Hi All

Returning old person here. Back in ye old days I had developed a few multi step trade routes that were interesting and still fairly profitable.

Obviously now its all changed, and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to furnish me with some suggestions?

I'm not after the uber profitable A->B->A, but more a A>B>C>A (or longer) that takes in the scenery, has some mild peril (although not pirate central...), and makes an ok profit.

Would be grateful for ideas on ship/ID for this also.

I know this is lazy but I am now old and have very limited in-game time to explore myself.

Thanks in advance.

I dont know any off the top of my head i been just doing Base supplies for last few years but something I always enjoy is just starting at one planet buy what sells well somewhere, sell it and hope there is something at that sell point to take or close, and repeat. I always find myself all over the place and really fun! Prob wont end back up where you started but still interesting.

and i would start with a new char on a /restart so you get some base info (sell points) already listed.

Good Luck and have fun! if you want any company hit me up on skype - Atacobellfiesta

Some good trades start with Iridium from FP11.

What I did back in the days was:
Get Silver Ore from Omega-7 (PoB or Miner) and sell it in Lyonnais on the Montbrison Storage Facility, then head to Picardy for Aluminium ore (PoB or Miner) and sell it on the Southampton Shipyard in New London after that head to Dublin and get Gold Ore (PoB or Miner) and bring it to Planet New Berlin. Then you just repeat this route, quite a long time and big chances to meet pirates, people and clashes between Groups etc.

A ALG restart is perfect for that - You will fly around 1 hour and 30-40 minutes.

Sorta Bump for any more ideas

I'm working on the Iridium from FP11 suggestion (thanks). Having some issues with actually getting anywhere that a) lets me dock (Munich?!) or b) isn't some darned jump hole that mysteriously doesn't work!

The Junp holes that won't work are the planet atmosphere jump holes. The only ships that can enter those jump holes are ships smaller then frighters.

Nope, Alaska jump hole in Omicron Sigma and Omicron Beta jumphole in Omicron-Xi are also restricted.

Sigma/Alaska, and Beta/Xi. Yep that's the ones that got me. Wasted ageeees.

So anything that anyone can give in terms of routes that actually exists will be very useful Smile

well , you are a trader i assume. And solo mining + selling with a 5ker is not your thing. But if you want my input, choose a zoner capship, mount a suitable jump drive (the ones that does solo jumps in no time and charges fast and works on battleships )+ CAU 7 and once you find any house places dockable, do some missions . make profit for missions and.... keep going! it helps alot when you are out of Trading/hauling mood Big Grin also galic missions pay + loot = 9 or 10 millions for each.

So.. yeah. thats something fun! also.. you will have lawfulls on your tail!

IF THEY CATCH YOU FIRST. Cool
