the QUESTION: best SHORT route and max. profit

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!

the circle run...

start in NY, buy luxury consumer goods, head to manchester, dump at the luxury liner
head to cambridge, buy beryllium at cardiff, head to rheinland, sell at the ring.
buy diamonds at solaris, had to kusary, dump at New tokyo
Buy optitronics at honshu, head to cambridge, dump at the planet, repeat from cardiff station section.

My personal favourite:

Planet New London (small arms) <--> Leon Base {Corsairs} (Artifacts)

Two jumps in between the two places, earns like 2000 credits per unit space per round trip.

shortest route (profit is around 33 credtis a cargohold a round)

fort bush <-> baltimore shipyard

h-fuel from fort bush, scrap metal from baltimore shipyard.

Diamonds from New Berlin to New Tokyo. On default alliances, once you're out of Rheinland you're 99% safe, and you make a nice profit. Go through Frankfurt, Sigma-13, then on to Honshu and safety. May not be the BEST route ever, but it's what i do when I need cash.

Hmm, it may be a little while after, but here it goes.....I dont know if it has been said b4 though.

Go to california, and buy at planet los angeles the engine components.

Then go to i think Magellan?? whichever is the freeport and sell it there. it has been the best short route i have ever found/done. you buy for about 900 and sell around 1100-1200

I will be your worst nightmare

Oh dammit you guys!!!!!!
Best thing to do is buy gold at Graves Station (Dublin) and sell it at Tripoli Shipyard (Omi. Gamma) and run artifacts back to Manhattan!!!!!
(Long trip, major $$$ )

One I just found today was High Temperature alloy 40CR in leipzig in dresden, take it to Southampton Shipyard and sell for 800CR ! I know its 4 or 5 jumps away but theres never any really nasty competition down there. Makes me 53,000 profit in my Hammerhead...

what is the best traderoute while staying in the house system off 1 house (so no use off independance, border and edge worlds)???

the most traderoutes leave the house or just begin in the border or edge worlds

well, I'd say this:

new york: buy Luxury Consumer Goods
Travel via tradelanes and jumpgates to Planet New London to sell the Lux goods
At Planet New London, buy Luxury Food (careful, its perishable)
bring it back to planet manhattan by tradelanes.

u lose 5-7 lux food per run if u dont fight (run away from criminals with afterburner + engine kill).

buy lux goods for 180, sell for 630
buy lux food for 192, sell for 1200

Also, any time u happen to be going from liberty to rheinland, bring Lux Consumer Goods from manhattan (180 creds) to Planet Baden Baden in stuttgart i think. they sell for 1600 there - with a drom thats ALOT of money. but route is too long for a constant run. (just if u happen to be passing by)

Orillion: So trent, will you help us with the mission?

Trent: Sure, as long as I'm not shot at, knocked out, held at gunpoint, electrocuted, skewered alive by giant alien shapeshifters, have to dive out windows, or fight off spindly nomad incubi.

In the early missions, try H-fuel to Detroit Munitions, and then Light Arms back to Manhatten. You might also want to try (if you are feeling stupid), Cardimine runs from Buffalo (assuming you have the rep) to Rochester, or Rochester to Manhatten (if you can take it). Otherwise, that is all I have for right now.

uhmm... realy stupid... i did that run million times from buffalo and got a few times scanned just before docking a tradeline or before landing on manhattan, thus cops are realy stupid to not scan you earlier (especial when piracting back and have some escorts on your six )

I haven't seen any, but can you see pirates do some runs so you can join them for protection?

Post Mon Apr 19, 2004 4:24 pm

here's one for you: h-fuel from mannhatten to detroit munitions, sidearms to Montezuma base, Cortez (exactly opposite Planet Curacao), cardamine to mannhatten. repeat until you don't want anymore credits (and if you evr don't want more credits: WHAT ARE YOU SMOKIN' MAN????!!!!!)
