So I have the most profitable trade route in the galaxy.

[Kerb]

Not slaves.

123 light years, 7 jumps in a type 6 with a 18-22ly jump distance, 6 jumps return.

~650K profit.

Very fast run, no issues along the way. No need to refuel until at either end of the run. Basically the perfect run.

Not sure if it gets better than this, not sure if you can get richer quicker.

The corn alone will cash in for 750k if you can pick up all 50 in stock.

Todays patch might have removed the 50 corn stock. I ran it last night so it's worth a check.

Ahh yes the gravy train. I've been running it for the past couple of weeks now.

my run is still better. it's 25% less distance, with only a 13% less payout. On balance, it simply pays better in the long run, and it only requires stopping at 2 stations in total; one to buy, one to sell. And it's quick.

You have omitted to say what your run is.

Good traders never do :)

FRA states you never share your trade secrets, let alone with rivals.

Basically, it's a 10-15 minute run for ~650k profit. It'd be much shorter if it wasn't for all the jump animations.

The 16/18 tons of Zeessze Ant Grub Glue sell for 16,761. I should have added that. If you get the low of 16 tons in stock you still get 268,176cr. So the full run gets you 1,018,176cr..

So your looking at 30% less. And if in you can make a few stops around Zeessze and fill up on other rares. Brings it closer to 1.5mil on one side and 1.5mil on the other for a total of 3 million a run.

And where talking 2-3 more jumps if you only stop at Zeesse lol. Your route is awesome for somthing you found alone.

But you're forgetting the time it takes to make the run, and the user involvement of it.

Mine is like this:

1. Dock, buy cargo, disembark, set destination path in galaxy map.
2. Jump 7 times, no issues along the way.
3. Dock, Sell cargo, set return destination path.
4. Jump 6 times to get back.

Rinse repeat.

Since most of trading times are spent traveling to places in systems and docking, only having to do so twice in an entire run saves on tons of time wasting tasks. I don't have to fiddle with looking through the galaxy map and setting travel paths a bunch of times.

Fair enough. Just tossing it out there. Not sure what your hauling but its hard to beat a 18,750cr investment that nets 750kcr. That's safe trading.

But all it would be is.

1. Buy cargo, disembark, set destination path in galaxy map.
2. Jump 9 times, no issues along the way.
3. Dock, Sell cargo, set return destination path.
4. Buy cargo, disembark
5. Jump 9 times to get back

7+6=13 jumps total

9+9=18 jumps total

that's 5 extra jumps on top of the extra efforts, for very little extra profit, but much more extra time, I think you might even need to stop along the way to refuel too.

lol, my math is off. Still only 5 more jumps. And you would need a fuel scoop correct. I'm not doubting your route by any means. Just as said tossing it out there..

Someone sounds like they never did trading or smuggling in a T9/anaconda. 8-10+ mil an hour

No need to be rude.

But your right never.

I've looked at the trading units, basically outside of rares, the best profit you can hope for is ~3K per ton in a ~160ly run. At 220 tons, that's about the same amount of profit, but possibly for more distance and expended total time, especially if refueling midway is involved.

I haven't had anything beyond a type 6 yet, but I heard you can get as high as 35ly+ in jump distance, so my run could be reduced to about 4-5 jumps there and 3-4 jumps back, 8 or so in total, which would still be better than any other @ 650k profit and could be performed more than several times in an hour at that rate. So we're looking at 5 million an hour at least, if not more.
