Found it out!

Hey everyone, have you wondered how to sell goods to thoose luxurious traders at luxuries wanted signals?
Well i did, so i took my 2 million credit cobra with its cargo scanner to one of thoose signals.

I scanned the Lakons and found out they were carrying performance enhancers.
So to test if it was a way to sell the goods to them i went to Aulin Enterprise for thoose goods.
I bought a full cargo hold (32t) and headed to the nearest luxuries wanted signal just outside Aulin Enterprise.

First i tried abonding it.
It did not work.
Then i suddenly wondered what the heck that sound my cobra makes was caused by.
So i disabled all my modules to find out.
I didnt find out but when i turned on my thrusters again and swooped across the lakons i suddenly got a message :
240,XXX cr earned, sold 32 canisters.
I belive i made 50-20k on that which is not that bad, if someone was flying a type-9 they could make serious profit (well i dont know how much that would be for a type-9 owner, but it would still be a little significant)

So there you have it.
Just swoop across the Type-9s with the good you know they already have about 16-36 tons of in their cargo holds and woolah, profit.

I am sure some of you know this but its still not very common knowledge, so i decided to share it.

Fly safe and gain great profits commanders!

The tip is good, but if you used the search forum button, you would see, that there are at least several threads about it. Hopefuly someone finds it helpful though.

Interesting ... Have seen them but steered clear because i assumed there would be a catch. Does that work with rare commodities too? Extra cash with no strings! Got to be too good to be true, surely?

Oh well i should have done that.
But on the other side its needs to be a little more known and shown.

I have not seen these luxurious traders but I've seen sometimes some ships asking for electronics. Is that the same feature?
How do you know what to sell them - you try to sell the same item they have in their cargo... so I would need a cargo scanner? - in other words this is not doable if I'm still without one...
Also wanted to ask what do you mean swoop across? fly in between them or in front of the big ship?

I do believe just flying near them sells the goods.
And hey i just realised ; If they can get the goods from your cargo hold to theirs, does that mean it exists a teleportation beam or cargo stealing beam?
If so that's gonna be an awesome/awfull feature depending on what kind of playstyle you have.

I did it again to test out how much i did actually make.
Turns out it was 17k, which is actually still really profitable as it is only less than 1ls from aulin enteprise to the signal.
I did some fast calculations on my calculator (as i am somewhat tired now) on a lakon type 9 it would make you about 255k each run, and as it takes about 4 minutes (at the longest) to take it there, sell it, get back and buy again it can be ridiculously profitable per hour.
Well with a type-9 Aulin Enteprise would be out of them ridiculously fast, but as a Cobra pilot this is something i can earn big and fast on.
Fast calculations reveal how much i would earn each hour would be approximately 125k (note : I am very tired so this may be wrong) and only fitting cargo holds in my cobra would get me the double 250k.

It may be a little of an exploit for smaller ships.

Turns out my so called exploit isnt that good as i thought as Aulin Enteprise only had 150t of performance enhancers (i thought it was 1500)
The time it took to do the thing actually took 3 minutes as well, so my bad.
