Just curious - what are the commodities?
Palladium and Imperial Slaves
edit:
I'll be honest, I didn't finish verifying the prices at "B" once I saw the 96k LS trip. Trying to make "A" part of a triangle now.
edit2:
so close to a triangle....43k ls.
If they ever let us micro-jump to secondary stars, SO many routes will open up.
edit3:
Found a triangle. One leg is a little longer than I'd like (~60 LY), but there are stars positioned in pretty much a straight line at ~max jump range. Going to try repositioning my Asp to see what kind of haul I bring in. I may need to search again for a new "A" world to work from.
edit 4:
Triangle complete. Here are the stats from my trial run in my Asp, which presently has 120 cargo capacity and a 20.18 laden jump range.
Leg 1: Consumer tech at a profit of ~1400 per ton. With my Asp's 120 ton cargo capacity, that's ~167,000 profit.
Leg 2: Imperial slaves at a profit of ~1700 per ton. This leg nets ~204,000 profit.
Leg 3: Palladium at a profit of ~1650 per ton. This leg nets ~198,000 profit.
All three legs are based at stations capable of supporting large vessels.
Total combined profit from the trial run: 570120 credits.
Average profit per ton between all three legs: 1583 credits per ton.
Longest leg ~60 LY (as the crow flies).
Total travel time (from take off to landing at the central station): ~20 minutes.
Profit per hour (with 120 ton cargo capacity): 1.7 million credits per hour.
Perhaps some of you don't believe me, but these types of routes are indeed present within the game if you sift through the numbers enough.
I'm dining on Witchhaul Kobe steak tonight ^_^
