Introduction
Hi there, like many of you I've been playing this game a lot since it launched last week. After playing it for a while you get to know the best trading routes you can do to maximize your profit, but that's not enough. The best way to earn money is to seek out the "Delivery Crates" or "Smuggle" quests on bases either for the Syndicate or for any other faction and proceed to buy the supplies for the least amount of money to of course, make a profit.

In order to do so I've made a basic excel table listing all stations, to which faction they belonged to and what were their products and demands. After that, I've sorted out by product and instead of using factions (as they don't matter much) I've switched to where the base was located in space in order to be searched faster its position (by now you probably realized that the planets orbit the Sun making it annoying (but realistic) to search for a specific base).

What I came out with was this attached table that if you print out (or use on a second screen) and keep it next to you, every time you need to BUY or SELL any determined product you can easily check out the table and plot your course.

You will not regret it. =D

Buy ship parts, weapons and /or space suits and sell at Esculap (Mercury). 3 different items: 1 point of sale.

buy hera its good base and the trade missions pay better just hang around new london and stellar mall. save fuel travel as slow as possible that is also how to lv up. activate supply lines with the base your are given and hera. you can set it up that you get space parts just buy tools.

Do a loop between Excalibur, Orion, and CFF Deimos to keep the selling prices high

O wow found a really great way to make credits. Once you get the Transporter (The Bigger one) buy ship parts from New London then go to CFF Deimos and sell them. Don't buy parts over 296 credits and don't sell for less than 320. Starting selling price at Deimos is 428

A good guide but I have to correct you on the Ship Parts selling part. I made an awesome profit buying Ship Parts at New London and selling them at Excalibur. The trick is that you don't buy over 296 Credits and you don't sell under 303 Credits.

If Excalibur ends up having 8 or 10 Ship Parts in stock DO NOT SELL! Leave the station, fly somewhere else and return to land on Excalibur again.

I made an awesome profit between 1,4k and 1,6k Credits this way. :steamhappy:
