Thanks for the info fellas.. I think I am going to give a rares run a go tomorrow. I just pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on a new Asp... got a B rated FSD, and have 120 cargo room. If I do rares runs, would I ever be running 120? or would I be better go back to better sheilds? (only running class 3)

THE VIEW THIS ASP HAS!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

+1 for the view.

If you aren't kitted out for combat the shield is not going to help. But repair costs eat into profits without one at all.

The 72 jump rares run (again, search) will take you into the 120ish range - but most rares runs won't fill a cobra

I am currently flying Python. So how I gathered this money?

I never liked Type 6 (nor Type 9) and on top of that I was always afraid to trade in them. So I initially acquired Asp and trade in Asp. Why in Asp? In Asp I was OK with 80 tones cargo and to have better defences as well as possibility to do side missions. From there I tried Type 7 (WAY BETTER THAN Type 6) then moved to iClipper and from there to Python.

But how to gather the money?

So I focused myself on commodities that can give good difference between buying and selling price. Everything revolve around High Tech based economy systems. Usually these systems require metals so with High Tech systems is Extraction/Refinery systems. Focus on prices metals and if you see the price of metal is 800+ credits cheaper than galactic average - this is not that unusual as it might seem! Sell that metal in High Tech system that has it at least 200+ credits price higher than galactic average. Usually such worlds are 25+ ly away from each other. High Tech system usually has Performance Enhancers 500 credits cheaper than galactic average and Extraction systems have usually 400 credits more expensive price so there is your return route.

This is basic. Once you get yourself familiar with desired part of galaxy - try to make things more complicated. Don't go just between 2 systems but involve more systems if possible.

Goal is to make 100K credits per trade jump with Type 6. With iClipper your goal is 250K and so on.

I just went from T6 to ASP to T7 in 3 days... grinding is horrid but i found the ASP was a nice boost to my income then the T7 came in no time.

Cupis area trading in a T6

I've not had my T6 long, but one of my trade routes i find quite profitable is

Brani (Virtanen Hub) - Cupis (Marshall Ring) Palladium

Cupis (Marshall Ring) - Pices (Knipling Port) Marine Equipment

Pices (knipling Port) - Brani (Virtanen Hub) Animal Meat.

This trip takes about 15 mins and is netting me approx 280k per run.

School boy error. Never post your trade routes. Someone will move in with their T9 and you'll be making 50K a run in no time!

My suggestion is:
Buy the Asp next after the type 6. Can carry more cargo and still have a shield in the class 3 slot.

Its faster too, so docking is quicker so more credits per hour.

The increased jump range allows better trade routes. I find taking cargo to nearby systems are not as profitable.

I would allow 25 million to buy (and cover insurance) the type 7 as you will need the best hyperdrive, class D everything else. Keep a D shield generator in the class 4 internal slot for impacts. Can get away with a class 3d generator to increase jump range too.

So, a T6 to a T7 seems like a HUGE jump. I have about a million in my T6, and about 3.5 million in my viper, and about 8.5 million in the bank. The best route I can find nets me about 140k round trip at 100 tons in my T6. At this rate, to get to the 17.5 million + money for cargo + insurance, it will be sometime next year. I have to be missing something, no?

Now that I am playing in the rift, even simple back and forth trade runs are crazy fun... but I still need to be able to progress faster than I am now. Any help you guys can spawn my way, would be mucho appreciated.

You could buy an Asp and get 120 cargo space and a much quicker ship than T6. When upgrade time comes you will be able to sell/trade in the Asp for not much less than what you paid for it and it's upgrades.
