Alright fellow travelers, I'll teach you how to make BIG units FAST.

Now don't go around telling people I told you this. It's a big secret so keep it on the down low. Know what I'm saying? They're watching me very closely.

Anyway, we're going to destroy the wiring loom market and here's how.

1. Accumulate approximately 2 million units minimum before proceeding. You can mine silver, gold, and platinum from asteroids and sell at a space station until you reached 2 million units.

2. Go to a space station in a strong economy system. Start buying all the wiring looms you can from other ships docking.

3. Once you filled your inventory up with wires, go to the galactic trade post computer near the shops and sell all the wires until the wiring loom value goes down to approximately -77% from the buy portion on the computer.

4. Keep buying more wiring looms from ships docking and selling them at the computer until wiring looms have reached approximately -77% value.

5. Now for the fun part. Buy as many wiring looms as you can from ships docking as you can hold at the now -77% value (extremely cheap). You will economically be in the hole at this point.

6. Leave the space station and summon your freighter. Dock at the freighter and sell ALL the cheap wiring looms you bought at full price there.

7. The value of the wiring looms you purchase at the space station is not affected at your freighter so you can continuously buy cheap at ships docking at the station and sell expensive to ships docking on your freighter.

8. Repeat steps 5 through 6 until you are satisfied with how many units you have.

Using this tactic, I went from 2 million to over 50 million in less than an hour. As time goes on, the value of wiring looms at the station slowly goes back to normal so you may need to bring it back down again in order to still buy cheap and sell expensive.

You didn't hear this info from me now go get filthy rich.

No. I didn't hear it from you. I heard it from somewhere else a long time ago.

You stack your inventory and starship with wiring looms, then all the npc ships disappear.
To solve or make the time pass, jump to other system and pray for luck, then jump back to refill

Or just reload a save.

This, same with Chlorine >.> Too lazy to jump to a billion systems. Just shove stacks of Oxygen into refiners. You can also Re-Buy the chlorine you sold and sell it again in another system.

meh, i don't actively try to make money all i do is send fleets off on missions and my cash wont stop climbing.

it may not be as efficient as standing in a space station for 4 hours buying and selling wiring looms but i feel like i'm actually playing the game. 5-6 missions will clear 8-12 million cash and your all but certain to get another 5-20 million in loot to sell. sure that's daily but i'm only playing one session a day at most and money is pointless once you have all the tech you want.

This is speculation on the market! Using the method of price collapse when buying / selling, as well as reselling, has never been respected in business. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this, and these are just market manipulations, but to each his own...
