I can say that there are trade runs that are very lucrative, much more than you can really get in the demo. If you want details, try checking out the spoiler forum where you can get info on specific trade routes, etc. Obviously the best trade routes are those that get you the most money over the shortest distance. Some routes can be as profitable as 3 or 4 or 5 hundred THOUSAND credits. Not bad. The best thing to do is land on every base you can and start comparing commodity prices. Buying a freighter is a good idea too, as it holds more cargo room, but you sacrifce agility and dogfighting ability.

Suffice it to say you have only just scratched the surface of this game with the demo. If you are enjoying it, get the full version and you shouldn't be dissapointed.

As for the mods, I don't know if they would work on the demo or not. I have not installed any of the mods yet, so I can't really comment.



Those are my thoughts, not yours, I'm WapCaplet[!

There's a way to get a whole lotta money really quickly in the demo. It's completely free, but there is some risk involved. I think it also ends the demo, though, because it's about 30,000. That would level you to 2, and end the demo. It's you're choice, though. It's probably really helpful in the full game. Anyway, head for West Point and jump to the Ithica research station. Then, fly to the "north west" and just fly around that area for a while. If you get anywhere near the jump gate, you've gone too far. Try setting multiple waypoints. Keep the "solars" selection on, and fly around for a while. You should eventually come across a pirate wreck. Shoot it once or twice, and it drops 20 packages of Cardamine. Tractor those in, and head for Manhattan. Be really careful though, it is contraband, and the feds'll nail you if they scan it. Planet Manhattan has the best price for this in the entire game, i think. It's 1500 a pop, so you'll make a cool 30,000. But, I think that ends the demo.
