What commodity is the hot item and where currently. It's been a while since I've played and need to mine for some cash.

At the moment it's a CG hauling tritium. With a T-9 you can make about 300 million in a roundtrip.
So mine titanium and sell it to FCs or stations??
Where's the best spot currently??

Much faster and efficient to just buy the tritium and deliver it. If you have to mine it's probably better to mine platinum, sell it and buy tritium, and finally deliver it at the right station.

COMPLETED CG - Appeal for Supplies to Relaunch the Golconda (Trade)

Got it
The current CG will last 2 more days tops
So it's a very short term money maker.
The long terms ones are (in an absolutely random order):
Probably i missed some
So it's a very short term money maker.
The long terms ones are (in an absolutely random order):
- platinum mining (laser mining, preferably in hotspot in a haz rez, mapped mining very effective)
- stacking pirate massacre missions (need to be allied)
- hunting for missions requiring precious minerals/metals (gold platinum palladium etc)
- CZ (space) wing killing and sharing wing missions (need to be allied)
- ground High CZ chaining
- Thargoid Interceptor farming (for the able ones)
- Robigo sightseeing runs
- Bulk trading (carrier) or even random Cutter/T9 trading (routes that gives more than 25k/ton)

It's a gold rush set to terminate in a few days. FWIW, You can earn the money without participating in the CG as there are no rewards except for the money you earn. In fact it would be better if people left the CG and just raked in the cash as then the CG would run the full week.
FYI, a lot of the large pad places are empty or otherwise low on trit. Still a lot of med pad outposts with supply, though.
What's the max cap of cargo a Type 9 has?? I have an Imp Cutter with 512t.
A T9 can carry 790T if you fill it with nothing but cargo racks.
Nice. Gonna buy one just for the cargo
The problem with that is I was drawn into the CG because I wanted to do this CG as a follow up to my Galconda decal the large amounts of credits are going to be useful but I wouldn't just haul for the credits but I would do the CG even if it was just going to be a break even situation.
And no I don't feel strongly enough about it to give the credits away.
I have a T9 hauling 740 tonnes out of 790 and a Cutter hauling 696 tonnes out of 794.
Cutter has higher total possible cargo than T9, I personally would not recommend downscaling from a Cutter to a T9 for trading. Tried it and sold the T9 after a couple of trips.
You only get the good credits for selling Tritium in the CG station which is Fozard Port in Upaniklis and you'll likely have to haul that tritium 160LY from where there are supplies to that station.

I have a FC on PS4 so I'm loading that up. But I'm using the tritium for my PC account so I can buy a FC there too...
It's a Festivus Miracle! Something that could only previously be obtained by mining (rare exceptions for the occasional sale) is suddenly widely available in massive quantities everywhere! And in another miracle, even though it's currently more common than bad opinions, it's paying handsomely at this one spot! Economics, amirite?
Technically true, but only if you're flying unshielded. Fit both ships with the smallest possible shield module, and the T9 comes out very slightly ahead. As far as I'm concerned they're about even so pick based on what you're more comfortable flying.
For CGs with valuable commodities, I tend to use a 512t cargo Corvette. Good for picking up some incidental contributions for the bounty CG, and far better maneuverability than the two cargo champs.
