As most beginners would, they start off at a system named cephid 17 with 13500 cash with them. What to do? DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR SHIP!!!!! Trade cargo instead. Once you get the big buck, you can get better ships (either cargo vessel or fighter) and make more money or explore more of the universe!

For a cargo vessel, you might wanna choose a bigger one: plowshare.
Then if you feel like doing both bounty runs and cargo runs together, get a clydesdale!
Make more runs and make more money...

@MC707
I get wad u mean here.

It works! I have been making money faster than ever before! Although the profit amounts are not accurate. But thanks for the info!

Once you've got half a million credits under your belt I strongly suggest the following trade :

You'll need a system with both Arid and Oceanic.
Get "Rlaan Food" (Nutripack & Sustipacks) at Oceanic planets and sell them at Arid planets.

The price is not too high (140-150) but you'll fill up the Lamaa, make a decent (~70%) profit and the quantity (10000) is there to make up for the price. After a few runs I bought a plowshare that paid for itself in a single of these cargo runs.

Hey, don't for get these, under Industrial/Mining:

Atmospheric Scrubbers
Material Processors
Waste Recyclers

I don't have exact figures for you, but moving them from the fighter base and/or relay to the mining base will net you anywhere from 10 to 20K! It's worth a little side trip, now and again.

Actually, I thought at least some of these might be available at Atlantis, but I might be wrong...

Rllan Gas Miners are some REALLY horney lonely drunken pervs...
Erotica 1600
Pleasure Borgs 1800
All of the specialty goods/entertainment items are around 3 times higher than on an asteroid mine, and Liquor is way higher as well, although the Rllan Gas Miners don't really go in for the exotic Uln or Confederate stuff. Ironically enough, as big a alchoholics as the Rllan are, I've never found any Rllan liquor for sale...
I can't remember how much the other Liquors went for, but wine sells there for 210.
They also pay 150 for livestock I don't EVEN want to know what they want THOSE for!!
