And luck seems to be with me.. Right after I got it, I got a mission hauling 33t of Silver 6 LY that paid 150k :eek: :)
Im mainly doing hauling based on that elitedangeroustool-page, and make about 50-60k each 10 min ( not moddifed it yet, so only 50t cargo )

This is way more profitable than running around with the Hauler, which almost made me cry every time I delivered goods lol

So after telling the happy-part, Im now OMW to a high-tec system to find some upgrades.
Anyone could recommend something? I dont rly need guns :)

Here's a suggested loadout you can replace the shields with cargo racks if you're brave.
add a fuel scoop if you want to run rare items.

you don't have to spend that much if you don't want to. just as long as you get all the cargo racks and can make your jump distance in as close to one jump as you can.
Here's a website that will help you find rare goods. Take them about 160 LY to another rare station to sell them and make good money. Once you can afford an asp you can continue doing this but after you're in a type 7 you will make more trading regular commodities.

Holy Cheeseballs that was expensive lol. I only got around 800k and that includes money to buy tradegoods with hehe.
Ive found me a FSD and modulated my ship so it can go 14,13 LY in one jump, and 76 cargo space :)

I started rare trading in an adder :) you don't have to spend that much, that was a top shelf build.
you can get away with something like this

rares are really cheap to buy and they go up in value the further away from the point of purchase you go. They kind of max out at 160ly.

How do i know if something is rare?

Rare Goods are only available at certain stations. They will appear in the list in a yellow (not orange) font. For example at Lave there is Lavian Brandy. It can only be bought in Lave.

As long as the good is legal you can sell them anywhere, BUT the further away from source you take them the more you can sell them for.

See here - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=101211 for an epic 71 stop route that will maximise the amount you get for each rare good.

Rares trading makes a break from regular A <-> B runs, but it's not for everyone.

Welcome to the trading world! You can identify rare items they are in yellow print on the commodities list.
Google Thrudds Elite Dangerous.
They have a rares page where you put in your origin station and it'll make a list for you.
Good Luck!

Yeah I normaly travel between LP 751-1 and Kokojina, but every now and then I go the trade calculator on elitetradingtool and see if i can make some nice rounds.. then i just go on one haul after the other to whereever it pays best, as long as goods is legal, and take the long road home when im done :)

Remember, if you're in open and get pulled over by a player pirate don't try to run, you will die horribly :)

Way to go!!! I really enjoyed trading in my A-rated T6. No weapons, just great FSD, thrusters, and shields. Was a great money maker until I traded up to a Clipper. Have fun!

You can outrun npcs easily but player pirates have rails so bear that in mind if you go to open :)

If you're mass locked, jump to a different system and it will negate the masslock and your fsd will charge faster.

Fly safe!
