I played the game before reading the forums or help or how to play I am like that. I spent 2cr on Trade Reports How do I earn money to get my transport?
First of all, Welcome to the game. To start space trading, look at the trade report and find a planet that sells a cargo transport for under 100cr. Go to that planet and buy the transport. This will leave you with a very little amount of credits ( around 15 or so ). Then look at the trade report again and find a planet that sells water for a low price and find another planet that buys water for a higher price. Trading starts out very slow at first but over time you will be able to trade more expensive items for larger gains and earn better ships, drives, etc. Keep in mind that space trading is not the only thing to do in the game. There are many planets of all sorts to play ( mostly economies at the moment ) and chat on.
Hope you like the game...kb

space trade
It does take a little effort to get the space part going, I agree with the post above, that you need to start with water, since you don't have much money left after getting the transport ship, but after a few trips with water, look at moving minerals or organics.
When you can afford to get the cargo bay extention, with enough to still buy goods, get it!
next you might want to get the automatic pilot, so you can do other things while you ship is crusing to the planet of your choice.
Finally you will want to upgrade the ship you are in. Personally I like the pirate ship, cause its fast, and still holds 32 tons (with the extention), and holds 400 uridium. But to be honest....its the only ship i've had since the cargo ship.
After I transported minerals, a switched to slaves, and the went on to narcotics.
When you can get the L40 stardrive the universe will be yours...and the further away you go from the starting area, you will see that profits will soar. One jump with the slaves, and pick up the narcotics, then I make 7 jumps to sell the narcotics.
All in all....its a profit of around 2400cr, and costing me 254 Uridium.
