okay, I'm a little confused. what makes more money than traderoutes/mining that owning a POB wouldn't offset? Those things are expensive.

POBs are optional. They are not a money sink for you if you don't want them to be.

fair enough. but when a single character has 2.1 billion credit limit, it takes a long time to make up that kind of cash. The best trade route I've found so far has a max of about 25-26mil per run. Are there faster ways to make money?

I bloody hope not. The cash inflation in Disco is already silly, we don't need more. If anything about money generation needs to be changed it's missions abysmal risk-reward.

And how much more money could you make if you had an even bigger cargo hold? Exactly. Trading is already silly-powerful thanks to scaling off cargo bay combined with capital-size traders. It doesn't need more.

well if I bumped the Bison up to a 5ker I could make over 100?

RE: 5k limit on transport freighters - Inferno - 07-18-2016

Great, you got all of our attention now.

Is it Nomad remains? Scrap? Massive amounts of Contraband?

If you have a second or third person, you'd probably be able to make a lot of money running BMMs to Leeds. Transport cargo holds coupled with a Freighter for an orbit-to-surface shuttle.
