    All fair and well, but I suck at trading Apart from using 3rd part tools to tell me what the best deals are and where to buy and where to sell, I end up making minimal margins or breaking even. Some times even making a loss. My brain can't handle that kind of NASDAQ JSE GALNET thinking. This is why I would prefer to explore in order to make tin.

    I can give you a "buy this here, sell it there" trade route that works quite well if you want, so you won't make a loss or small margins. You'd just have to move over to where I am

    I'll also have a look at which rare goods you can go and buy and then sell to make profit, hopefully you won't have to math too much then

    I'm still kinda in two minds about that. I kind of feel I'm making use of an "exploit" in the game (hax), but at the same time it gives extra credits.
    I've used 3rd part website or stuff that tells you what to buy/sell where, to kind of see how it works, but that was about it. Almost a morale obligation.

    Hehe, go and read my first few posts in this thread, and compare them to the most recent few.

    I feel the same way. It doesn't feel like I earned it if I read up on a trade route and which items to buy or just follow a recipe. If I figure out how to down a boss on my own without a guide that's far more rewarding and something I'm likely to remember for ages.

    I don't want to have to alt-tab to use 3rd party resources to be able to do one of the basic things in game. Why is it that a 3rd party website was able to generate better flight paths than the in-game equivalent?

    When an anti-piracy method is affecting the game for people who legitimately bought it and causing other people not to buy the game, there is obviously something wrong with it!

    I got to the spot where I am because Vahl and lordhi said they were playing there. When I got there, they said they found a nice triangle trade route between 3 systems within jump range of one another, so I started with that route. I think there is also a certain amount of luck involved, finding a trade route that is lucrative and short.

    Are you referring to the rare trade goods as the "exploit"?

    Not at all, I'm referring to using 3rd party sites in order to determine the best rates for commodities, where to buy x low and sell x high to reap the best results.


    Edit: By exploits I meant things like this - http://www.elitetradingtool.co.uk/

    Aaah oky, didn't know those existed.

    I was just suggesting coming to where I am, as this is where I found a nice trade route, but without using a tool or website.

    If you don't want to though, a tip would be to buy minerals (silver,gold) at an industrial/mining station (if there is one close-by), and selling them at a technological (forgot the correct term) station.

    My game is updating so slowly

    Downloading at about 40 KB/s, so this will take forever

    Thinking of now buying the Adder instead of the Hauler and using that to then move down to Valda, and use it to move cargo and exploring. Sure it could have a better jump range than the Hauler?
