best way to make money?
i have 80hrs now and got myself to a well equiped t9 heavy transport to make money trough trading between stations and carreers. Im always looking for the best prices and stuff but i feel like i could find a better way to make money so how do you make it? (I make about 2-7mil an hour depends on market)

Depends on how far in to opening and extending your engeneeres you are.
Combat - up to 100mil / hour (lots of engineering required).
Exploration - first discovered star system with several Earthlike / water / ammonium / Tera morph world can earn you up to 6 millions each (maximum engineering required).
Trading (tritium) - up to 250 million / h (heavily depends on location)
Mining - low temperature diamonds / Void opals / Deep core mining - up to 400 mil / h. However I suggest it is a bit disbalanced.

However it is more like high end content gaming. Once you hit this limits game can become not so exciting. So be sure to balance your experience.

Yep noticed that tho but im pretty unexpierienced with engeneering. On my best trading times i made up to 11mil per jump trough tritium and only cause the player with the carrier was able to pay the double amount of the normal price so he kinda disbalanced it :D but it was a nice starting help for me. I guess im going to switch to mining soon when i got some money or maybe make the famous trip so the middle of the milky way. I dont want to get rich i just want to know the game. Ty for the tips

combat 100m an hour? did you add a zero by mistake? cos even yamics has said combat is about 10-15m an hour at best.

the tritium trading is nerffed so thats off the table.

and indeed the LTDs while still profitable are also nerffed as of this very morning.

so its back to passenger missions, and 50-100m p/H

Not a pure "jump in and shoot things" combat. But talking combat related missions.
