i am sorry to say... there is no perfect Station that guarantees you to make Money early on.


Go out and venture into the other Systems... find your future Trade Partners and decide on the highest demand what kind of Station you want to assemble.

Check the economy in the Teladi sectors around your player hq. Safe space, high concentration of stations and all resources to mine.
= Profitsss

What i do,i use an explorer to explore all system around the highway and i put sat around station or explore every system.Then if you scroll with your mouse to see the whole map sector the trade system will tell ya what globaly is in need for what you have discovered.If its mineral stuff or silicium then order more miner.If its manufactured stuff,build the right one.Ive never go wrong this way.

Honestly just save up 500k and buy a miner and have it automine, next 500k do the same rinse and repeak, you'll have disposable cash in no time

A sure money winner can be found in the basic principles of Economics.
Everything is based on two factors, Power and Communication.
So, Solar power plant (it even works without personnel) and communication as in transferring goods from A to B (their cost to build and manufacture, you just carry), or fetching the resources needed (mining)

There is a specific station that will always make good money, an Advanced Electronics factory. Set up right next to an NPC wharf or equipment dock. You can ensure that the NPC station will always buy Advanced Electronics at a high price by buying advanced satellites from the equipment dock, then refunding them, which erases the station's inventory of Advanced Electronics and Scanner arrays, because refunding doesn't add components back, causing it to put up a high price to buy more.
