Shipping Meds to Bhal

[777Driver]

Just a heads up for those that are unaware. Bhal is quite close to the Bubble, so a very high profit short range trade route exists shipping basic medicines to the recently attacked station (6000+cr/t)

Wow! That's one hell of a profit.

Yeah it's been like that for every station that is burning. Meds are in very high demand. Basic Medicines are incredibly cheap to purchase, lowest buy price is around 88cr/t

Being a trucker at heart, I feel kind of stupid it never occurred to me to actually check the market. :|
My mind kind of got stuck at saving people.
Well, one more thing to do, when I'm back in the area.

Nice one 777

I am sure when I checked on arrival Thursday they were at around 3000 ? Still good but I imagine the demand must have rapidly increased. I wonder if they will be truly dynamic figures, although if they require over a billion units of certain items I suppose it does not matter !

Edit: 3000 was the price on the rescue ship.

Bentham Station is also a good starting point and 400+ls from the arrival star to boot.

I will assume the obligatory FD nerf commences Tuesday, correct?

Probably not for this, it's only 20MCr/Hr or so.

Why? It is just another part of system state trading, same deal with shipping medicines to systems in outbreak, or weapons to systems at war.

After the Rhea nerf, I've just kinda come to expect that they quietly adjust metas that allow for awesome profit. Thanks by the way for posting this, going there as we speak.

But this is not an exploit but rather intended mechanic.

Well, it's not an awesome profit so it's pretty safe.

Knowing how to do this means never being broke in Elite, no matter what they change on the Mission Boards.

It's unlikely that Frontier would really mess with this too much, because it affects too many things, and while you can make a good income, you cannot make a ridiculous income. It's always there to be had, for those who know how to flex it.

Thanks for the tip, 777Driver.

Thanks for the tip 777 - I got a couple of runs in before the price dropped through the floor :-(

Yes i got a single run in, in my ASPX to test out the prices, went back home to rig out my Conda along with a few passenger econ cabs to take the poor soles out and get some MEF as a reward, then pick up more meds...etc.

Only to find out that Meds have dropped more than my XRP Ripple Crypto coin and My ETH Mining on my Rig!

This is the story of my ED career....Always missing out!

Guy's, I think there may have been a misunderstanding here. The high demand for meds has been around for quite a while now. If Bhal is doing ok for meds, take them to the other burning station in NAUNI.

Any time a station is attacked, they will pay top credits for basic medicines, liquid oxygen, water, and evacuation shelters. It is just like regular system trading (Famine/War/Outbreak) Find a place in need and deliver cargo that is in high demand.

The meds have always paid very well, am surprised the prices dropped at Bhal so quickly, must be a lot of lurkers. Still surprising to see a demand for millions drop to a few hundred thousand. Perhaps the devs should consider adjusting the prices for damaged stations, would probably get repaired in a week.

That's some legit trade route there. And yes, damaged stations are very good for profit and rep.

The answer to this is to look around for other stations nearby a boring station wanting meds that have the meds at a good price. I use the EDDB stations search setting landing pad to 'L', commodities to 'Basic Medicines" and the reference system to 'Bhal' (as an example).

Or if you don't like using third party tools then you could use the System Map and look for industrial systems near to a burning station and go check the prices until you find a good done.

It's all trading 101.

.

The problem with Bhal is the demand for meds has rapidly dropped, from millions to few hundred thousand. Price difference is a 6000+ cr/t down to 2000cr/t. The other burning station still has a demand in the millions, and still paying 6000 cr/t.
