It''s all about money, isn''t it? (updated)
PART 1
Every business require some money to be invested. What sum of money you have
to have, depends on your strategic choice. Because my way to become rich is
based on cargo trading, I bought a freighter ship with lots of cargo space.
If you have $62,820 buy Dromedary. It have 275 of cargo space and can be
found at Mactan Base in Magellan System. Shield capacity is somewhat low
(3600) and number of shield batteries/nanobots is 23. Note the base is owned
by Lane Hackers, so you have to have good reputation to dock at their base.
If your reputation isn't good enough (below neutral), try looking for some
person in bars who can hack it for you. But be warned, the price is high!
The alternative to Dromedary ship is Humpback. It have 250 of cargo space,
shield capacity of 5800 and number of shield batteries/nanobots is 33. So, at
cost of 25 cargo space it have much stronger shield capacity and more shield
batteries/nanobots than Dromedary. But the price is not low. For $170,940 it
can be found at the following locations:
SYSTEM / PLANET / FACTION
------------------------------------
Tau-31 / Harris / Planetform
Frankfurt / Holstein / Daumann
Hamburg / Hamburg / Police
New Berlin / New Berlin / Police
Stuttgart / Stuttgart / Police
I would not recommend upgrading weapons too much, because cargo ships are not
combat-style ships. Just buy something you can defend with, in case you spot
some enemies. We're not here to spend money, we're here because of profit.
Highly recommended is requiring Adv. Countermeasure Dropper and Rares because
with the ship you bought, you will run away most of the time, and then comes
time when enemies hit you with whatever they can. Without Countermeasures you
won't get away because enemies have tons of Missiles and Cruise Disruptors.
Now... hmmm... remember when I was talking that in every business you must
have to invest something? Yes, more money! I gues you have a few bucks left?!
$100,000 would be ideal, but you can do it even with $1,000. It's better to
buy more stuff and fill the cargo space to full, because you will gain profit
at a much faster rate than with $1,000. Hard to explain, but believe me, the
more money you have, the better your business will go.
Shortly speaking, you will have to buy one good at some place, sell it to the
buyer at the other place, and on the way back do the same thing with some
other commodity at different locations, but on the same path (same
waypoints). So, when you return the the place you start at, you will have
your profit doubled! Ship's cargo space will be as efficient as it can be, it
will be empty only small part of the whole way. The route is really a golden
route!!! It's somewhat long (about 40 minutes for both ways), but believe me,
it pays off. Here's the whole trade procedure and some math (with Dromedary):
1. Buy Niobium at Planet Kyushu, Kyushu System
275 x $415 = $114,125
2. Sell Niobium at Leipzig Station, Dresden System
275 x $1,600 = $440,000
So if you calculate, your profit is $325,875 !!! ... not bad
On the way back visit these places:
3. Buy Diamonds at Bautzen Station, Dresden System
275 x $330 = $90,750
4. Sell Diamonds at Planet New Tokyo, New Tokyo System
275 x $1,650 = $453,750
If I'm right, your profit is $363,000 !!! ... what about this?
So when you sum all this together, your total profit is:
$325,875
+$363,000
--------
$688,875 (now that's called real money!)
And all of this in 40 minutes. Repeat this a couple of times and buy Titan
ship, torpedoes, missiles, mines and all other kick-ass weaponary! And you
ask why?! Why all this when you have trainers for the game and save game
decoders? Well, I hate cheating and it also ruins the gameplay. My way, you
have much more fun and challenge from the game, than freezing shield/power
values, money cheating and killing whatever you see. Blah! Leave that alone!
