Routes for a zoner whaler? - HoakinBlackforge - 05-05-2020

Im trying to find out what are the usual routes for a whaler. I want to try out as a zoner for a while.

You can try, Hydrocarbons and Iridium Ore, works pretty good.

Thats mining, im talking about commodity trading, im alone at this.

Also, the buying points and selling points are not written there.

FLCompanion has the commodity routes and their Credit profit per second, so the only thing you'd need to do is rule out any route that starts or ends in the Houses. It's honestly a hassle but there were a good few routes that actually weren't horrible for a whale. I've just forgotten it all.

The selling points are in the 2nd post.

The buying points are at a local POB near to the Mining Fields. I know Tau-53 is regularly kept full. I have no idea about the Iridium Ore, though.

As for Routes, I just find something that sells for cheap and look on the Trade places that I have been to, to see where it sells high. I then, on the way, 'pop' in to Bases that I have never been to. This increases my repertoire of potential sell points for the future.

Also, i forgot to point this out, a zoner whale cannot dock into house space.

Quite a dumb rule to be honest.

I am quite aware of the Rule.
