There is one also from Cardiff station in Cambridge to the Ring, and its all trade laned.. makes a nice profit, you then get engine parts and run them back to Cambridge.
Or you can help the Zoners out, and Brave the Corsairs as they are settled there as well - by going to Omega 49, Gran Canaria, buying Dueterium and shipping it to whereever, actually, one of the most profitable runs for it it is right through Corsair space... if you're feeling brave - That ones not a good round trip though, only good for one way. There are good round trips from Gran Canaria though, specially if you're a smuggler.
Then there is the route from NY to LD14 in Leeds...
A good RP route, but it doesnt net much profit, is to take food to planet Crete - the Corsairs want it, and you can RP with them on your way in and out.
Round trip for outcasts, Texas to Omicron Alpha and back again...
@Tenrik: Man, my hat is off. You are awesome. Thats a great modification of an existing route to prove that you roleplay and actually CARE.
Yanno what annoys me, more than half traders say that pirates should work for their money. I really think it's vice versa, and I believe traders aren't working at all right now. Some are, like up mentioned bloke, and some others I met last night, but cmon people.. Work isn't clicking f2 and f3 when able.
Excellent trade routes are mentioned here.
Prisoners to omega 3, then some of them to OPG then continue trough o7 wherever you need to go.
Take back engine components trough omega 7 and omega 3, stop in omega 3, some go to OPG and you're in cambridge!
It's like Vips - Alien organisms route only I don't need to travel anywhere at all to sell commodities. Cadiz takes it all.
But Ivan, docking tradelanes, and running all around the galaxy with jun... err commodities is a lot more work than sitting there with a disrupted tradelane and asking for contributions;)(the trader POV)
Running Plutonium to Mull base is worth quite a bit, too bad the return trip isn't quite as good.
My Zoner has been in Crete a few times with food, too bad corsairs are stingy with their credits for that. I always "pad" my cargo with something they do pay for... wouldn't do to overfeed them, and have me there, underpaid.
I've tried to forget, I've tried SO HARD to forget...
A good run for the yearning unlawfuls is to take Gold from Lazurite Base, and take it to Tripoli Shipyard, at which point you load up on H-Fuel and take it to Lazurite Base. No one ever bothers you, and it pulls in an easy profit for a pretty much autopiloted run...
That is how my first smuggler started, and I wouldn't do it any other way...
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
I'ld take a cut of that gold =)
Buys cadiz plenty of food and pharma:D
Either way, it goes a longer way than sitting on a lane and asking for donations, but yeah, I asume some find that easyer than undock f2, f3, f2, f3, f2, f3, f2, f3, commodities, sell, commodities, buy, undock, f2, f3, f2...
Bit automated. bit saaad;)
and alot bigger profit than with pirate. I'm happy if I earn 10mil a day with pirating cargo, and you earn it in two runs. everything goes with pros and cons.
Good route i'ld reccomend? I guess just an addition to the vip aliens route. You can take the water to freeport in theta and organisms from there for 2extra mil and 2 more minutes. mil a minute isn't that bad.
There's that loong smuggler route isn't there, like artifacts to manhattan, software to mollies base, gold to tripoli and artifacts to manhattan again.
' Wrote:Oh? Shortcuts? These Are?? because im always too lazy to go to kyushu for the extra 200$ but what are the shortcuts?
Shortcut? Why, you go through Liberty house, of course!
P.S. - Make sure you mention to the lawfuls that the diamonds are from Rheinland, and on your way back, that the Niobium is for Rheinland also (Niobium is sometimes used for war materials or something like that).
ADDED: By the way, peoples, stop telling all these superOORP trade routes, because all he's going to do is go and save up for some ubar shipz and capwhore anyways.
Uh, the Diamond/Niobium run that runs better than Prisoners and Engine Components involves SO many places a trader would never dare go. I guess I'll have to go Wilde it up sometime...
