Use a fuel scoop?
beat me to it... i cant imagine a rare run without one...
I will do that. I guess a large one will not take forever to refuel even a python.

I would recommend stopping at stations that are over 2000ls, time is money with rare trading, even a minute difference mean thousands of credits in differences, so they are not worth the money.
And yes, skip the ones that produces only 1 ton of goods, completely worthless and a waste of time.

You seem to have dropped some pretty important stops with high yields such as Leesti with its 21t of rares. Any reason?
Hi there,
Great post CC Waterback.
I've taken the optimised route from mitchman and using Elite Rare Trader I've put together 3 versions of the route; 140ly Sell, 160ly Sell & 180ly Sell.
I'm yet to run the optimised route, but plan to do so this coming week and will run all versions to see what the difference is credit wise regarding the sell distances.
Should anyone be interested here's a copy of them: -

I'll be running them in a 100t Type 6, currently at 104t, but I'm going to swap the 4t of cargo space for a fuel scoop, especially considering some of the distances involved and to save time. Depending on the quantity upon arrival at the stations it might just be a case of take what's available and on to the next. I don't plan on hanging around for the odd 1 or few.
Regards
Routes amended due to me leaving out Leesti originally, also added another version for 200ly Sell. Should hopefully be OK now.
FYI: stop 52 of the 200Ly route Irukama, Blaauw City is 326Ls from the star.
and tranquility in Tarach Tor is 359LsMany thanks, noted.

Are you running the route?
I'm currently on the 140ly one, but on Stop 51 as I type.
Putting together a comparison of the selling prices for the the 140, 160, 180 & 200ly.
I have also noticed that Elite Rare Trader listed Kamitra Cigars to be sold at Eshu - Shajn Terminal, but I didn't have them listed on the Commodities screen so I sold them at Goman - Gustav Sporer Port. Only lost 3ly in distance selling them there.
I'll update the details in the routes early in the week.
Regards

I am trying this on a Python.
Looks like fuel cost will take a healthy bite out of my profits and the 1 ton items are definitely a loss. Maybe I'll have to switch to economical route planning but that will destroy my hourly.
I hope I won't have to supplement my income by pirating you lot
You contradict yourself. Do you recommend it or not? Stopping at a station means going to it.
I still refuse using these kind of tools. Though it's still unclear to me if I'm an hero now, just an idiot or both.
A3 Fuel scoop - fill up at EVERY scoopable star. I find lots of short scoop stints are better than one very long one. Just keep in mind, a fully loaded Python with A class FSD will still only jump 13-ish Ly.
This is probably a silly question, but wouldn't you want to keep a trade route like this to yourself?
I mean, if everyone is trading the same stations/rare goods, won't this cut into the stock available for you at those stations? If someone visits one of the rare stations and buys all the stock, wont I need to wait for the respawn or restock to occur if I go to buy just after they have bought all the stock?

Did you try the black market (if it has one)? Some rares are illegal at particular systems. I have no idea about this one though!
yes arriving in stop 69 of the 200Ly route now (started at stop 28)
I am afraid I did not record all the selling prices, but can do so from now on if you like.
The Kamitra Cigars are also illegal in Bast where I was supposed to drop them off and I did not know if I should sell them on the black market there or not. I saw the price in the Bast black market was 24557. I checked the price in the next stop (Hecate) but the price there was a few credits lower, so I guess the black market at Bast is good, but might need a note in your pdf to remind people to check for black market.
one more station distance: Tiolce, Gordon Terminal 158Ls
do you want me to collect selling prices on the 200Ly route from here on? I can post them here or PM them to you when I have a bunch.
