This used to be my favorite run. I could make about 90k in 9 minutes. They implemented a supply and demand system in the past few days, which forces players to find more uncommon trade routes, which is something that I think was much needed! Not everybody is going to be trading Laranite/Agricium and Medical supplies anymore. When somebody finds a good trade route, they most likely won’t share it!
I've tried numerious times to accept and complete cheap and easy bounty missions. However, becasue one has to always jump some 30 million to get to a planet, then attempt to circumnavigate around said planet to go a few thousand more to get to an asteroid, then manual fly more than 200 to actually get to target. Considerably too long a process. The amount of money isn't an object, it's the duration of time to get to them that I find an issue.
I get that but in my experience, if you pick up missions from Port Olisar, they usually are around the moons of Crusader and don't take too long to get to and finish (most of the time). Anyway, this is not the best method of making money. I wanted to show people where you can start and learn about ship combat using the Mustang. I do recommend getting a better ship to do more difficult missions.
@@MrSirune I argree, in the six weeks I've been hauling boxes, even with all the server interupts, I've made in excess of a couple of million aUEC's. I personally own a Titan, Prospector and a Sentienal all of which have their cores upgraded as well as wepon which I don't use at this time. Though I know and understand this is in Alpha, just like those that loose everything but what they actually own during a wipe, one looses the boxes undelievered when their is a server interupt also. Which then causes me to have to depending on interupt, restart the game. I'm getting better at getting past the dam interupts, but it's taken more time then I thought it would. I've invested thus far only 655 dollars, which by some standards is almost nothing and to other too much. following other advice, I've put this game on the shelf until a week has gone by that the 3.10 goes live on the PU. Other's stated that's what they do, having issues, put the game down for a bit and come back later. So, that's what I'm going to do.
So all trading stations have a limited stock that refreshes every couple of minutes, in this particular run I got really unlucky and some other players had reached there before me and bought or sold a lot of stock, there are also occasional bugs here and there. Some days something like this happens, but on most days you can follow this method to make about 50k AUEC every 15 minutes or 200k per hour.
