Trade Routes.

[Dash]

What are all your favourite trading routes?

I know Jabbah is a fan of Diamond running across half the galaxy. Personally I'm partial to Artifacts from Cadiz Base to Planet Manhatten. Not quiet as much as the Diamond run, but it's quicker, and you get the added fun of running from the Police :)

[Varsh]

Berlin with Diamonds to Tokyo, Tokyo with Engine parts (I think) to Cambridge, Cambridge with Gold to Berlin, that's a few hundred thousand.

[[COMIX]VaMpIrE]

a very very lucrativ trade route is from new berlin buy ENGINE COMPNENTS fly to the SIGMA13 jump hole between berlin and brandenburg border station and sell all at YANAGI depot, now buy CARDAMINE and sell at berlin

[FiRe]

How much vamps?

[[COMIX]VaMpIrE]

ill tell you once i get there again i used to do it in game depends on how much you spend tbh :)

[FiRe]

60 units?

[Clowneh!]

i used to make half a mill per round trip, and its only about 4 systems away...

new tokyo => the ring [next to new berlin]
new berlin => new tokyo

i cant remember exactly what i bought cuz i deleted this cack game a long time ago :P

i think it was diamonds one way, something else back, im sure u can work it out using the market lists u have :)

[Clowneh!]

yeh i forgot to say its fairly safe too..

[Varsh]

That didn't give as much as the route I took though Clowneh :P

[Clowneh!]

u said urs is a few hundred thousand...

mine is a little over 500000, and its a much shorter trip.

[Ronaldo]

What does it mean exactly by luxury food being highly perishable? I could by it for $120-$160 and then sell it on Manhattan for $1260? Or will it perish due to journey lenght alone?

[ParaSitius]

Your Perishable Item starts to lose life when u are out flying thru space. So basically the quicker you get to your destination, the less units you lose.

I've done that trip before, ended up wasting more time, mine ends up faster :P

[Clowneh!]

well i was neutral with everyone so i just went backwards and forwards :)

[Dash]

[13:48.18] <@Dash> Diamonds: Freital Base (omega-11) -> New Tokyo; Consumer Goods -> Falkland Base (Tau-37); Niobium -> Leipzig Station (Dresden); Light Arms: Vogtland Base (Dresden) -> Fretial Base (Omega-11)
[13:48.22] <@Dash> that's pretty good.
[13:50.59] <@Dash> $3859 per unit for the whole trip
[13:51.17] <@Dash> Which is $270,130 for my 70 unit hold.

[Necr0]

go to tau 37, spend about 10 mins shootin asteroids to recieve a full cargo bay of nobium for free. Then sell at new berlin for 1600 a unit :)

u may not have that amount of time for big hauler's cargo but i got stuck up there for a few hours :E

[Mr_Meeker]

just got freelancer, reading all this about trade routes and galaxies is confusing the **** outta me atm :confused:

[Custodian]

Easily fixed.... give the game to me and don't worry your pretty little head about it :)

[Mr_Meeker]

i can do u a copy if u really want :P

[LiLaww]

[Mr_Meeker]

Profit: ?

Sigma13 Jumphole from Berlin to brandenburg

[Ironheart]

I think there's another good Cardamine run, though I forget the details right this second.

PS - How you doing Kappa you old tart. Seen the Dungeon Siege 2 announcement?

[[D]r_kazza]

Hello mate.... not seen you since your forum was demoted to beardie wierdies ;)

what announcement of DS2... you got an URL?

TBH I gave up on MP and just completed the single player and then shelved it.

(I STILL haven't completed Day o' sex, or splinter cell or Tomb raider chronicles, and here I am with Freelancer, Eve-online, Ghostmaster & Tombraider 112 on their way and the ficticious Diablo 1.10 patch... just as well I'm unemployed and not working 14 hrs a day so that I can play them... (not))

How've you been?

[ChumbaWumba]

howd ya get the sigma13 jumphole near berlin to work online btw?

[breath]

dock with it

[[D]r_kazza]

You're probably all to filthy rich to care about it but....
if you start off on a new server and want some cash quick

Boron from Fort bush (about 300)
thru California & cortez & manchester & london & then into LEEDS system... sell it at Stokes Mining station (leeds system) for 900

Then come back and buy some silver (I think) from Canterbury (london system) and sell in Los Angeles... this one is 300 to about 850. Can't remember the exact asset but a good little run

A few nasties on the way but nothing too serious
