Trading Routes and Tools

[Lameduck]

Managed 2 return trips to TOXANJI for a few (32 containers of the golden virus and made 430,000 samoleums, taking my kite in excess of half a million.
Just had my last trip on Gamma 2.07 and I would like to thank all of you guys who have been so helpful to this geriatric space walker. Much appreciated and look forward
 to upgrading at noon today.

Awesome, nice wee bonus to start the game in full Glory. What you need now is a nice 200k new ship to reward yourself.

So I was curious about the rare trading and found some interesting links to shar

I just found a simple tool to record stations supply. It does not record prices, But demand and supply, so it it easy to find routes. You update it easily by yourself.
You can also keep track of Outfitting and Shipyards for later use.
It can also be used to see where to find items for missions.

I will try this over Christmas.

I like the sound of this. I found most of the places I explore are not charted so I have to make a good guess on what to buy at which price. I take a note of the galaxy minimum price I see for all items and if I find an item at or near the minimum I know to buy it. I then find a large population wealthy system of the type that buys the commodity I just put in my cargo hold and I go there and make a profit. Minimum 500CR profit per unit without Thrudd or other calculators.

The biggest issue and challenge is finding goods that are on the fetch missions, with a short time period.

CMDR Oldbloke mentioned yesterday evening he fancies trying to find out what the Type 9 ships Seeking Luxuries, are after. Turns out Performance Enhancers (they're not interested in Gold or Consumer Tech btw) are one thing they want and it just so happens that Tryggvason Orbital in Zeaex has a job lot of 'em at 6440CR which is nearly 700CR below the average.

183Ls away is a Seeking Luxuries marker and there the trader (via skimming past him 200Km away) will gladly take all your performance enhancers and give you 1105 CR profit per ton!

Roll on 534820CR profit per run in the 484T Type-9 behemoth !

It's faster than jumping, uses very little fuel and is making me a million CR every 20 mins right, try it out before they nerf!

Plus the added advantage of reduced chance of overheating on exiting hyperjump in front of one of those nasty little white dwarfs! Type-9 has no turning speed, so you have to cut all engine speed on dropout at the Nav beacon or burn up!

Our "Seeking Luxuries" trade run in Beta Scupltoris is (in)famous and may soon come to an end (in civil war).

If you get the "A" rated FSD for that ship, you can jump 29Lyr (19 laden).

Why would I want to spend more money on this heap of rubbish when it is only meant to make money for my cobra?

It jumps 18Lyr unladen which is enough and will do most runs I need.  But I dont want to spend any more money on it.

Because you can sell it for the same money before you sell the T6 and lose nothing.

Just a note that Frontier have commented regarding the "Seeking Luxuries" route we are all enjoying right now. They have said normally the supply of Performance Enhancers should run out, but due to a bug, they haven't. So this won't last.

Get rich while you can peeps!
