  • Folks, can someone experienced with trading give here info how to start with trading, how works containers, how works dynamic economy, how to get info about daily trades etc.? We have something in wiki, use it. But will be really helpful have all this here on one place. thx (details welcome). Tried today explain things to one guy and failed badly ...


    (info can be then added to wiki as "separate" guide.)

  • :D and something little more detailed as "recruitment flyer"? ^^:P

  • somehow get 55 Million $ to buy a Train, then buy Containers on one house planet (tokio->BUY Beryllium Container) and sell them on a different one (Berlin-> SELL BerylliumCont., buy irdium-Cont. and back.)


    is 5,2 mio from one planet to another, 10,4 mio when you come back.
    is 600k / per min, when there is a better route, like organisms from honshu to shikoku then use ofcourse the better one ;)


    Made like 3 Billion this way.
    BUT you need a train, feel free to contact me for starting credits for a Train!

  • Well, i stop trading anyway... only done few times when no one is around though ...


    Now, i just farming and enjoying the RP ... that's all ...

  • If you gathered enough money then you dont need to trade anymore anyway.
    There is no way within the game how you could spend like 2.000.000.000 $ or more. never.

  • Well, I think the hardest part is the beginning *until* you can afford a Soulforge Train. Once you have it, money are no longer an issue ... So if someone starts from very beginning and wants to make the money completely on it's own, that's what I would suggest:


    Part 1: Getting neutral

    • Somehow gather 2 mio credits with the first char (podding, trading, helping other players with transfers)
    • Create a *new* char, transfer the money to it with help of another player and buy Lavablades for the Starflier or Patriot LF, if you want be more agile (note: this char mustn't shoot any NPCs!)
    • Shoot 2 Containers (of 4 on depot) from Liberty Police, Inc. near Planet Manhattan (Trade-Lane to Detroit Munitions) - die (or if you earlier bought Patriot LF continue with next point)
    • Shoot 2 Containers DSE at the same place as before - die (or with Patriot LF just evade and run away)
    • Buy a Junkers Bribe on Rochester Base in New York for 1 mio creds (re-dock until the guy offers the correct one)
    • Buy a Zoners Bribe on Neutro Station in Custodian for ~700k (re-dock as above)
    • Now this char is neutral to all human factions in Sirius - can fly everywhere (almost) without troubles


    Part 2: Creating a ship to look up prices (as prices/routes change daily - aka dynamic economy)

    • Use the char from step 1 and buy a Dromedary (freighter) on Planet Monoc in Custodian for 80k creds
    • Trade a bit along the way, 'cause we want another neutral char, so we need 2 mio again
    • Start exploring Sirius and dock on every single station
    • Buy every commodity and put in 1x into your hold (perishable commodities ofc a bit more)
    • You can look up trade-routes inside your hold for every station you have visited!
    • For having a trader with max. amount of free cargo, create a second trader as mentioned above and use this one for the trades you've looked up with the "price-looking-ship"
    • Trade until you can afford at least a Transport, goal is a Soulforge Train, ofc...
