what's your best profit / ton ?

For me, Palladium bought at 12610, sold at 14238 for 1628 profit per ton.... using an asp with 120 cargo space I have a trade route with 3 stops in 2 systems.... total profit per stop 123,000.......23,000........195,000 for a total of 341 K per lap about 3-4 laps per hour.
 
You found some good number here. I think the maximum I saw in my game was about 1300 but I am not really hunting this. In ASP you can get more credits from rare trades. I think I can make look in about 2 hours and that nets about 1.5 mil.

Impressive, I love knowing that there are little gems out there like this as long as traders are willing to go out and search
 
Ive got a back and forth between two systems in Imperial space 12 light years from each other, Imperial slaves one way at a profit of 1140/t, gold the other way at around 1030/t in my Type 7 with 232 cargo, about 500k profit per 12 minutes.

Don't bother running to check Slopeys, the system names are there, but none of the stations or their goods have been populated yet. Ill be sure to fill it out when I leave the area. ;) Really, Im getting negative rep for being honest. Wow you people.

Usually a round trip that makes 1500 credits per ton is what im looking for. Fortunately few days ago i found 2 systems 30 ly away. Its Consumer Tech (1300 profit) one way and Gold (1400 profit) back. I like this place :).

My Imperial Clipper can carry 248 (no shields), so i make around 650k every round trip. Cant tell you how many credits per hour, i will be damned, if im going to start to count stuff like this. Im not an accountant, i fly starships!

Out.
Gold @ 8.792 sold @ 10.235 = 1.443 PT
104T = 150.072 Profit
Return.
Resonating Separators @ 5.397 sold @ 6.660 = 1.263 PT
104T = 131.352 Profit
5 jumps each way fuel cost 7.600

Total Profit = 273.824

It takes a while longer, but if you have the stamina to do mining, that Palladium could be netting you 14,238 profit per ton. ;)
 
25Ly 2 jumps between 2 systems in a T-7 232T cargo space: Palladium for 1630Cr profit about per T, Beryllium on the return for 1355Cr profit per T.
 
2,400 / ton round trip (1,400 gold, 1,000 performance enhancers). Prices have hardly budged in the week I've been exploiting it.

I had a trip like that, 10.8 LY, got me into a well-equipped Asp before it went on its face; I have one that pays a little over a thousand per ton over three jumps of about eight LY apiece. Each one has a scoopable star so the trip only costs about a thousand in fuel in Type-9 with a B6 drive.
 
There is a place on the periphery I found where I was making 1777/t on palladium. It was 5 jumps, which isn't really bad in the type 6, but on the return trips the best thing was power generators for like 365/t :( I've found much better and shorter round trips since then but never that much per ton.

1523 cr/t one way (gold), 1202 cr/t return (resonating separators) .
452 tons per run.
3 trips an hour = approx 3.7M.
 
1815 cr/t palladium >> and 1150cr/t slaves in return .. using ASP with 128t no shields.. going to upgrade it to type 7 but dont know how much its FSD upgrade cost
 
Biggest one was 1701 cr/t profit on palladium, return trip was 943 cr/t profit on performance enhancers....just a single jump.
 
6 System round trip, with 3 stops, probably up to 20 minutes with a bit fuel scooping getting int he way. About 1m for the round rip.
1300-1400 for each: Imp. Slaves, Palladium or Gold, and Consumer Tech.
And I thought I had it nailed pretty good :)

It's the same FSD as the Asp. You can dock, downgrade the frameshift before selling the asp, then buyback the A class on the type 7
 
Best I got for now is 1350 both ways with 4 jumps. (Haven't played for a few days, don't know if it held) Getting better would require going to outposts which I can't do with a T7. With 208 cargo it netted me 540K profit for a return trip and less than 15 mn estimate.
