Whenever you buy a gigantic load of cargo and Star Citizen 318, you never know if you're gonna make it back to the cell Port.
This is the very definition of high risk.
High reward.
One of the worst things you could possibly do is take this C2 or the caterpillar and immediately jump right into trading the Quantum Drive on this thing is horrible.
If you just purchase the caterpillar or the Hercules do yourself a favor and fly over to crew L5, where you can get a much better Quantum, Drive, it'll run, you 93k and just make sure that you save and equip your changes.
Now I plan to run cargo in the constellation Taurus as well and can't do that unless I buy the ship which is relatively expensive.
This is the largest medium freighter.
You can possibly buy in Star Citizen.
It holds 174 SCU worth of cargo before you trade in the Taurus, make sure you head over to port trestler and buy an XL1 Drive.
These faster drives will totally save your life.
Now that I have the fastest Quantum drives in both of my ships, I'm going head over to the Microtech system, we're going to hit the moon of uterpy and then go to Bud's Glory.
These new Quantum drives will spool and calibrate faster as well as having a much faster.
Cool down time.
Bud's growery is not an enormous zone.
So I'm making sure that this is going to be my first stop I plan to fill up on distilled Spirits as well as rob a bunch of guns, here's a loot compilation of all the red crates.
We found while we're in here at Bud's Brewery man, we got hooked up.
So if we were here with the C2, which holds four times the amount of cargo as the Taurus I would be filling up with distilled Spirits as well as processed food, considering the profit margins are much bigger on the distilled spirits that can't afford to waste any space with that food with a full load of spirits on board, we're gonna head over to the Moon of calliope from there we're going to land at the Grand settlement, smca 6.
The master plan is to sell all these spirits and then buy a whole bunch of gas for our next stop.
Hopefully there's, not a whole.
Heck of a lot of other people trying to sell distilled Spirits here, all right, dun, dun done Moment of Truth we're about to see if there are a whole bunch of other people, trying to sell distilled Spirits at the exact same time, I'm trying to sell distilled Spirits.
Now it is okay.
If we don't sell them all here, although I'll make more profit.
If I do I'm, just hoping I can sell most of them.
Yeah, 160 seu that's, pretty much.
The majority of what I bought next.
We are going to try to buy a whole bunch of astatine astatine is going to be the most profitable gas that we can possibly load up on right now.
And although they don't have very much I'm gonna buy all 43 SE right now.
And if you have more cargo space like I do you're going to want to stock up the rest of the way with fluorine, try not to buy any chlorine because that stuff isn't as profitable as the fluorine or the astatine at this point you're going to want to check the commodity alerts in your journal.
And look for medical supplies, whatever is the Overstock place that's where you're going to go in the Microtech system.
You can get these medical supplies in two different places at rhianori McGrath or rianari.
Anvik master plan for here is to Pawn off the rest of the distilled Spirits as well as all those gases.
Then load up on medical supplies.
First things, first I'm going to Pawn off the rest of these distilled Spirits.
Now, I'm, pretty sure since I only had 13 SCU worth they're, pretty much probably going to buy every single one of them because they're a bunch of drunkards now time to sell all this acetine and well, it looks like somebody else has already sold a bunch of astatine here.
Now, this fluorine isn't, super duper profitable.
But the space trucker motto is you'd never fly with an empty cargo.
Hold you always want to maximize as much profit as you possibly can per hour while you're doing this.
It is now that bad time rear Admiral we're going to load up the rest of this Taurus with medical supplies, which are hugely profitable.
Our next stop is the snow covered lens at new Babbage in the system of Microtech now, we're going to do something a little bit cheeky we're, not going to land at the airport.
Notice the airport to the left of me, there's a tram system that actually comes off of that.
Now there's a little offshoot, which connects to four little domes that's, where you're going to want to land to the back side of the domes.
There will be this little area that you can land on it's kind of an uphill incline it's, right next to an area where you can summon, ground-based Vehicles find these surface, entrance, you'll run through this door.
And then there'll be another door run through that down at the end of the hallway there's going to be an elevator you'll want to take this elevator directly to the commons, you'll get out of the elevator and run through the commons, where all the NPCs are fake exercising.
Then you're gonna run all the way through the factory line at the very end you'll run into the tdd doing it.
This way instead of landing at the airport will save you about 10 to 15 minutes on each one of these trips, which will add up to a whole bunch of extra profits, let's Pawn off this load of medical supplies for 265k.
Then I can finally get rid of the rest of this acetine sure was a shame they didn't buy it at the mid place because I would have been able to sell more Med supplies doing that trade run took about 20 to 25 minutes.
And we ended up making 97k, which is really good for the Taurus.
If I had used the C2 we would have made a lot more than that.
Next up is the Hurston system, we're going to be going over to the Moon of Ariel and trading on bezdek with the C2.
This is basically going to be a back and forth back and forth trade route from aerial all the way back down to Louisville over and over as many organic loads as we possibly can trading larynite as well as titanium.
You definitely won't fill the C2 up all the way with laronite, but you'll have a never-ending supply of titanium now.
Well, they only have 66 SCU of larynite available, right now, that's unfortunate somebody kind of bought them out a little bit before I got here, that's, okay, though we'll scarf up as much larynite as we possibly can.
And then we'll just fill up the rest of the way with titaniums.
Now they have 8 000 available and the C2 only holds 696.
So yeah, they're gonna have plenty of titanium.
Oh man, what's that smell I can smell it from here.
All that fresh Cargo in the morning, while doing this back and forth and back and forth trade route.
You can squeeze in about three runs per hour while you're doing this just depends on how lucky you are with the trains.
And if you get left behind when you're doing this trade run, you basically want to do the best deck to lauraville lauraville, De, Lathan, Lathan to lauraville, lauraville, De bezdek.
And so on, try not to hit the same place twice, no I just realized the last time I rode.
This train I was a total complete Noob at the very beginning of this best start God.
Those train rides in Hurston are like totally and completely ridiculous.
Let's get our pitiful amount of larynite pond off it's only 66 Su.
It looks like we're going to be able to sell it for 204k last, but not least is going to be our freaking mountainous pile of titanium.
We have here, 630 seus, that's like ridiculous gonna sell it for 560k, total profit for about 20 minutes of work is 140k.
Remember that Trucker's motto when I said, never fly with an empty hold well.
We can fix that right now you can buy scrap right here and then fly it over the reclamation center and then sell it right there before heading to Ariel running scrap there can be risky, but you will make about 91k extra per hour.
If you do that let's now head over to the r Corp system.
Our very first stop is going to be the moon of Walla we're gonna head over to the Shady Glen farms and completely and totally load up with a bunch of distilled Spirits as well as food probably gonna rip off a whole bunch of guns, too this trade run as well as the one in Microtech are definitely one of my favorite trade runs to do.
You know, as long as everyone's going to buy my distilled Spirits boo.
They only had one box to rip off time to hit up the Commodities terminal and wow, it looks like hardly anybody is trading distilled Spirits as well as processed food.
Now, the food isn't a big surprise.
But these Spirits actually is within your region, all of these servers are going to share the exact same economy, I'm willing to bet that somebody right now in a different server is actually buying distilled Spirits, probably not the food, though probably the only guy buying the food right now.
Our next stop is on the exact same Moon, we're going going to head over to the r, Corp 045, Mining facility in the r.
Corp system, there's, actually, two places.
You can get larynite they're, both on Walla first one's going to be where we're going to at 045.
And our next stop is going to be at 056.
let's hope.
Both of these places are going to hook me up fat.
Now.
This run can be hit or miss you're.
Either gonna strike it freaking absolutely rich.
When you hook up with at least 400 scus of larynite and other times, well, they're not even going to hook you up or buy all your distilled Spirits.
It totally depends on who's trading.
Right now.
Who's got a big giant load of distilled Spirits.
You guys want to drink some with me.
What, do, you mean I can only sell, nine se.
You never mind give me, my damn beers.
Back, you guys suck well.
That was totally and completely unfortunate I'm guessing, multiple people literally sold, a whole bunch of distilled Spirits there, well, at least I can count on these people being really fat, because they basically bought all my food.
Well, at least we can get 112 SCU of larynite, which isn't too bad.
This place is actually better than the next spot.
I can generally get over 200 SCU.
Here just depends on the time of day I'm trying to trade in order to keep your loot as safe as possible.
You always want to set your route as well as spool your Quantum.
Drive before you take off.
Ah, this should be interesting.
Looks like we have some Reds here.
The next thing you want to do to keep your cargo.
Safe is go into F4 mode and just kind of be the ship look around the ship make sure that there is nobody around before you drop that elevator.
Yep, those Reds never stood a chance.
The moment I got out of the arm is a Sono is pretty much on Target and jumping out with my Quantum Drive.
Realistically, I know, somebody is just ahead of me.
So I, don't think I'm going to sell very many distilled spirits.
Of course, not only 34 this time.
If you know, somebody is just ahead of you on one of these trade routes just switch to a different area because server hopping that's, not going to help you so much see what I mean about the activity I can only buy a 36 SEO of laranite right now.
There is at least one person or multiple people doing this trade route that I'm doing right now.
The next best thing to buy is going to be the astatine.
And if the astatine is out, well, you definitely want to get diamonds because anything else is going to be a waste of your time let's quickly head over to Area 18 catch the train right, which at least isn't as long as in Herson and then sell over loot.
Do you need a massive ship like the C2 Hercules to make a killing at trading in Star Citizen 318.
The short answer is no.
But the long answer is yes, much like in life.
Bigger is most definitely better soon as we sell all this I'll do a total profits for all three runs combined.
Now of course, I would have made more if I would have traded with the C2 and Microtech system.
But hey, it is what it is.
This run right here in our Corp system is one of my favorites, although this time I basically got kind of screwed over on the distilled spirits that doesn't happen, very often it's, just that's.
The look of the draw.
Someone got there a little bit before me.
They got all the quantities then I'm left with all the crappy demand.
They don't want to buy anymore, total profit for all three trade runs combined, was 354 000, 53 auec.
Congratulations, we're Admiral.
You are now ready to take on the verse.
