ye, all that's true - but its a fun way to waste time when doing paperwork - and space trade is better than planets for that, cos there are no other players relying on u to get stuff done if ur logged into the game :)

as for access to the rest of the galaxy - getting back to the home system to sell stuff would be good - after all, if i dealt in illegals, just think how quickly you could steal all my money if you caught me - the reward is a percentage of my cash :P

jealousy, jealousy.... :)


ok - trade enough to get L40 star drive, and I'll tell ya where the trade routes are to get btwn 700 - 1000 clear profit per item per run - it was up to 5.5k per item a couple of days ago, but has been tweaked and has settled down a bit now.

Given that currently I can hold a cargo of 65t (and so can chezzie) - full loads can be pretty lucrative

now wheres those nice trade routes? :P
if you don't wanna post them, you could always just e-mail them to me at vikingzaroba@gmail.com


on a side note, 700-1k per run isen't that good if it needs alot of stardriving. i found a 700 cr run in the main system that only needed 1 hop with the level 24 and 3 mins of lying.

ok zar -




methinks you need more cash before you do the serious deep space stuff - you have enough creds for maybe 1 NT tight now :)


m183 - (infimp to atwa and head a couple of jumps "south") - sells military supplies @2832cr per ton

M101 - near top corner - bout 10 jumps north - buys military suppies @2998 or thereabouts

longer routes - need to infimp to reine blanche to start:
(& you'll need to explore a bit to build yourself a map :))
M240 sell NT - 6164, M70 buy 7025 when I checked yesterday - that is a LONG run, about 20 jumps -

Mit's been doing some tweaking, so I'm not completely confident that the NT routes still work - I havent checked any in that part of space since yesterday morning

is that profit per run or per Item per run? if its per item - Mit needs to tweak more - whole point of further trade is its supposed to be more profitable out there.

that'd be cool - just in time for the reset :P given how much prices have falen since I bought mine (it was 100K) - probably hours. heh



map and some trade routes emailed. use at your own risk. lemme know if you sp[ot any major inaccuracies with the map - I dont think there are any, but mit's been tweaking space :)

seems to have got through this time - i guess gmail doesn't like zipped attachments

Eh? What? What did I miss!?!?

Can you give us a hint, otherwise it's like looking for a needle in a haystack without being told what a needle is or where the haystack is!
Have you added this yet?
If you have, does it show up on a system map or do you have to physically find it?
HELP!! :?

Not wishing to give too much away, is this a unique feature or one of several?

but the other end is much more limited - only 1 system within reach with a 24. You will need a 40 to go any further :)
