Trade Route

Apr 23, 2003 Captain Z link
Sector 14 to any home sector will just about do it. I make a lot of runs from sector 14 for Rare Metals (1800c each) and sell them in my home sector of 2 at something like 5500c. Load up a Centaur, and you make some big money after a while.

Does anyone know of a good trade route with the new sectors and trade items?
Apr 23, 2003 roguelazer link
Buy waste treatment in 13, sell in 14. Buy rare metals in 14, sell in 13.

Rich, nice name

It kinda reflects the tonns you mentioned :D

but I heard 14 - 10 is rather proffitable

but if you really want to be sure, check later the spreadsheet out that Roger Ramjet is coocking up :D

cheers

Yah 14-10 is pretty profitable, one major flaw, both stations are secret, 14 is easy to get to but the 10 station is tricky with a centaur, but is possible.

10 station is easy with an atlas tho the time you save getting in and out of 10 makes up for the loss of 2 cargo from the centaur. plus the atlas is cheaper to get started with.

13-14 is probably the best route availible to all players tho.. the wormhole distances are good and the station in 13 easier to get to than the station in 10.

14 to gold home, gold home to sector 6, sector 6 to 14 is more profitable i think, but we arent all gold.

now i think 14-15 is the best way to make moeny.
the profite is high in precent, not amount of money!!!
thus meaning that people that say 14-18 is good because u sell it at 16000. its wrong, u buy at 8000, and that is not a very high profit, only 50% profit, compare to buying at sec14 at 1600 and selling at sec 15 at 8900 or 9000 if you will.
meaning that the profite between 15-14 is less at price at first look, but when u look at it, it is a better investment.
cargo is sold at high price, and at sec 18 u can die very quiky,thus spending alot of money on cargo!

15-18 seems to be very profitable and quick

Well, with s18 trade stuff, you make 8k, thats 1k less then what the other trade goods sell for from 14 and 15, but they have a profit of 6400.

Profit really needs to be measured in credits per meter. Percentages of profit are really irrelevant because the ammount of cargo that can be carried at any one time is finite and a hold worth of widgets is a small percentage of anyone's money that has been playing for any degree of time.

" u buy at 8000"
huh?
May 16, 2003 ctishman link
It is not english, but they think it is. It's for those so lazy they can't move their fingers to type the extra 'y' and 'o'.
May 16, 2003 StarFreeze link
yea 8000?

in sector 18 the items there are 2100

and rare materials in 14 are at 1800

so where ever this magical "8000" is plz tell me :)

so i would say it is good because of the good pay off...no...i don't like being wrong :)

I do 18-14 240k a run :)
