Trade Routes

[wayreth]

Here's my two cents on profitable trade routes I've found so far:

Coffee, grain and the like (plus wines) - buy at planets; sell at refineries and mining bases

Entertainment - same as above

Metals and ores - buy at mining bases; sell at planets and commerce bases

And, for me, that's it. Every time I try to buy something different I always end up without being able to sell it for a profit (I sometimes buy research items at research stations but don't know where to sell them *sigh*).

More good trade routes/items, anyone?

Starfortress/Fighter barracks - Confed Milspec ships to Kahan, Tesla, Clydesdale, etc. I think that ther should be more possibilities for gaining profit from trading with starships. (cause there aren't.)

Considering research stations, I noticed most locations are willing to give only extremly low amount of money for the things you can buy there, BUT certain locations will actually pay more. For example, if you buy medical research items, they can be sold well on medical stations. And I think I just sold something in a factory, not exactly sure what it was anymore, but it was from a research station, and counted as research. I'll try to write things down in the future. But I'd swear it sounded rather factoryish.

Commerence center - electronics, machinery goods, entertainment to elsewhere. Just like the bartenders say - the best tool for trade in universe is common sense for example: what does a factory sell for a cheap price? Manufactured goods and supplies.

Dilitium/Trilitium/Quarz from mining stations to planets.

Biggest possible profit.
