don't see how this could only take 2 mins with all the ships chasing you. i would think total time one way would be about 7 to 10 mins. I count docking/buying/launching times on my numbers. not just flight time.

set your watch down in front of you, check the time. then buy the first set of items. do all your running around and when you get back to the very point you started from(buying the first item), look at the time again. then post that time here.

i am just gonna guess but i figure its about 14mins under good conditions with ships firing at you. just guessing though because i don't have my humpback atm. i buy and sell my freighter a couple times a week =)

Best Trade Route Yet:

Berlin to Tokyo.
Diamonds from Berlin to Tokyo.
The profit in a Humpback is 420k! Gotta have the Sigma systems for it to be fast though.
I can do 100k with my Falcon.

you need to go both ways for a good trade route though. you make +500k with the one listed above and it takes you back to the start.

Find something to bring all the way back down for a huge profit and then post all of it.

Actualy, it is 2 minutes (counting lifting of from berlin to comming back to berlin).. there is only one jump hole on route, and the ships shooting at you only make me go faster Flight is short enough that you survive by just using the afterburner the whole way. (or on a bad day, some shield batteries)

AAARRGH!!
I Give up! Dangit!!!
Where is the jumphole to Sigma-13 near New Berlin??? Or are you guys playing SP and that hole doesn't exist in MP??
*ggghhh....*

While I'm at it (cause I can't stand having to fly around blind....) - where is Nagagi depot in Sigma 13?

So to combine the Diamond run (Berlin to Tokyo) and the Artifact run *risky*(Nagagi to Berlin) we need a decent profit item for a Tokyo to Nagagi flight. Even if it was something that only made modest profit, the Diamonds & Artifact legs would be worth the effort.

BTW: what's the shortest route between Berlin & Tokyo (system wise).

The berlin -> sigma 13 jumphole is located in E5 in new berlin, just of the trade lane. The Yanagi junker base is located in C5, just S-E of the jumphole.

Here is a quite long run I found in SP, but everything gives a nice profit.

Buy Engine Components on Planet New Tokyo for 225, sell at Planet Cambridge for 1275.
Buy Gold at Planet Cambridge for 543, sell in New Berlin for 1189.
Buy Diamonds in New Berlin for 396, sell on Planet New Tokyo for 1650.

Fly around Omega 11 and wipe out any and all Red Hessions and Bundshuh (there'll be plenty). When you're hold is filled, take the Niobium to Solarius Station next to the planet. 1600 credits for each Niobium there, and never even leaves viewing distance...

The Next Thing I Say To You Will Be True
The Last Thing I Said Was False

Found diamonds at Freiburg station for $308.00. I sell them in New Tokyo for $1639.00. In a humpback that is a $332k one way. Need to figure out two things:
1. What will be the most profitable thing for the return trip from New Tokyo?
2. Can I find jumpholes from Kusari to Rheinland and back again?

just a question: where the hell is the Sheffield Station?!?

Sheffield station is in the Manchester system, right next to Planet Jersey.

Anyone know exactly how much the humpback costs?

i know a trade line. i earn there 900k for a trip (both ways)
dont remeber it sorry buy i know half of it
diamonds buy them at omega 11 and sell in tokyo
buy 213
sell 1650
there is a better place to buy them but its 2 hard sorry

I found the hidden station in Sigma-13, and it was not 'Nagagi', it was 'Yanagi - Junkers Base' at C5.
but i stil can't find the Jumphole near by New Berlin against Sigma13.
i checked all the E5 in New berlin,Sigma-13,Frankfrut and there was no Jumphole.

Maybe you wrong something Chris?
