Trade Routes?

[Jockgit64]

Anyone sussed out any lucrative Trade Routes in the new Beta 3 build?

Particularly runs that can be made in a Hauler with 8 Ton Cargo capacity, want to build up some credits to get a better FSD.

Yeah I have seen the tools, but I was thinking more "insider trading" rather than relying on info from other parties.

How about that for a trade run mission..............

A very basic trade route is:

1. Aulin (Aulin Enterprises): Buy consumer tech or Progenitor Cells
2. Styx (Chu Hub): Sell above, buy Indium.
3. Aulin (Aulin Enterprises): Sell Indium at Aulin
4. Repeat

Not very exciting though... but if you just need to do something quickly for cash to grab uprades to go further out in the pill that might be one way.

If I recall correctly the Consumer Tech or Cells come to around 900-1000cr profit per tonne. Indium is less of a profit but it's just a nice thing to take back if there are no missions to Aulin.

A good idea is to always check the mission boards first to see if you can make better profits from those though! (Like the above screencap!). From what I gather the best trade is out in further in the pill where it's not as populated, naturally.

Cheers for that.

Nicely done

I made 156,000 credits finding 4 tonnes of Palladium. Someone sure was desperate for it! The best bit was the system next door which was under a 3 light year jump was a major exporter so the job was done in 10 minutes!

I haven't really done that much trading, I find the Bulletin boards are full of nice missions. Sometimes you have to take a few lower paid ones but now and again you get the big hitters for 60,000 credit upwards. The key is to use the Galaxy map to find where is exporting the stuff you need and just go for it. Usually these type of missions have a long timescale so just keep looking at the Galaxy map and don't panic.

Not strictly trade routes but I've seen bounties around the starting systems of 150k plus. I know there is no way I can take them in my little sidewinder or eagle but somebody with a better and better equipped ship should be able to.

I've also found that Azeban Orbital often has missions asking for 2-4 tons of Silver which pay out around 2x the market price of the commodity. An added bonus is that you can buy silver in Chango Dock for a little under 5k a pop. I made 21k hauling only 2 tons of silver this way, and although that's probably small fry for you lot it's big money for a newbie.

Thank you Aves, just the kind of info I was looking for, but keep pulling in those hauls and it won't be long before you have your own upgraded ship, we all started in the Sidey, thats what I love about this game, level playing fields, and hopefully when it goes to release, and we are all back at ground zero, we can pull together and help each other out.

I have a feeling it is going to be a bigger, badder, universe out there when it goes to Release, we need to stick together, that is until Kharma decides to blast your back doors in....
