Quick, Easy, but most importantly profitable trade route request.

Hey
I don't know if this is where I should be posting this... but I'm sure it will be moved to the right spot.

I general don't have enough playing time in my day. I work and play with my wonderful 9 month daughter, I try to play maybe about an hour to one and a half hours in a day.
So my request is a short, profitable trade route that I could use until I get enough credits to explore the wonderful galaxy.

Anything you buy should have a high supply and anything you sell a high demand

Always look at the galactic average if its below the average one of the planets on route will pay above the average. never buy above the average never sell below

find a few different systems close together and go for it

go from Extraction to refinery with metals
take alloys/minerals to an industrial
take machinery to a High tech
take consumer items to an Agriculture
take food to extraction and repeat

As you go you'll find the best trades between them and have some fun along the you might pick up a slave route or a narcotic route in there that will be worthwhile as well but that basic routing should see you start to make money anywhere in the galaxy and the variety of systems should see you with shipyards that cover most ships and outfitting of most items.

As you keep going you will sniff out the best details in your run

Traders will often try to keep their best routes secret, more players on the route more the profits drop.

*Cough* *Whistles innocently*

I can tell if someone else is running my circuit because I notice distinct drop in profit/hour.:p

Op, here's another thread for finding your own trade routes:

That gives hints on what to look for, so you can couple that with the 3rd party tools and work out whether a route is good or not.

Don't think there's any difference between modes, or I have missed a few rage quits on this forum.

There is no bonus to being in a different mode.
I suspect the poster is looking to trick the OP there so he/she can do some pirating especially since the suggested system is a starter one often with completely skewed values due to the over-abundance of players. Cannot imagine any profitable routes being found there.

Would be fun though, to watch this forum explode :)

That's not how it goes according to GW Bush:

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once,
shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.

Recommend you look into Trade Dangerous - using the right settings, you can pretty much tailor an outing to fit your needs. Info is available on this forum, and in the ED Codex.

Good luck!

My wife bought be the audible birth day card that has President GW Bush saying that. I open it up often. I will cry when the battery dies
