Making money fast ?

Nov 07, 2004 Chao link
I'm not trying to trick you out of your real money (yet :P), I'm just asking for ways to make money quickly in VO. For the moment I'm grinding by gunning down Ty assaults and R18 Guardians, but I can't keep up with buying the licences as my levels rise because of lack of money :( Advices, anyone ?

Fighting isn't exactly the best way to get money. You could buy trade goods from one station and sell them to a station that does not have that trade good for purchase, this will increase your trade and commerce experience and give you money.

Suicidal Lemming is right, but be prepared for some travel. You may have to reach the edges of your nation to find good profit. Even then you may need a trade route that's 1-2 systems large.

Good Luck!

After finding a trade route, exploit it hard and fast and watch the marked take a steep dive.

The recovery after selling 700+ items in a sector takes almost a week with the current regrowth. Quite impressive really.

I wonder when they will start doing basic consumption based on items bought.. would be interesting.

Thanks, I did exploit a trade run, and made 200k in a few hours.

I'd love to find out your trade routes. The knowledge could help me bunches in my task.

Fighting not a good way to make money? nonsense! Just launch a couple rockets at the nearest trader you find....pick up their cargo and sell...instant profit...little to no travelling.

I'd tell you but then you'd milk them dry. But I have found medical supplies are a good seller.

I've also had good luck with Personal Defense Systems

I tend to find barracks like luxury goods.

Research likes'em too ;)

My own mill was between L02 and B07 in Arta Caelestis (500 net on each cooling systems and 700 on Adv. targeting systems until I ran the price down under the ground). I finished milking it and found another more lucrative since so exploit all you want.

I found a couple routes that netted an easy 12000 per run. I alternate between them and botting to raise my levels. Couple cargo runs for trade XP, and I'm a busy man.

3.6 million :)
I found a couple of trade runs that bring in 32000 per run, in the same system, with no ion storm to avoid.
