Hey fellow Elites,

So, i decided to get into trading with my 750,000 budget; I need to know:

-What ship would you buy for Trading use?
-Exactly what upgrades would you buy for it?
-What sort of money will I be earning per Hour of Trading?

P.S

My budget can obviously be saved up a little higher over the next couple of days, lets say 850,000 max
The trader will not be used for fighting at all, I will not sell my Viper (only ship) for trader upgrades.
I found a trading calculator website called Thrudds ED tools, encase anyone wanted to have a look (google it).

thanks!:) CMDR Clilverd

A Cobra and as much Diso corn as you can get your paws on.

Should come out to something like 800k profit per load. After a couple hauls you can buy a 4A FSD and the incoming cash will implode your ship.

Yes, Agree with Chubbs,
On your Budget a Cobra is your best option.

Get the best Power Coupling you can afford, a Fuel scoop and some decent Thrusters. (don't go crazy, keep enough for insurance and trade goods)
Then slot up for as much cargo space as you can.
I'd suggest doing some Rare trade runs, long hauls but they pay well.

Then upgrade your FSD as you go.

The reason behind prioritising the Power couplins and Thrusters upgrade, is so you can out-run interdictions easy.
(When you become adept and confident at outrunning interdictions you can sell your shields for more cargo space.)
Not having any weapons decreases your weight, and allows you to jump further.

Good luck Commander hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies :)

Well, my continued bounty hunting has proven very profitable - Im sitting in a dock with 1,500,000 in my pocket looking at a Lakon Type-6 Transporter for 1,045,000.
Im not sure its a good idea, my golden rule (after buying the Viper too early, a while ago) Is "Save up for something 3 times before buying it".
So with my Updated Budget i have 3 options here... sorry! lol...

1) Will the Type-6 need upgrades? or can i safely take it trading "as it comes" with successful profits?

2) If the Lakon Type-6 requires upgrades in order to be considered "much safer and/or efficient"... how many more Cr do you think i need to do that?

3) Alternatively - i could do what you said originally and buy a Cobra for 380,000-Cr, where i am docked.

I love E:D but making decisions like this for the first time are hard :p
Thanks again guys, sorry for the Update haha.
