Prices always change. If you sell an item,the buy price can go up or down (last time I saw) like a crazy stock market.

Start looking with the ship you have now to find at least one route that you can buy low,sell high for profit. Remember the Item name,where you got it,and where your gonna sell it.
I think right now you might be able to make a profit between Zoric->Swabs (Note I didn't say Swabs->Zoric) but since the prices every player see is different,I wish you luck finding a route.

Once you have found a route type !resetme to get the default credits and set off for a bit of a long space trade journey thingy.(Remember this only apples in space,not worlds...cause they don't have credits to begin with :P) Do not buy an Ifninte Improbilty Drive yet. It costs too much of your default credits and the more items you buy,the more profit you make!
Buy a Cargo Ship and a Cargo Bay for starters. They are esincial to Basic Space Trade.

Once you've made a good profit you can go ahead and buy the Infinite Improbilty Drive. If you make great profit buy yourself a faster ship (Like an X-Wing) to make space trade a breeze...

Advanced Tip:
I Dunno if this works or not but you can try learning what planet types sell/buy what by checking them over on the system map...if it works, use it as an advantage

Yes,I'm sure of it. It could be between start systems aswell ya know. Not just staying in one system and trading.

In-Fact,I'm sure you get more profit for trading from star to star if you can find the route that is.

Gk is working on something for a friend. If you must know the world is pretty empty at the moment because he using the terrain from reina roja (minus the buildings). Plus no one ever really played there anyway (except me [no one else enjoys killing 300 ft. monkeys :) ]).

One of the reasons why we can't use money as credits cause then space trading would be obsolete,people in who are top of the economy would be the top of the galaxy (possibly),and biplaneworld would be the ultimte cheat.
The universal did it once,but some how was bugged...uhm..I can't really remember how :P

I deny all such rumours. (Tho they may well be true).

I also deny any rumours that may arise about the existence of a ship 'graveyard' in orbit of a planet, of strange space aliens that float about in space, or the existence of an incredibly fast ship-prototype that does Ion 50.

Wow an ion 50 drive...That could get you from one end of a system to the other in under a minute...Just think of the trading possibilities. Although those aliens would probably pull you over for speeding :) .
