Quick Cash

What's the most profitable trade route, I'm currently shuttling grains and produce from the Oceanic planet in Cephid 17 to the K'lkk Fighter Barracks. So I was wondering, what does an Ocean world want that sells cheap on a base and sells high there. :wink:

I'm not exactly a merchant/trade expert... But go to the Oceanic Planet, (Atlantis or whatever it's called) and there should be some cargo missions... Contraband Cargo missions usely pay the most, but just watch out for Military ships, as they will scan your ship on a basic routine.

In the end, the best is to see prices in csv. But quick and in Cephid17? Any Metal goods category to Ocean (massive, but profitable).
Liquor to mining base, Food to barracks, Chemicals to Relay; [s]pron[/s] Entertainmaint to either.
As a fallback, Gases from planets to any station - cheap runs due to volume, but at least there's a lot and mining base may churn out some metals meanwhile.

Metal run from Serenity to Atlantis....ah, brings back memories...flying with Llama loaded so heavily that gravitation pull from planet was stronger than engines...

After getting out of Cephid17 I went to Enyo and luckily found a refinery and factory. The Planet Scotchman an Arid planet I think gives the best prices for Construction Items like Vehicles and Recycling Tanks also PAI Wetware. I very soon had enough cash to buy a Plowshare and maximise my profits, loaded up switched to my Robin, paid the small fee of 1000 credits to transport the overfull Plowshare. Then within no time at all I had enough cash to start buying AI cores at 10.8 million each and selling them for around 14 million, I now have around 50 million after trading AI cores for only a couple of hours. Now I can explore the Universe how I like and buy what I want :)
(The only cheat I did was to give me a stock Llama instead of the starting one, and I only did that to get the medium guns)

The Pirates of course were not happy with all my Trading so I quickly spammed them with F1 until they were plus 10, the only Faction who doesn't like me now are the Aera, I have only 1 kill and that is an Aera.

Great game, thanks for all the effort everyone is putting into it :)

Bad thing about economy is, once you get enough money for one AI core, you gain access to very quick big cash...
