profitable runs in Bretonia space

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!

profitable runs in Bretonia space

I am up to level 10 in the story and awaiting mission 4. I am stranded in Bretonia space waiting for Juni to call me and can't go back to Liberty space because there is a $1Million price on my head. I've got $25k in the bank. I've made my loot by killing Mollys. In Bretonia they pay an average of $5k per mission against the Mollys but this is getting old very fast. I am sick of killing bad guys for a living and want to make some serious dough in order to get the really good ships/guns/turrets, etc.
Just from reading posts in this forum I learned of one profitable trade route which I will start tonight after work.
1. Machine parts from Leeds to New London. $250.00 profit per unit.
I am looking for other profibable items to make money. Any tips appreciated.
Regards,
Daddyo

Well, running diamonds from Cambridge to Leeds is pretty profitable. It says that they sell engine parts at both Leeds and Stokes, but I haven't seen them (see other post).

Also apparently there is a jump hole from Cambridge to Leeds. I haven't found it yet, but it would be really handy to avoid the 13 waypoint trade lane back and forth.

If I remember correctly, diamonds in Cambridge are 1200, and they sell for 1850.

engine parts can be sold @ Freeport 4 for 1350. On pirate bases Mactan and Montezuma, in Magellan and Cortez... one jumphole away, they will buy them for 1424.

Where do you buy cheap engine parts :?

Diamonds from Cambridge to New London = Profit of 177 unit
Luxury Consumer Goods from New Londont to Cambridge = Profit 180 per unit

With a freighter with 125 Cargo that is 44,625 credits per round trip. Since they are only two jumps apart, I'd say that's pretty good.

Leeds => Cambridge (Optronics)
980 => 1329
Cambridge => Leeds (Diamonds)
879 => 1275

If you want to make friends with the Lane Hackers, it might be worth a visit to Mactan Base, Magellan (via Leeds jump hole). Buy a dromedary and trade like mad. With this ship it's a 200k round trip, via New London both ways (about 20 mins).

If you want only two trade lanes route and one jump gate in between, go to holman base in TAU-31 buy niobium for 320 sell at Stokes minning station in Leeds system for 640. It's only one way though. But on your way back you can stop at Glasgow station buy pharmaceuticals and sell them at holman for around 100 profit per unit.

ownage is such a capitalistic term.
