Trading items to a planet
Taking items start to multiply and then the prices changes screwing every1 over execpt for the station... Go learn an important value...Supply and Demand.
I don't have the money to buy all the computers back and sell them for low when I'm trying to earn a better ship.

er - sabrada doesn't buy computers! and with over 1000 in stock has no demand for them. you can't save a trade route that hasn't existed since the December reset

trading computers u need a stardrive - computer trade is now largely between systems not planets in the same system
like you said - learn an important value - supply and demand - if there's no demand in one station, don't try to supply there, look elsewhere

check the trade reports between tau and cirrus - you have l4 stardrive as standard - plenty of routes give small but reasonable returns, enabling you to build up your cash and expand your ship capabilities before heading into the higher priced cargos.

You can buy COMPUTERS from drellis and SELL AT SABRADA! AND NOW SOME1 NEEDS TO BUY ALL THE METALS FROM SABRADE BECAUSE THE BUY PRICE IS NOW FALLING! MY TRADING BUSINESS IS GOING DOWN THE TUBES! I'M NEVER GOING TO GET A X-WING! I WANT A X-WING YOU LOSERS! I WANT A X-WING! I WANT A X-WING!

I WANT MY TRADING ROTUTE LIKE IT WAS BEFORE SO I CAN GET AN X-WING WITHOUT SOME1 ELSE GIVING IT TO ME OR ANY CASH! I WANT TO TRADE TO GET IT BUT I CAN'T NOW BECAUSE TRADE ROTE IS DYING!!!

an X wing?

ummm.
ok

so check all the systems.... get a notepad and pencil/pen (or just notepad) and record some prices and trade around what ya find. get a bigger drive if you can afford, it will help unlock better routes. remmeber, the trade report is your friend.

Patience young padawan!
so if you've exhausted a trade route, find another one insted of throwing a toddler's tantrum

We know when you've only got limited amount of cash it can take a long time - small returns on even the most lucrative trade runs. do what morby suggested - pen & paper, make notes and work it out. We've been there, done it and bought the t-shirt, and know it can be frustrating, but it does get easier.
use the trade reports, switch routes when prices start to fluctuate - if you run a route to the point of exhaustion it will take forever to regenerate. run mixed cargo loads, if it's more profitable. trading isn't easy, but its definately not difficult - just takes a little thought and time. if you can't be bothered, play a planet

so...you actually want somebody to take a loss and sell stuff to sabrada just so you can buy it and sell it somewhere else for more money?

thats as bad as just begging for an infimp.

everybody else worked for thier money. so can you.

Sonro · Post by **Sonro** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 12:54 pm

excellent point well made Zar!

as for Sabrada - they don't BUY computers - and I've just checked at the station to make sure the trade list is the same as the system trade report. They only SELL for 107cr. can't sell something to a station what isn't buying it!!!!!

time to stop looking for shortcuts and put in the time

Awwwww. Who gives a F**k anyways...I have a X-fighter....IT HAS A ION DRIVE 9!!!!!!!!
I'm happy without your help!

zaroba · Post by **zaroba** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 4:43 pm

see? you did it by yourself without anybody having to 'help' by spending thier money just so you could make money.

wow..it goes ion 9. big deal.
the gal freighter goes ion 8 and has nearly 6x the cargo capacity.
and no matter what ship you have, infimp is faster

You forgot one thing...You can't IMP with cargo

I need something fast to improve trade... Before I bought the thing I hade a 10t cargo extension that I bought for 610crds

would've been happy to help & give trading tips, rather than general trading advice, if you'de asked for help rather than demanding shortcuts and throwing tantrums.

grow up, ask-don't demand, and you might get somewhere.

duh, no kidding, you can't imp with cargo.
i brought up imping because i can't imagine somebody useing an x-fighter for transering with its low armor and low capacity.

wow, a 10t expansion. congrats. now you can go ion 9 with 15t of cargo.
its still more worthwhile to go about the same speed with 39t cargo

plus, i think gal freighters have more armor so can feel safer during long trade runs
