Yes its not really a treade route you mine the goods:
Fly to Omicron Theta E3, mine there some Alien Organisms then use the Sigma 17 Jumphole, land on Planet Kurile F5 and sell the Alien Organisms foor 600.
(Mining 250 goods will take 3 minutes and you only have to fly 10K to the planet Kurile).

thank you for your idea,.. ill try. ; )

u can try this, its piracy but against the NPC.

pick up good spot where transports with good stuff arives there
get a drom sit there and wait for them keep scaning..
when they come blow them take the loot and sell it.

if they do not come use f1 again and again until something good comes out.

if you can not handle the NPC ships get your fighting character in the same spot better if its class10 ship. start scaning and blowing cargo ships, then use f1 switch to the frighter char take the loot and sell it on the base.
your trading char should be neutral to all faction in the system (I make it nuetral to all factions in the galaxy)

good places to do that:
(I do not do it alot since I enjoy doing 200k+ missions)
near manhatin (all house capital systems are good)
near planet cambrige
near any freeport since there u can dock anytime (zoners are neutral to all factions do not kill zoners droms) most freeports have hight trafic of transports.

The most profitable run (not short though) is Pueblo to Tau-31 Gate Consturction Site in Tau-23. 10X profit margin.
That's right. $140 Credits for trade lane parts in Pueblo, sells for $1400 Credits in Tau-31 Gate. Do the run in a ship with a 250 or bigger cargo hold and you are rolling in cash after doing it twice. Tau-31 Gate sells almsot nothing though :S

That route's kinda dangerous. Either Navy/Outcasts in Kepler/Galileo, and then Kusari Cops/Criminals wanting your cargo, and then the massive radiation run...I find it's not worth it.

As a Humpback freighter pilot (got tired of making very little money, or losing money, on all those multiplayer missions) I try to avoid "dangerous" routes.

Although due to my fighter pilot past I do need to do some Corsair, Outcast, Red Hessian, Unioner, Golden Chrysanthemum, Blood Dragon and Hogosha bribing.

But here are some "short" (a relative term) routes to consider (I am looking for shorter/more lucrative routes):

Buy Diamonds at Freiberg Station for 308, sell at Planet New Tokyo for 1650.

Buy Engine Components at New Tokyo for 225, sell at Freeport 4 for 1350.

Deadhead it back to Planet Manhattan. (I can't find a real good profit for that trip)

Buy Luxury Goods at Planet Manhattan for 180, sell at Planet Baden-Baden for 1260.

Then take a quick trip back to Freiberg (about 2 stops or so) and start all over again.

I would be interested in hearing more of these...

My favorite is: buy Cardamine at Yanagi Depot (junkers) in Sigma 13. Jump to Frankfurt from the Jump hole south of the depot then jump to New Berlin and avoid the fuzz until planet New Berlin. Buy engine components for the way back. Very quick, just watch out for pirates and cops.

Yeah, I agree with Ory.
It was the best one that I have found personally.
Also if your ship is not good enough to take on the Police,
just select dock with the planet as soon as you leave the trade lane.
That way when they ask you to drop your cargo just do nothing,
and your ship with autopilot you to dock with the planet
while the police wait for an answer!

Why not use the New Berlin Jump Hole just north of Yanagi? You come out right next to the trade lane to New Berlin.......

Easier !

ShiftViper 5, mine's not dangerous if you are neutral to the following: Corsairs, Hackers, GC, Blood Dragons, Outcasts. All lawful people recommend be neutral or better. You CAN do it without an attack. I have.

"Xenos, the breakfast of champions" -YowuLing

If you're neutral with the Corsairs, you can buy Artifacts at the Omega 5 system, then just use the Cambridge jump hole to take them to New London (MASSIVE PROFIT)

I'm making record time!
If only I had someplace to be...

Good easy run very short to but buying the cargo is costly
625 for cardamine at rochester (junker base North of manhatten)
1500 at Manhatten(something like this)
basically 2x profit with only the Xenos to brother me (hehe everyone but xenos neutral to me)

Cuz that only works in SP, not MP.

My route is usually just Lux Consumer Goods from NYC > Ainu, and Card on the flip.
Edit: Not short, medium I'd call it.

The best SHORT route is to buy Engine Components at Freiburg in Stuttgart for 375. Sell at Freistadt in Omega-7, only two tradelanes away, for 825, which is 450 profit. Take Silver on the return trip for 140 profit. The entire trip is just two tradelanes and one jump; you can do a round-trip in 5 minutes for $160k profit in a Dromedary.

In single player, the best short route is Engine Components from Planet New Berlin to Yanagi Depot in Sigma 13, via the jump hole that you take as part of the storyline. Take Cardamine on the return trip. This nets a ridiculous profit of over 1300 per unit for an 8 minute round trip.
