I have found a method to earn millions of dollars without leaving the initial system. This method can be done anywhere with a good trade route.
No need to hack' n slash' the code. Might take a while to build up but even if you don't go to extremes you can easily earn many millions in a few hours play.
I am sure somebody else must have discovered this because this exploitable flaw is quite obvious.
Any way. To the point.
The main problem with trading a commodity, is that the commodity is limited in quantity and slow to renew.
to fix this do as follows
1. Find a profitable route back and forth.
2. Trade in rare high profit items.
3. Buy said commodity and save.
4. go back to cargo and sell commodity back
(don't worry u don't loose any money)
5. Load the game u just saved and sell commodity again.
6.The base now has 2x initial amount of said commodity.
You can save and repeat as many times as you want.
Once u have enough to fill your cargo or when u run out of money, go to the other base and sell it. You can repeat the process there so that at both ends u have an infinite supply of rare large profit items.
Now u continue trading until u have made all the money u will ever need.
This is a pretty serious problem for any game so i expect the programmers will patch it up in the next version.
if u need money better hurry up.
Big Bug to Exploit!!!!!!!! Big Bucks!!!!!!!!

A really simple way of editing the files for lots of money:
1) Buy the cheapest ship available
2) Buy 1 unit of every commodity available
3) Save your game
4) Edit the CSV file corresponding to the new ship in your saved game
5) Add 5 or 6 zeros to the quantity of each of the cargo items
6) Load your game
7) Sell all of your cargo
Congrats, your just multiplied your money by 100,000 - 1,000,000 times
If you spend 5000 credits, you now have 500 million or 5 billion credits (depending on the number of zeroes used).
Point of advice: Get rid of the new ship after doing this. It completely screws up the stats of the ship.

I've stopped playing. I'm waiting for a new release.
I've kicked the MMO habit for now, but if I maintain enough money for an EVE-Online subscription, I'll be gone again.
