I've done some rare trading loops (with the Asp), but getting max amounts takes time. There's also no point in using a bigger ship, since the Asp (or a T6) can already hold half a dozen systems-worth of rares.
Now, I have a type 7 - carries 216 cargo. I'm doing a run which goes to 2 stations in Zelano: marine equipment from industrial planet to agri, then tobacco to high tech in chapsugaibo, and PEs back to zelano. When the prices are good each round trip makes about 700K profit, less if the prices are unfavourable. Which is not bad - there are only 2 hyper jumps involved so it's not too long a trip.
However, when you start looking at the Python costing 50-odd million, plus fitting it out, that's a lot of cargo runs. Anyone got a reliable way to make money faster?
