Recently I posted a message in which I explained how to become rich in no
time (trading with Niobium and Diamonds). Now I have the complete list of all
planets and stations in Freelancer universe, so I give this list to all of
you who are interested in which commodity makes more money. Some tell that
it's best to trade with Cardamine, until today I thought it was Niobum and
Diamonds, but it's hard to determine which is the best way. It's not just the
type of commodity that matters, a variety of other factors like how much you
must travel from one location to another (buy-sell), how much waypoints are
in question and whether or not there are hostile targets, are important as
well. It's all up to you to choose which commodity will you trade with.

First line shows commodity name, second where to buy it at the lowest price,
trird where it's best to sell it (based on price), fourth what profit would
you make, and the last line shows the best path which you should go (based on
the number of systems you must go through, before you reach destination). If
there are more places to buy from or sell to, they are seperated with commas
and the system they are in is placed in brackets. If there is only one
location then planet or station is separated from it's system by comma
(sorry, I couldn't make it more complicated!). All of the commodities are
sorted by profitability, so you can see what is best and what really sucks!
All numbers are calculated based on 275 units of cargo space (Dromedary
ship). So, traders, don't wait and get into business!
