Ok I've been off freelancer discovery for a very long time and have forgoten most of them. What are some good trade routes and minning operations? Already have a ship set to go to do both. Thanks in advance. Slappy out.
Currently the big 'thing' is the Iridium mining event for the Core in omicron lost, however that ends today so there's really not much time left to profit from it.
After the event ends, I'm sure most of the traders/miners will go back to the usual Gold-Aluminum route (among several others, that's just the biggest one IMO).
The route is:
-Mine gold in Dublin
-Transport gold to New Berlin (the ring, I believe)
-Take Rheinbier from New Berlin to the planet in Munich
-Mine Aluminum in Munich
-Take Aluminum to Southampton Shipyard in New London
-Go back to dublin for gold again
Now, im not sure how long you've been gone but mining and trading are kind two separate things now, you cant usually do both at once very effectively. Only certain ships can mine well, and those ships dont have much cargo space so they're bad at trading (best mining ships are freighters/fighters, and only certain ones).
So, instead of doing both, you gotta pick if you're gonna mine or transport and find someone else to do the other half.
there is a discord server set up for mining/transporting where you can ask for a miner or transport to help you out, and there's people in the server with all types of miners in the various different mining fields. You can use this link to get to the server:

So just to make sure I've got it now, only freighters are good at mining and not big things like transports now? as last i played i used the Hegemon asteroid miner and that worked great. Just making sure so i don't go waste my credits. Slappy out.

Using the hegemon takes a lot longer to fill a 5k transport than a freighter.
