There was a rare goods spreadsheet to maximized profits back when that was a thing. Does anyone have a copy they can share? Thanks

This brought memories from 10 years ago. From the time when NavComp could plot only 100 Ly.
Had the same printed map on my table too
That's a beautiful chart, would you mind if I try to recreate it? Will credit you of course or whoever it is that made it
Do not pass GO. Go not collect 200.
It shows just how large even the default State: None rare allocations have got since then quite nicely!
I’ve just tried following one of the rares trading routes. It appears that the rare goods capacity of the stations has increased significantly - you’ll probably need a type 8 (outposts don’t have Large pads!)
And I thought I was an old fuddy duddy for having the PDF of this rares map still saved to my C drive. Dear fargod, what is this?!
Your document is too new!

With rare goods being a good power play merit earner I am once again revisiting this part of the game, there’s some nostalgia involved for sure….but that map was my first proper engagement with the game way back then.
I love the fact that it’s made like the London tube map, superb in its simplicity. Really good work whoever did this!

No need; the original is still availableThat's a beautiful chart, would you mind if I try to recreate it? Will credit you of course or whoever it is that made it
(Last updated 11 years ago, heh)
But there are new/current things in Elite to chart, so you should still make a chart of something

Apologies for thread highjack, but it is relevant!
I’ve been doing the rares to try and earn merits in powerplay, to no avail…Are rares still suspended? I bought all the usuals, took them to Mahon in Gateway but received no merits..am i doing it wrong?

Powerplay assistant (by me) will show you the 15 best rare goods for the system you're in: https://elite.niceygy.net
I guess Fdevs are afraid that if rares would be back, almost no one would do anything else, like it was when it was not disabled, and it was quite OP compared to other "activites", atleast in very first weeks of PP2.
Certainly, but that can be balanced. I thought the intention of FDev pulling rares was to re-balance and then enable them again. For PP factions that used rare trading as their bonus lever to pull for reinforcement, it puts them at a disadvantage.
