noob wants game advice

Build a solarplant near the northgate of the start-sector, buy and sell on your own. You will get really fast enough credits for good guns, shields and other shipimprovements.

With the time you will see other chances for stations to make money

Trading won't do it, you must build a base of trade, that is build a factory and all the supporting resource plants or factories, then see if any of those need support. If yopu own the supply and demand you can control prisces to keep the NPC freighters coming and still pay for all the resources your factory needs.i like the computer plant as you only need to supply it with three factories. You have to trade first to build up the cash to buy all this stuff but that's part of the game, I trade in Energy Cells as I explore. Then when I have the cash I start buying my own facts. Good luck and have fun.

I always buy a Wheat Farm [since X-BTF] and put it (I think) on Argon Prime or some near sector and with cheap energy cells u can make quite a profit and make -if u like- Cloth from the Cloth Rimes factory

It's cheating but the fastest way to fortune is Artmoney. You can increase anythng you can find.

I sold the Argon Buster that is given to you at the start and bought a Argon Lifter with it. Once done buying cargo upgrades, speed upgrades and rudder upgrades I had 40k credits left over to spend on cargo. Once I have enough cash I will be buying a Wheat Farm to put up in Argon Prime, and another trading ship to auto buy and sell items.

If you really want to get your reputation up and make a heap of credits buy a factory and place them in the Paranid. Eg Taladiadum factory. Leave it not only will you make money but your reputation goes up. Paranid Prime is a good example for this. You do have to set your ships a 3 plus gate jump. Hope this helps

If you cheat your ranks will not go up.

Bogas factories in Teladi Sectors and Teladianium Foundries in Boron Territory. As an added bonus - Wheat farms in both.
Once you got that down you can start a chain of profit in some abandoned sector (preferably pirate. I think there is one that has only 3 stations). Build a chain that would leat to Beta H.E.P.T. production. Then go for Sattelites and Lasertowers as well. You will be raking cash.

But in the very beginning... boron dolphin doing Energy cells is the best way to get your money up to your first million. Then you can travel around the sectors and accumulate silicone and sell 3000 of it to a silicon-starved factory (you'll have to use a jumpdrive). If you don't have money for silicone then do Ore.

It might be obvious, but build any money making factory (I did a silicon mine), assign a freighter to collect energy for it. Then park next to it and go S.E.T.A while doing other things around the house (mow the lawn!). Should make $$ on its own.
