, but I wouldn't take up your bandwidth to do it.

There are two routes: you can use jumpholes and go from N Tokyo to Honshu to Chugoku to Sigma to New Berlin, or avoid Chugoku by using the gates and go through Frankfurt. The advantage of the latter is that by going through Frankfurt you avoid those Red Hessians that cluster about the jump hole to New Berlin from Sigma.

So I made my cash, lit out for Crete and bought a Titan!!!

Got it all fitted out with 4 Nomad cannons with 4 Nomad blasters in reserve. (I had picked up 2 Diamondbacks and 2 Onyx thingees from wrecks during the trade runs and used those on the Titan to convince the Nomads to part with their stuff). I'm keeping all the class 10 weapons and trying out mix and match loadouts for all those folks the Corsairs don't like.

Life is good at level 38 with a Titan and class 10 stuff.

The Ronneburg/Leeds run isn't bad at all. What you take back, as far as I know, is light arms from New London (buy at 350, sell at 1255). If you're neutral to Corsairs and Hessians (killing bounty hunters does that for you nicely) you can do this run in a Dromedary... just don't go through the minefields. It's actually quicker and much safer to go around Hammen Hole at cruise than try to pick your way through the minefields encircling it. I'll have to try the triangle route sometime, but the best colony run I found was Boron from Liberty to Stokes Mining station, then Optronics from Leeds to New London, then Lux Food back to Manhattan. Shorter than the triangle, and worth about 600K per round trip.
