Rare Commodities List!

Has anyone tested these rare commodities as stolen goods, does there price still increase on the black market?
next time I see a cmdr in game I might ask him to take a few off me to see what it does.

This sounds like something I should test :)

Nope, my friend didn't want to test that as he's had some bad experiences smuggling in previous beta builds (ie lost everything)
 
The Chi Eridani to Jaroua run is a good un with only 16 jumps, 20 minutes + 5 for scooping, taken from https://cmdr.club/routes/ - and all of them showed in the nav panel without resorting to galaxy map. Good stock at Jaroua. Need to wait 30 minutes for a couple of top ups, so good time to do those chores. Now if only I could arrive with no damage. Thats my game at present
 
Berty, I think a good strategy is to sacrifice some cargo for a bigger fuel scoop. Faster travel and less risk, I ran an A5 on my asp and did one full speed pass on each star. Usually it was done scooping before I exited the galaxy map and most of the time I arrived with a full tank. Haven't tried in an L9 so don't know what options are available but if you spend 5 extra minutes scooping I think it'd be worth it to go up 1 class at least.

Nah 4 tonnes of extra cargo will yield you 60k credits which is way more than the cost for the fuel. In addition time lost for scooping.

An A5 on your asp meant you were sacrificing 32 tonnes of cargo...

That's a huge drop in profit of close to half a million credit per run.

Your fuel will never cost you as much.
 
Gonna sell my Lavian Brandy on Earth (ok, AT Earth - Next year it will be ON Earth). 2 bottles transported with care!

Perhaps we need some sort of collecting achievement?! Or is there a rarities collector somewhere out there?

It's about speed vs cargo, I made the run in under 10 minutes each way. With 32 tons more cargo I wouldn't be able to take the same route. I later experimented with an A3 scoop instead and got almost exactly the same profit/hour so in an Asp there's not a huge difference either way.

Spending 5 extra minutes fuel scooping does not sound cost-effective though, which is what I was replying to.
 
Thanks guys, I was wondering why I wasn't getting the prices you were, all because of the display bug. I've ticketed it as well.
 
I think a fuel scoop is important, just to avoid running out, but I agree that using a size 5 slot for it is a bit of a waste!

If running an asp you're perfectly fine using one of the size 2 slots for a high quality scoop. I do my runs with a 120t no shield asp and a A5 FSD now and it's not exactly long covering the 150LY per run...

What I'm not settled on yet is 16T or 32T fuel tank... But I'm leaning towards 16T to maximise my single jump range.

32T and no cargo scoop. With a decent FSD you can do an entire 150ly journey in 8-9 jumps and a single tank of fuel. By far the fastest option out there.
