White Hart Lane?

I used to drink in the White Hart on White Hart Lane.
Everyone was underage and it was opposite a Police Station.

Make of that what you will :woot2:

Tried first half this afternoon:

15:54 departed LHS 3295 (Yang Hub)
16:13 arrived LAVE
16:17 Docked at LAVE STATION
16:18 Bought 100T of Lavian Brandy for 3,400CR per ton. of the 148T available!

Toxandji is 100.64Ly from LAVE

16:20 Departed LAVE
16:40 Arrived HIP 54846 system
16:44 HIP 54846 (Virtanen Station) - docked to refuel 7,728 CR of fuel
16:46 departed Virtanen
16:48 arrived Toxandji system
16:54 Docked at Tsunenaga Orbital

7,028CR Profit per ton - 702,800CR total profit.

Now 133.85 Lyr from LHS 3295 and 220Lyr from Ethgreze..

I didn't upgrade to the Type 6 given the possible wipe and the fact I'm away for much of the next week or 2. Good effort! I did the Lave to Toxandji to Ethgreze and then to the one that has some sort of paste for sale. The Cobra is worth about 6 mill now.

So whilst having a hour of play whilst on holiday.... avg fps 5! I was in Jameson Memorial Station in the Founders System and I bought Progenator Cells for 5700....hopped on system over and sold them for 7300! 1600CR Profit, took some Silver there and hopped 19Ls to the next station and sold them for a 1000CR profit. 100K in 1 jump profit. Back to Jameson for another 12K CR profit.

Thanks to Thrudd, I can now add systems and stations to his trading tool (http://www.elitetradingtool.co.uk/) for us to use.

I have added Moepirt, LHS 3295 and Zeta Trianguli Australis and plan to add the other surrounding worlds as and when - let me know if you have any favourites...

[Jamoe]

Awesome not sure when I'll have chance to jump back in but looking forward to it.

I have to be honest, if we had our own shared folder with screenshots of the commodities markets from our fav stations, it would save us hours of typing. Plus it would be private so nobody else would learn of our routes via the online tools.

Was that a request for a private ED pilot forum, much like the DMW Pilots Lounger for the SC section?

That post was when there were no tools that had up to date trade info in them. Now things have settled a bit there are several sources of good info. So that extreme idea of mine (glad it never took off) can be forgotten. No need for a lounge, we Elite Commanders don't hang around in lounges, we just go straight to the docking bay :norty:

Talking with Vozard and Arcon this morning, I thought I would post this.

If you have a small ship with low cargo capacity, then Rare Commodities  are the answer. First you need to make sure you have a Frameshift drive  capable of 10Lyr or higher - you don't want to get stuck.

A route to take is from our home system of Zeta Trianguli Australis or  it's neighbours, head for Toxandji and at Tsunaga Orbital buy "Toxanji  Virocide" it costs a few hundred CR per tonne. It sells back here for  14-15,000CR per tonne. So a Sidewinder can make 60,000CR in a trip.  That's a lot of trading (15 trips at 1,000CR per tonne).

If you are feeling adventurous, go from Toxandji to Eranin (Azeban City)  sell the Virocide then, buy Eranin Whiskey then take that to Lave (Lave  Station) and sell the Whiskey and buy Lavian Brandy then head back to  Toxandji to sell.

Use your discovery scanner on the way to rack up cartography credits and  stop every 50Lyr to refuel and sell the map data to fund the trip.

Doing the lap twice will raise enough cash to buy a Cobra Mk III.

[albert]

This is all good if there is actually stock of the rare goods in the station which with only a 4 unit cargo hold should be the case but I've seen 1 unit in stock before and I believe there were no units of one commodity this being? (Cigars Arithon?)

Managed this run and made 233,200 credits (Hauler with 16 capacity)

[albert]

It's definitely worth just hanging around in a station for 20 mins whilst enough to reach a Hauler limit spawns. Gets a bit boring waiting for 40 for a Cobra and you can do more trading in an hour with a Type-6 than you will get through rare random spawns. I think it's purely luck whether enough product is for sale.

[Jamoe]

Yea makes sense, I lucked out, when I landed there where 4 units, but I lost connectivity (frequently last night), when I got back on there were another 17 units available.

I ended up using https://cmdr.club/routes/ to workout the journey, 12 jumps roughly 135LY.

[albert]

I've been hopping around in a Type-6 with 28LY jump range. It's Mega economical and I can do 160+ LY on one tank with low load. I may remove 2 cargo modules and drop in a surface scanner and a fuel scoop and go on a road trip.
