Fastest Trade Route for beginners

I've seen a lot of threads about frustrations with trading, so hopefully this will help out people just starting out in trading.

*Added new trade route with additional system (Beagle 2 Landing), this trade route is designed for commanders with ~ 40k credits and a hauler.

The quickest path to the Hauler that I have found:

*This data is 24+ hours old, Terrain Enrichment Sys. may have bottomed out by now. You can replace Terrain Enrichment Sys. with Progenitor Cells or Performance enhancers as the next max profit commodity.

That's a really nice piece of work. +1 rep for you

I was killing those Terrain Enrichments Systems 24 hours ago but they have been completely tapped out, demand is now low. Still profitable, but 50% what they were a day ago. I don't think it'll be long until the demand is None at Chango.

Yep, the Aulinians just can't get enough fish! Shame there's no race descriptions - I was convinced last night that they're sentient Sea Lions.

Oh wow, I was just doing that run last night to try and make it to the Cobra, but not yet. I guess I'll have to find a new commodity/route.

Looks like Progenitor cells and Performance enhancers could be decent substitutes for Aulin to Chango.

Nice. Do you have that in a Google doc or some such?

Nice. Do you have that in a Google doc or some such?

I am building my own spreadsheet in Excel with data from every station I visit. It's quite a task, but worth it in the end.

Also, forgot to mention that I was in Solo mode last night, Azeban station disappeared in online mode . I'm not sure but Solo mode might have separate prices compared to Online mode.

I've seen a lot of threads about frustrations with trading, so hopefully this will help out people just starting out in trading.

The quickest path to the Hauler that I have found:

*This data is 12 hours old, Terrain Enrichment Sys. may have bottomed out by now. You can replace Terrain Enrichment Sys. with Progenitor Cells or Performance enhancers as the next max profit commodity.

Which tool is that ?

 

[Recnelis]

Zorgon Peterson Hauler Location?

Can anyone tell me where I can find a Zorgon Peterson Hauler? Ive looked in several places and have yet to find one.

Seems like a lot of commodity prices are are evening up. I guess that's what happens when you let a bunch of traders loose in a small area.

In my little Sidewinder with its limited range, I couldn't find anywhere to sell Titanium for more than I bought it. It was no where near the Galactic Average.

So far, I've only got jump range to about 18 systems with a full cargo load. Maybe less.

 

[Liquidmantis]

Which tool is that ?

It's called Excel.

Thanks, OP! About to go try some of these out.

 

[zeroy]

Great help, thanks!

Updated with a new route.

Prices are down slightly to what you posted the other day but I've suplimented these runs with a couple of missions. Thanks for the tip

This trade route is designed for commanders with ~ 40k credits and a hauler.

So not for beginners then ..

Simply Brilliant!

Plus 1 to Reputation Sir! Nice work! Thank you. :smilie:

A similar route would be:

Morgor --> Dahan: Bertrandite or Gallite
Dahan --> Asellus: Tantalum or Indium
Asellus --> Eranin: Terrain Enrichment or Personal Weapons
Eranin --> Morgor: Tea, Coffee, Meat

The return trip to Morgor is a bit annoying as it's 3 jumps in one trip to get back, but hey, it's only 2 minutes extra of your time. These are all pretty high-value goods (no fish also means clean cargo hold) so the margin is pretty great unless people saturate the markets. It's all good. There's routes all over the place, if one bothers to look.
