1 Million credits (level 20 - 37 in 45 minutes)

Engine parts from new berlin thru the warphole near new berlin to Sigma 13, sell at that little depot (I think yanagi station or something, its like 4-5k from the warphole inside of Sigma 13) Buy Cardamine there and return it to new berlin. The run is VERY short, but you WILL die quite often coming back thru the warphole returning with the cardamine to new berlin cause often there will be 10+ hessians there waiting for you and not even god himself could escape.

Your best tactic to get away is to drop countermeasures as fast as you can press the button and activate cruise engines (works about 70 percent of the time) -- If you die it will reload you right as you came out of the warp hole to new berlin just before you died, and there are almost NEVER any hessians when it reloads its always bounty hunters. I've never once seen hessians after getting killed and reloading.

Berlin police scan you on every trip, on the OUTBOUND leg toward sigma (when you have engine parts) -- but they have NEVER ONCE scanned me coming with the cardamine.

This is the trade run I did for a long time to build up my funds. It is incredibly long so I don't know if it's the best but it does make alot of credit.
Diamonds from new berlin to New Tokyo.

Engine parts from New Tokyo (planet honshu if you have the patience) to Freeport 4 in magellan

Take what ever from Freeport 4 to Kensingto shipping platform for a minor profit

Then take Beryllium from Kensingto to The Ring above Planet New Berlin. That puts you back at New Berlin to get diamonds and do it all over again. The sigma and omega systems help make this shorter but it's still quite long. But it does make insane profits and as long as you haven't pissed too many factions off...the pirates aren't very threatening.....merely annoying.

Here's a good trip for a newbie in a rhino.

Buy Light Arms from Planet Houston, Texas. Sell at Freeport 2, Bering. Buy H-Fuel there and take it back to Houston. All in all about $30k in profit for a quick jump to another system. Good for making money to buy a humpback

-Stregone

Best Route ever
New Tokyo Niobium $512 to The Ring ( station next to New Berlin) $1440 {928$ per ton (humpback $232000)}

New Berlin Diamonds $396 to New Tokyo $1650 {$1254 per ton (hunchback $313500)}

so that's $545000 for a full hunchback every route takes roundabout 10 mins

I found the jump hole.(thank you for the screenshot SupterTrap)
but it appears for me 'Unknown Object' and can't dock.
do i need some special Reputation?
i'm neutral with Junkers and Cossairs are hostile for me.
why i couldn't find the jumphole is it's not appears on my NAV map
cause it's Unknown object. can't even access.

Anyone help me?
(i can access to the Frankfurt <-> Sigma13 Jumphole)

You can carry 250 diamonds in a humpback, so it would sell for 412,500 in Tokyo.
Hunchback or Humpback? I got my ship in Stuttgart it might be a different one.
Then ya the Niobium to the Ring, right on. I missed that, and bought Optical chips and took them to Essen station in New Berlin, which was only 110,000 profit.

quote:
The best / most profitable / shortest trade run i've done is:

- buy consumer goods at new berlin ($120)
- Fly to the nearby jump hole to sigma-13
- Fly to nagagi depot, sell consumer goods ($320)
- Buy artifacts ($200)
- Fly back to new berlin, sell artifacts ($1100)

about $250.000 profit per trip, but only a 3 point travel.. so takes about 2 minutes to complete(!!) best way to make a few bucks that i've found in the game

Do note, there will be fighters at both sides of the jump hole shooting at you, plus try to avoid the police at new berlin when arriving there, but with some decent running skills, it's the best way to get some extra loot

i have 100000000000000000000 trade line, i am the king of the univers
you buy condoms in berlin and sell them in omicron theta, you make 10000000000000000 money in one trip. who is the horse HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh, losers!!!!!!!!

There's another very good trade line if you're on good terms with the Outcasts. Buy alien organisms at Ruiz in Sigma-19 for $100 each. Hustle them over to Planet Juyo in Shi***u, selling them for $1,300 each there. That's not that many jumps, either. And even if you get lane hacked a few times, you'll only lose less than 10 organisms. So if you're using the Humpback, that's about $280,000+ per run. You can make even more money if you bring pharmaceuticals from Shinjuku in New Tokyo back to Ruiz.
