Another Lucrative Trade Route:

1. Find a way to obtain a permit to visit van Maanens Star system(0,1). Do this by going to Sol system. Search the bulletin boards on every station until you find someone who needs a parcel to be shipped to van Maanens Star. Now remember to ASK if you need a PERMIT. Agreed.
   
2. Buy luxury goods (ca. 1250 pr ton) at Sol system
   
3. Jump to van Maanens Star system(0,1). Check the bulletin boards at both stations (O'Connor City & Goldstein Starport) for an ad "WANTED: luxury goods will pay 5700 pr ton." They will pay you double price (ca. 5700 pr ton) for 'em. Allthough luxury goods are illegal in this socialist system you will NEVER get caught when you dock with a cargo bay loaded with illegal goods.
   
4. If no ad says "WANTED: luxury goods will pay 5700 pr ton" in either stations you will only get double pay (ca 2800 pr ton) for illegal goods on the blackmarket, but still this is a nice profit. (Use "Rush's Warehouse" when trading in Goldstein's Starport and "Honest John Simpsons" in O'Connor City )
   
5. You can sacrifice some Hyperspace jump speed by fitting a smaller Hyperdrive and thus increasing the size of your cargo bay. Distance in light years from van Maanens Star to Tau Ceti is only 5.98 so you can decrease your Hyperdrive to min. this range. (Tau Ceti has luxury goods as a major export!)
   
6. The biggest problem with this trade route is how to obtain a permit to vanMaanens Star. There should be plenty of people wanting to go there but if you have a small ship and little cash you may not be able to transport more than 1 person or perhaps only parcels. So using the other trade route described elsewhere on this site (luxury goods from Sol -> Bernards Star) to earn money for a bigger ship may be a wise choice.
   

Get to Stations Quickly:

After hyperspace you will find that you are many AU (Astronomical Units) away from any planet or station.

1. Set target at station and engage Autopilot as usually.
   
2. Now set time multiplier to 5(<<<<<) until you reach a speed of ca. 1000 km/s
   
3. Set time multiplier to 1(<).
   
4. Engage Manual Control.
   
5. Press RETURN until speed is Set to ca 5000 km/s (Not the actual speed but the "max" speed)
   
6. Keep pressing return while setting time multiplier to 5(<<<<<) until you are ca. 1 AU away from the station; then set time multiplier to 1(<).
   
7. Engage Autopilot
   
8. Set time multiplier to 5(<<<<<). (REMEMBER: Target MUST be set to the station and Autopilot MUST be engaged)
   
9. As if by magic you now find yourself docking
   

A Brilliant trading route which is totaly safe! The

route is :

1: Go to sol (system)

2: Sell all equipment except for autopilot nav computer and

atmospheric shielding.

3: Buy enough fuel for a trip to Bernards star (near Sol)

4: Fill up remaining cargo space with luxury goods

5: Hyperspace to Bernards star

6: Go to a station (I used miller depot)

7: Sell all luxury goods

8: Buy enough fuel for a trip back to Sol.

9: Fill up remaining space on Robots or Computers

10: Hyperspace to Sol

11: Sell Robots or Computers for huge profit. (look on
bulletin board

for special buyers)

12: Repeat until very rich.

To give you an idea of how well this works , in two hours of
playing
I got from a viper defence craft MII to a Griffin carrier!!

Usually, they will not come out on the exact time.. if you
wait l
ater, about 3 or 4 minutes, sometimes they come out.. I've had
someone come out much later, and MY problem is that they jump
into
hyperspace immediately. However sometimes I try to launch a
missile
at them, and as SOON as I launch, there is an explosion, (my
missile
exploding right in front of me, and its not a result of ecm
either)
and then he disapears.. no hyperspace cloud or anything.. but
about
5 miles out there is debris.. metal alloys.. I'd return to
collect
my bounty, and they say that they are disappointed etc.. Its
pissing
me off because I can't do any assasinations whatsoever! I too
have
it patched.
