How to get filthy rich in less than an hour (only in MP)
> Leave Manhattan, and blow up any transports/trains/freighters you see, but after EACH one select a new character, but select the player you were just using
> When youve got a full cargo hold sell the stuff over at Baltimore Shipyard (you get more for stuff like Beryllium, Optical Chips, Pharmaceuticals, etc.) Repeat this till youve got about 25k (it doesnt take long trust me - it took me less than 1/2 an hour to get 25k, blowing up transports full of Optical Chips, Light Arms, Niobium(very nice) and Luxury Consumer Goods)
> When youve got enough, buy a Rhino and a cargo hold full of Luxury Consumer Goods from Planet Manhattan.
> Then set the best path to sector 5D in the Hokkaido system.
> When you get there, land on Ainu Depot (the GC base - you'll be automatically neutral with these)
> Sell your Luxury Consumer Goods for $1440k each. You'll now have about 110k. Then buy a hold full of Cardamine and head back to Manhattan.
> On the way back, stop off at Planet New Tokyo and buy a Drone (the Kusari freighter) then fill up the rest of your cargo hold with Optical Chips (buy for $88 and sell at Baltimore Shipyard for $216) while you're there.
> Then make your way back, being careful not to be scanned by Police and Navy.
> When you get to Baltimore Shipyard (its enroute to Manhattan from the Colorado gate) sell your Optical Chips. You'll now have about 90k.
> Then sell the Cardamine at Planet Manhattan for $1500. You will now have about 230k.
> Repeat till you're filthy rich! And at 230k a time for only 5 system jumps, you can't grumble!
However, on the second time round, you can then buy a full hold in your drone of Cardamine, that way your making an extra $1100 x 95= $105k

With a cargo hold of about 80000, there's no stopping you getting millions from one trade run, especially the one above!
If you get bored with this trade route, buy Luxury Consumer Goods from Planet New Tokyo for $810 each, then sell at Ainu Depot for $1440 each!
*EDIT 1*
1) Placed the bit at the bottom about being bored
*EDIT 2*
1) Added the paragraph between "If you get bored" and the trade route tactics
