and don´t forget to say the time it takes, thats the most important part about it, finding a route that gains you 300k is not the problem, finding one that gains you just 100k but in 3 minutes is imo more important.

Please use this format:
(this is only an example)

Multiplayer - Diamonds
Stokes Mining Station - System Cambridge : 800
Planet Leeds - System Leeds: 1200

My favorite by far due to relative "shortness" of the trip and the loads of money you make:

Take luxery consumer goods from planet Manhattan in the NY system to planet Baden Baden in the Stuttardt system. Pick up Diamonds from either Freisberg station (Stuttgart still) or the LWB base Darmstadt (again Suttgart) which is off the beaten path and cheaper than Freisberg. Take the Diaomonds back to planet Manhattan..rinse repeat. In a Rhino it's about 80k-120k on each trip, but in a Humpback (also bought in Stuttgart) the rate of return is right aorund 300K each way. This is a 5 system trip and can be done on average of 20 minutes per trip. Keep in mind there are Unionists, Xenos, Lane Hackers, Red Husseins, Bloodhounds, Outcasts, Bruchends (sp?) and any number of other factions you might not be on good terms with lying in wait at just about every trade lane. Running cargo puts a big red target on you and everyone can see it from many clicks away.

Hmm 20 minutes, I guess the la - freeport trip is than still better ... and if you get a real heavy frighter it might be even in the profit per run aswell I make about 300 profit per unit, with a frighter with 250 cargo it would be 300x250= 75 000 per run, and you can make 3 runs in 20 minutes without even to hurry much

Ok, Edited with the base names :

By favorite trade route so far is taking pharmaceuticals from Shinjuku Station in New Tokyo (or Aomori Station in Honshu its closer), selling at Ruiz base in Omicron Beta, profit about 250k. Then I buy Alien Organisms at Ruiz and sell them at Shinjuku, profit about 300k. This is not bad for only a few systems away. Also, it lets you swipe the lvl 10 guns while your in Omicron Beta, for another possible 100k or so. Note that the Ruiz base is in the Border Worlds and you will have to be nuetral to the Outcasts. When doing this run, be as quick as possible; I have had lots of pirates TRY to demand I drop my cargo, but by the time I would have had to answer, they are too far away and I get away without a faction hit.

Luxury Food sells for around 1050 or so @ Lieden base in Galileo. I like to set up near the Raiden Bend and scan for cargo. If I see Sidearms, Silver, Diamonds, or Luxury Foods, I'm gonna ice it and haul it to either Lieden base or New Tokyo. Huge Profits, with no down payments. Other than that.. engine parts @ the Ring 2 FP 4 (225, 1350), then run something over to Kensington to buy Beryllium @ 192 to sell back @ the Ring for 1200. PPL run around screamin they just made 300k per trip, but LOL, they including the purchase on which they get a return as profit. Too funny. Piracy is truly the ONLY way to make in excess of 150k PROFIT per run.

The ring ....

thats bull****
its easy to find something that will give you 1000 credits profit per unit, and with a good frigher this are than 275k
now find something where you can get at the way back aswell profit, and its possible to get more than 300k GAIN per run.

But well, atm I using la (cal system) > freeport 4 (magelan sys) runs, 6-8 minutes per run, gives me 300 per unit I carry, I hunting now xenos for the 275 cargo frighter, which will give me a enough money than per run to make a huge amount of reserves to explore than the border worlds.

Supporter and Founder of the :p for smilies Campange

We want :p

Aye, it's crap that Piracy is the only way, completely wrong.

My current trade route nets 680k per run (there and back) PROFIT, just under 1m total income.

Just experiment and explore, lot's to be found.

wat route is that?

Its only illegal if you get caught

SINGLE PLAYER ONLY !!!

Planet New Berlin, New Berlin, -> Yanagi Depot, Sigma 13 -> Planet New Berlin, New Berlin

Buy Engine Components @ 225 and sell @ 524 Profit 299 per tonne
Buy Cardamine @ 510 and sell at 1,349 Profit 839 per tonne
Total profit per tonne per round trip 1,138

Time taken for a round trip LESS THAN 5 MINUTES! (12 – 14 round trips per hour)

So if you get yourself a dromedary (275 cargo) you could earn in excess of 4 MILLIONS per hour 1138 x 275 x 13=4,068,350

JUNI - Not tonight, Trent, I have a headache. Pass the Cardamine, will you?

I found a pretty good trade route. Buy Jump Gate/Trade Lane Parts(140 each) at Pueblo Station-Colorado and sell then sell them at the Tau31 Gate Constrution Site-Tau23 for 1400(1260 profit each)

Buy Beryllium(300 each) at the Tau31 Gate Constrution Site-Tau23 and sell it at Pueblo Station-Colorado for 1020(720 profit each)

Incoming fire has the right of way.

Thanks PETRU for sharing that with us, you,re a star.............not.
this is my route, and i don,t use guns at all just countermeasures and shield batteries and nano bots , i avoid fights by legging it and haven,t died yet . kensington shipping platform (berylium) to newark station, manhattan to berlin (lux con goods) berlin to tokyo (diamonds) Deshima to cambridge (optronics)then back to kensington for a new run i know there is a couple of little gaps but a round trip is about a million profit or thereabouts. also for any newbies the easiest and shortest trip is fort bush (h-fuel) to baltimore shipyard, then baltimore shipyard(scrap metal) to fort bush, they,re so close you will soon affford a rhino freighter, takes maybe 20 seconds from one to the other.
