Trade Route Profit and Loss
How are you all making out compared to me and also to help some newer peeps to give them some idea of what they should be making per round trip on a trade route. Oh and you don't have to give trade route specifics just the hard numbers. Thanks
Current trade route:
Distance: 38 ly
Number of jumps each way: 3
Round trip time-frame: 12 min 30 secs on avg
Trade: Gold and slaves
Profit round trip: 2706
Net profit per hour: 12988.8 per ton / per hour
*time-frame is all inclusive from start to finish in the sales cycle including the transfer of commodity not just from station to station

Well post what you are getting would be good to see what others are making and their time-frames to do so
have a one jump 14ly trip netting me about 2400 per ton round trip.
That's really good Bebob a little more than me at 13800 per ton per hour in my Asp at 128 tons that would net 1,711,200 per hour makes the grind down to the next ship significantly shorter

Come to pand on the edge of settled space youll make a motsa.
2 stations in the same system. 500LS apart. 104T = ~110K per trip. Takes about 4-5 minute per trip (one way). So ~110K/5min.

I did it til' i puked from going back and forth, back and forth, back and... But made money the fastest i ever done in ED. Might just be average to you avid traders, but m a b-hunter at heart and i welcomed the extra dough big time.

Umm one 7.5 LY jump. Trading 500 tons of Bertrandite + Gallite one way, Beryllium + gold on the way back. Both stations are within 13 Ls of their stars.
Comes out to around 5.5 - 6 million an hour depending on whether I check the bulletin board or not.

Yeah bigger impact, that said chubby, if youre in a quite system on the edge of space youll be affecting system and staion upgrades on the background simulator to
It's actually very simple to do indeed.
Switch your modules to grade D, which can reduce your ship's mass by several tons and increase your jump range by a couple LY. Then upgrade your FSD to C or B if that doesn't do it.
I'm also sometimes getting a message saying "Jump exceeds the maximum fuel usage of 2 tons" and I don't know what that's about. Fuel tank is 16 tons total, and is almost full, so I have no clue why that message appears and my jump is canceled.

Are you selecting your destination but not plotting a route?
You may need to take multi-jumps to reach the destination, not jump to the destination in 1.
So what your saying is the further away we go the more money we should be able to make per ton? I am just wondering about how far away from the start zone are you?
