Your advice on raking the cash!

Ooookay...
Everyone can verify for themselves. You can keep playing in your little corner with yourself.

Quick tip to get the ( currently ) 50% Hudson or 40% bonus on ALD, join a power and get 200 merits then defect, you should then have the 100 merits to be rank 2 and eligible for the bonus without having to wait a week,
that makes res site bounties and CZ bonds pay much better in the respective powers exploited systems. at a big ship high res with KWS in 30 mins you can get 5 mil, but it can be a faff finding big spawns.

While combat can be a lot more fun, the fastest way to earn credits is to find two systems with goods the other wants, and just grind out trading back and forth. In a Lakon Type 9, you'll make 15million an hour easily.

Not really. I like keeping the route all to myself. I'll just say that I make 1300Cr one way, 900Cr coming back, and the starports are within 50Ls of their respective host stars. A round trip take less than 8 mins.

I presume 15 million was a typo. because with your route above even with an un-shielded type-9 with 532t max capacity running this route every single 8 minutes non stop your total CPH is only 8,778,000 credits. Which is still more than healthy :) Also I don't get why you're having a go at him ozrix84, he is quite right, the only truly stable routes are private ones.

Anyway to the OP if you want another alternative gp exploring, sell the vulture, by an ASP go on a long trip to Sag A, enjoy the journey and total change of pace for like 2 months, put in the effort to scan absolutely everything of value there and back, come back and you would have enough for a python. Run that in a light trade config for a week, get it ready for combat, then bounty hunt with it then you would have enough for an Anaconda just as you finish A-grading it. Buy the anaconda, then buy back your A-rated python in under a week, because the anaconda is a credit printing machine. The above is literally what my road to the anaconda consisted of.

Why care about stability when you can move on to the next best route. The commodity prices are not typed in by hand.

I don't need to prove anything. Either use it or don't, makes no difference to me. Just thought I'd actually give the OP something to work with, instead of "Yeah, I know a route, but I'm not telling. But stopped by to tell you this anyway, 'cause I'm a jerk".

I didn't say "oookaaayyy" because I thought you were lying. I said that because I was turned off by your confrontational tone. I was ending the conversation. There's more to contributing to a conversation than just proving you're right all the time.

I make that more like 8m per hr in a Type 9, rather than the 15mill you quoted :p
 
Trade like a mad man.
Have you got kids, if not buy one. Or two.
Teach said kids how to trade.
Now you have all you need to farm credits.
Take it in shifts, when you cook and eat, one of them is trading.
Swap out every two to three hours for best results.

For added speed and depth, turn it into a competition, quickest time that day gets a reward.
Maybe an hour or two off Elite.

Thanks to my Son, we are now only 12% from Elite :)

He is sooooo looking forward to the exploration. Lmao

Why is 15mill so odd? My route in my Anaconda (452t) is a 5.5 min (perfect run) round trip. One way profits 1445, the other way profits 1750 for a grand total of 3195 profit X 452t = 1,444,140 profit. I can run that about 11 times an hour = 15,885,540 profit an hour. Like Synthetic Frost, my route isn't on any trading tool. I do use the trading tools though... just to make sure the route im running isn't listed on it.

I see you've got your own imperial slaves. Well done

My maths might be wrong but based on your numbers and assuming a 532t capacity Type 9 I make your profit per hour CR 8,778,000


1,300 profit one way
900 profit return run
2,200 profit per ton
532 cargo capacity
1,170,400 profit per round trip
60 minutes per hour
8 minutes round trip time
7.5 trips per hour
8,778,000 total profit
