if you refine ore, is it all-or-nothing when it comes to going to market with it? If one has a titan, are you able to max it out and just make multiple trips or do you need to have enough cargo to hold it all at once?

@rose cedar If you do not have the cargo space in your own ship, you can rent a ship with enough cargo the day you need more. Drake Cutlass Black (46 SCU) at refineries, MISC Freelancer at Cargo decks (66 SCU), or Constellation Andromeda (96 SCU)

For the 3.19 trade and mining updates I hope the mining stations on Aberdeen get a more valuable trade item like Arial has. Will everyone holds hands with us and pray for this to happen? Dear CIG and RSI hear our trade prayers and we will love you even more. Thanks!!

Yeah, just in case you had only one ship. I wouldn't melt my cutty to a vulture if it was my only ship

Anyway, whether you upgrade your cutty in vulture or not is all personal choices and I'm tired. Leaving this to others or yourself.

Should I get the Prospector or Vulture?

sacred raptor
#

Vulture is completely self sustaining

#

Prospector requires a hauler

#

Also mining is getting a big overhaul in 3.19

YOu can buy a prospector in game, can't buy a vulture in game yet

#

looking at trade routes, would i be fine to pick up laranite and such in my caterpillar on moons then take them to PO or is it worth making the run to A18 or something if I can find enough to sell on arccorp moons?

#

and would i be better off solo or with someone manning my turrets? i know it's not much but protection is protection

elfin rune
#

How high can be the profits with a C2 and legal stuff? Even with comm alerts

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

feel like A18 is making me more money rn. Also, when I go on trade tools, I see one of the mining areas as 100 max + 20/min for laranite. does this mean 20 laranite regens there every minute? If so, is it worth to wait and stock up before making a run?

vestal ravine
# elfin rune How high can be the profits with a C2 and legal stuff? Even with comm alerts

I keep records of my C2 trade profits and can score a full load if I backfill with something like Titanium. The most famous Laranite and Titanium run is Lathan to Lorville. I buy the Lara first and have gotten between 21 scu to 88. Then backfill with Titanium. When taking off set QT to Lorville in advance you can boost right away and lock on in like 6 seconds and be gone. My profits have been: 56k, 117 k, 93 k...

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

for now I'm just buying whatever i can from a facility and making a run to a18. seem to be getting 100k~ per

#

almost always it has more than 100 laranite when i come back

#

so i dunno if waiting for more laranite is worth if there is diamond or other stuff

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

so you're saying if i can get more than 100 laranite every 30 minutes i'm hitting the jackpot?

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

I just hit 142 again

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

Rn I'm on 140+ laranite and like 410 diamond or something

#

going to sell on A18

#

by the time i come back i probably will have 140 laranite here again lol

#

I guess no one is using this terminal

#

I started a big session with ROC mining.

#

Sometimes I'll use the AU server when it's 4 am their time lol.

devout raft
#

I guess you just gotta get lucky

vestal ravine

#

i feel like im having a lot more luck than i would with a slot machine

#

in atmo flight with the caterpillar takes ages though

#

i might legitimately be better off heading to PO

#

I dunno what agricium is lol, trade tools told me this was good

#

might be my initial investment is too low that's why it didn't show me that

#

Look at the list of most valuable to least valuable.

elfin rune
#

What about meds or food?

#

With alert i make 50k with a taurus in 10mins

devout raft
#

It is taking me over 30 minutes to go to a18 and back from wala.. how long would it take to qt to PO i wonder.

#

I feel like I'm much better off selling at PO

#

even with QT costs

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

From this sell I made 110k, but it's just taking too long

#

Navigating inside a18 itself is over 10 minutes. Not counting going in and out of atmo with the cat.. PO is really the better choice probably, I should test it

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

Isn't there admin in PO?

vestal ravine
#

Yes but you need a TDD terminal..

devout raft
#

AFAIK you can sell at admin

#

yeah, now that i look around you may be right, which sucks

#

30 minutes isn't bad per run i guess..

vestal ravine
devout raft
#

so, from buying from the terminal, going back, selling, coming back, and being in front of the terminal it takes me 30-35 minutes

#

for around 100-110k profits

#

is that good for trading?

vestal ravine
#

Yes because in about 9 sessions you have a million...

#

MAX is the least expensive in relationship cost of SCU/aUEC but it's strictly an entry level cargo carrier. But it also serves great as a ROC platform also

#

With just 120 SCU, it is limited

Everything about cargo and trade is getting gutted with 3.20

It's going to be a total change. Dynamic, changing, etc. Everything

So I'm a little confused, I think? I'm using SC Tools to find cargo routes, but as I understand it, a lot of people use SC Tools, and there purchases on there servers will effect the stock and prices on my server, right? So my confusion is... How the hell do I make money moving cargo if every route the tool gives me ends up being out of stock/low stock on things I need, and full of stock on the things I need to sell? I don't know enough to like, make my own route, so I'm just using SC Tools, which recommends running Astatine in various loops, but everywhere I go is low on astitine, and places I sell already have plenty. Am I missing something here?

new to trading, what would be a good product to start with? I am renting cutlass black until I can afford one

crimson grotto
#

anyone want to help me get The A2 HERCULES? (or is this the wrong chat)

placid swift
#

Then I would begin by looking at my choices in term of how much currency you have, and what return you would get from your purchase.

#

For me, I usually start small, because that's all I could afford, then then, slowly increase the money invested.

#

I find that I spend a lot of time selling the product just because I can't sell everything at once, at the best prices. So I go to different places to sell them, until they are all gone.

well that sucks you type all that out and hes/shes just gone

Yesterday I was collecting some Etam and stuff. I was waiting for the refreshes and was filling up my ship slowly. At about 30% cargo a NPC fighter apeared to attack me.

Hi guys I have a constellation Taurus and 350,000. What are some good cargo to haul around the verse specifically in Arc Corp bc that's where I'm based but I have no problem moving around. I will accept drug runs but I prefer legal cargo only because the servers I get on I am always unlucky to not be able to run drugs.

I am willing to risk all my money if it will lead to me making somewhat of a profit.

# flint gull Hi guys I have a constellation Taurus and 350,000. What are some good cargo to h...

Taurus has 168 scu? The basic cargo run involves buying a high tier trade item like Laranite, Meds, Agricium you will only get a finite supply. Then you top off with unlimited trade items like gold, diamonds and Titanium. Be careful at first until you get the hang of the routes and maybe only invest 50% of your cash supply. Eventually you will earn enough to buy full loads. Good luck.

I believe it's 176 SCU

hello!

Right now im doing runs with a rented freelancer which has 68 scu I think. Is there a better ship I should be using or should I go for the buy of the freelancer.

Depends, how much money do you have rn?

ancient estuary
#

about 432k earned from doing my route rn

jovial matrix
#

Damn

ancient estuary
#

pretty new

jovial matrix
#

I’m gonna reccomend you put trading on hold for now, and do some other gameplay loops to earn money until you can afford a better cargo ship

#

Cargo hauling doesn’t pay that well unless you have one of the top tier haulers, and with a freelancer it’s gonna take you ages to work up to a better hauler

#

Works towards either a freelancer max (2.1mil, 120SCU) or a constellation taurus (3.2mil, 176SCU)

ancient estuary
#

what loop should I do to earn my first hauler?

jovial matrix

I’d reccomend doing bunkers, bounties, or ROC mining

they are updating prices for 3.19, but it's going to take a minute

where do i go from here?

rigid thistle
#

you need to make a route

#

click on trade at the top and find what you want to trade

#

but like I said, none of the new prices have been updated yet

#

so just find a site that sells like diamond or laranite, and sell it at a TDD

fair delta
#

oh ok

rigid thistle
#

you can try this one, but the stock on gold is really low right now

fair delta
#

yeah laranite is low too is diamond low?

Is there a preferred system to do cargo / trading in for quicker access to the TDD?

Microtech has the fastest way to get to TDD

#

Park outside commons and walk right in

raven rampart
#

Does that also make it the busiest / hardest to do trade in then?

dark tendon
#

Not really

#

Also consider if you have a lot of money tied up in your cargo hold, the hangars give you some protection. Parking outside you risk ppl ramming your ship

raven rampart
#

ahh good point

#

Sorry for the nub question, if you go to a outpost or something and they dont have the stock, do you wait by the terminal or do you go to another one?

#

or is that more personal preference?

Personal preference

#

No sites will be accurate until the data is pulled from the files. That will be static info. @crimson mantle will probably do an update sometime and let us know.

#

In 3.19 PTU, CIG temporarily moved all the trading-related data out of the client. This indicates that tests are underway to move the economy system to a different back-end service.

#

Quanta might be coming in 3.20 ... (my thoughts & speculation)

crimson mantle
#

They did some limited tests in 3.18.X as well, but so far they restored the data for live.

#

It will become very challenging to get reliable and up to date data when they switch it to the backend completely.

I HOPE they offer you some API's for the love all that is good in gaming!!

From what I read there are no plans at this time.

I've seen the tricks where you swap out the prospector bags for mole bags and they persist.

If my buddy in a mole gives me his bags, and then his ship blows up, and he reclaims it... Do I get to keep the bags?

#

You retort with that yet everyone scrambles to compare it with realism. Simple aspects of market data can be shared without violating the career of data gathering, because we are talking about markets and markets should be reported

#

If the career of data gatherers was limited to how the market is doing then that is a sad career indeed

rich siren
#

no im just saying design decisions get made for the integrity of the game role your protecting as for data transfer across planets let alone entire systems we struggle to send data to mars and back in good enough time let alone transferring reliable data for api scraping.

#

Its part of the data running market for outposts in isolated planets to share economic needs and fill missions to transmit those market needs

#

it was in the ISC

jovial matrix
#

You just used the real world to try to justify something in a video game

north oyster
#

I can see where You are coming from and in some ways that's a valid point. But maybe data pulled from certain systems and not shared across the whole universe

rich siren
#

there could and i say that lightly be made to scrape API data for only the major planet hubs

#

so IE, Orison, Loreville etc

north oyster
#

That's sort of the angle I'm coming at it with

rich siren
#

Then again its not important enough to even bother with cause without the outpost data that information is redundant

north oyster
#

The next patch is going to be pretty crazy as it relates to trade and commodities

rich siren
#

eh im hesitant to say its gonna be crazy cause we haven't seen much around the cargo lift yet to see how that whole system is suppose to work in relation to the hull C

#

plus theres just not enough inventory in the game to support a hull c yet

#

its role is gonna be hella limited

#

the larger SCU containers though will be pretty lit

north oyster
#

The fact that the hull c is coming is a precursor to what they have to do to make it work

rich siren
#

for the hull C to really work we need pyro and quantum enabled

north oyster
#

SC trade tools has already shared that CIG has pulled the game data as it relates to the market, that's sort of hints that they are working on quanta

rich siren
#

oh i agree but im expecting that to take effect with 4.0

#

its just a matter of how many .20/21/22/23/24 patches till 4.0 is the focus

#

i think once we see 4.0 hitting the PTU thats when its time to get super hype

north oyster
#

They have already talked about not setting pure server meshing as the stopper to rolling out 4.0

rich siren
#

never expected it would be to be fair

#

you can always move that int a 4.1 patch etc

north oyster
#

I'm ecstatic about the opportunity to play even if it is a static setup

rich siren
#

we just gotta see how much longer till 4.0 is actually the main focus of the dev team and less so these minor .20/21 patches

#

thats when its time to get super hype

#

trading between 2 systems is the role of the hull C+D+E imo

north oyster
#

I see the hull c has an intra system also type of ship

rich siren
#

my issue with it is we just dont have a way to make good use of it yet it can only really trade out of the main hubs

#

your not gonna take it like a C2 out to daymar and stack it full of beryl

north oyster
#

That's a point to consider

rich siren
#

so while its nice something that big will be in the game what practical use to we even have for it yet?

#

im hoping cargo missions get implemented with it to make use of it

north oyster
#

It'll be fun trying to make it happen, and it could turn into a soul sucking adventure

#

Won't be the first time that has happened in the game

rich siren
#

i just see it as reclaimer 2.0

#

implemented to early with nothing to use

north oyster
#

I don't think anything could take to reclaimer title

#

never underestimate CIG

tawdry siren

#

It's called 30k protection, don't claim your ship, it's not instant It takes awhile sometimes an hour or 24 hours. If it works it should respawn with your cargo at you selected starting location. New Babbage, lorvile, orison, ect...

#

It's worked 3/3 times for me

#

Not really cargo, but I kind of want to get a new delivery vessel again. Is the cutter terrible? I’ve got a Connie / arrow / tana…I’ve got ships. I need a delivery truck for messing around while I watch tv.

#

I used to have a Titan but the weirdness of the cutter has me interested.

jovial matrix
#

The cutter is good at holding boxes, but I would prefer something like a pisces or 100i because of their speed

#

The cutter flies slow outside of quantum travel

C8r is the best ups truck

#

even has flashing lights for when you have to rush that package delivery

#

I’m not against a Pisces I just want something super fast to get in and out of with space for stuff. And she’s gotta be small.

#

Nomad could be a good option too. I’ve never had one.

zenith maple
#

I believe the C8R is for sale now for like 450k?

hardy trail
#

I love it, just didn't feel like paying real money for it

real gull
#

Yeah I’m not doing real money.

hardy trail
#

C8r low-key the perfect non combat ship

#

No scu storage tho

real gull
#

Last I knew you couldn’t buy a c8r in game.

#

I don’t need scu I’ve got my andro for that usage. If I ever want to run cargo again. It’s frustrating not having stock.

hardy trail
#

As of latest patch you can

real gull
#

Ohhh

#

Well shit then that might be the thing then.

hardy trail
#

Yeah I feel you

real gull
#

I really enjoyed my cutty red that I used to have. Flashy lights and never having to eat or drink.

hardy trail
#

Been thinking of gettin the cutty red, but c8r so doesn't feel necessary.

#

Been going through different cargo ships. Got a Connie but I don't like elevator bays

real gull
#

Cutty red is nice but anything that size is just too much for UPS truck usage. Plus I’ve had the ship sit weird and been unable to get back inside.

#

I like my andromeda but I don’t run cargo with it. Someday I’ll get a C2. After I stop spending my in-game money constantly.

hardy trail
#

C8s move so well it actually took some getting used to

#

I just upgraded the Taurus to the Aquila. If I can't get the Phoenix, I'm satisfied with the Aquila. Idk what it is. But I love it more than the others

real gull
#

I like the idea of the phoenix but if I do more bounties the andromeda is the one to keep. Plus it’s my pledge ship. I’m not going to change my pledge to anything less powerful.

#

I actually melted my Corsair for it. I just didn’t like flying that thing.

hardy trail
#

I've never cared for missiles, and I'm pretty solo. So andro didn't mesh well with me

#

If I get the Phoenix tho... smh I love that interior more than I thought, and they're all the same except for missiles and a turret change

#

The cargo space is the same. But I didn't need the 172 of thr taurus. I JUST started serious haulin

real gull
#

The only thing with missiles is if you launch four at once instead of one at a time they’re way more effective.

# tawdry siren you cant - it happen 8 times today for me - twice it was way over 0,5 mil of car...

Yeah, as I recall, the way the 30k protection used to work in 3.17 was that after the 30k you would wait like 15 minutes then get back in the game. At that point you'd basically be able to put the ship with the cargo in any bay in the system WITHOUT having to claim it. I've not seen it work correctly in 3.18.x. Guess it's now one of those features which comes and goes like working elevators.

how do i check whats in my ships inv

spare cloud
#

I feel like the issue with cargo is that we own the goods we transport. Thinking this after seeing someone complain he couldn't fill his cat with laranite.

#

What about making cargo haul a career path with missions like the rest

#

Like deliveries, but big

#

Tier 1, transport 32 SCU of meds, laranite or corn from lyria to arc l1, for 15 aUEC

#

Higher tiers would require more capable ships, just like bounty hunter Higher tiers now do with 3.19

#

Have fun doing VHRTs with an arrow like we did before. Enjoy the reclaimers

#

Tier 4 transport 170 SCU, 75k aUEC Tier 5, 300-450 SCU and 125k aUEC or smtg like this

#

So you don't own what you transport but you are responsible of it and have to pay if you fail the mission, either because you got boarded/destroyed or because you chose to make big money on one shot and sell your whole cargo to GH despite not owning it. You would have CS for doing so

#

I really like what my brain is making up as I keep writing

dense elm
#

HELLO! what are the best trade routes?

spare cloud
#

This would also make the whole economy system better implemented and logical. Real life world we don't carry only what's valuable but literally everything. In the current state of the things, ppl only carry laranite and a few other things and this doesn't make sense for the world we're in

#

Also this would get me into cargo hauling. I dont really like it how it is now

spare cloud
#

Additional ideas,
Tier 5 cargo haul could be between systems. Transport 500SCU from stanton to pyro, 500k aUEC.
Huge cargo haulers like hull e could do multiple contracts at once since they can transport much more than this

because i´ve done a few delivery missions. And they get really tedious. Even more the ones that make you do many stops

I went back to the terminal where I'd completed the load and it said the ship was full, and it did take my money, so I assumed it was a visual glitch. When I got to the selling point, however,, I only had 144 scu. The fucking game basically just stole around 550 scu from me. Any way to get that back?

If it's past the rental time and you store a rental, it and everything on it is gone.

If it's past the rental and you want to keep the cargo, you must offload the cargo from the ship on to another ship somewhere the ship won't get stored or impounded while you're doing it.

Stopped after the second incident, not worth the risk. Off topic but found the Wanted By personal missions were bugged and about 60 NPCs spawn on the ground where the target is, easy 500 creds per NPC all from the comfort of your pilot seat.

Don't think so, I'd rather not learn that there was a way now as the ships been claimed since so definitely all gone. Just gotta accept the loss and grind the cash back in other safe ways for now

when looking at the cargo of a ship, how can you tell the contents of an individual crate?

Does anyone know if there's a way to identify what kind of cargo you pick up when, say, you're salvaging a ship and you grab the cargo in the cargo hold? I wanna know if its possible to tell at a glance what I'm picking up

wary ruin
#

Is purchasable cargo shared across the entire system? So like there is only one stock of Laranite or does each location have its own amount of cargo you can buy

vestal ravine
#

Not per location but server/regions wide not sure what that really means. If high value and thus limited supply buy the first amount wait 10 minutes buy more high value then backfill any remainder and head to the TDD.

I went to a savlage run and got 3 boxes out of the back of a cutlass, we sold the savlage boxes at a terminal but idk where to sell the boxes I got out of the cutlass vehicle. Where do I go? Is it a cargo box ?

@surreal compass from what I have gathered, green boxes are the best. All silver is usually ore, brown is scrap. White and blue are a range of items. This isn't firsthand knowledge but what I've seen from different vids

I've been trying to live on my M2, without docking at a station to log out. Scavenging what i find from bunkers, mining facilities etc. I keep a C8R, Fury, Centurion and Cyclone in my M2. Lets just say I've spent more time loading the M2 than I have actually playing because of the stupid 30k crashes and having to redo all that process. Before ILW, I was doing it in the A2 with no problems. Soon as ILW started, these servers went to shit.

#

there is a terminal down in the refiniery floor for ores

Ive been to refineries. At the ore sales terminals. They dind't even register my vehicle

jaunty hearth
#

you can either refine them for more profit later on (2.5x more roughly) or sell them directly

spark star
#

I've heared ingame ores are bugged atm

jaunty hearth
#

you need to store it sometimes

#

no we are happily mining for days

#

have 11 refinery work orders running atm

spark star
#

No no normal mining works. But these are the scu boxes from salvage missions

#

Some ships have some cargo in them

jaunty hearth

ahh i see

Those seem to be bugged out atm i think

i guiess

#

Ive salvaged a mole but the mining bags were functional. Placed them on my mole and could refine them just fine. The only problem i got are the scu boxes of cargo you pickup during salvage

#

any idea what to do if i put refined material on a ship but it isn't showing in tdd?

jaunty hearth
#

storing the ship

#

and relogging

#

in that order

#

i tried this and nothing. I can see the boxes on the ship but it just ignores it

#

try a different shard

and post your tdd screen

here is the cargo

#

can't pull it off at all tho @jaunty hearth

#

i'm thinking i need to ditch it

jaunty hearth
#

is there a table showing the colors of cargo containers and possible contents? aka what is in green containers vs brown or white or gray

vestal ravine
jaunty hearth
#

is there a general trend?

#

like green= good?

#

high value illicit cargo i,e,

crimson oak
#

Is there any way to tell the contents of a commodity container? Like for example is Ore a particular colour? are drugs usually a particular colour? etc

#

I think green might be drugs, as there was a lot of ore in this ship but only a couple of drugs, when I scanned it. Then when i went to the cargo bay of the ship itself, most of the containers were white, presumably ore? and there was a couple of dark green/brown, presumably drugs?

#

yeah dark green/brown definitely more valuable

i only have around 112k because i asked for help on gaining money after losing a shit ton of it from a 30k

spare cloud
plush dove
#

yes but i would like to do cargo related stuff with the caterpillar again or atleast a C2 or something

spare cloud
#

C2 has the most cargo space

plush dove
#

yes i know but isnt it more expensive than caterpillar?

#

unless there is a quick way of earning money other than mining which i wont do

spare cloud
#

Also C2 is very agile for its size. It feels good
IMO you only go cat if you're a drake lover. It's even more complicated to reach the pilot seat in cat 💀

plush dove
#

i like the cat but ill probably go for C2 and buy cat later

#

but i have the andro rented aswell as the carrack should i ask for help for 2 man teams or ?

Thinking of starting Star Citizen? use referral code STAR-VHQJ-MGVL to get an extra 5000 credits in game :)

3.18 Brings with it an update to a location near and dear to our hearts - Jumptown. With a new Outpost layout massively expanded in size and featuring both two entrances AND two drug dispensers! There wil lbe some epic moments ahead when ...

The Jumptown site has some others at Paradise Cove and Raven's Roost. There is some sort of vice lab maintenance mission that can lead you there.

# woven moss What kind of container is this

Spawned my ship lastnight and loads of these crates spawned in along with a C2 nose and part of a wing, someone had a bad day! Shame you cant use the tractor beam in a hangar now, a couple of the boxes actually ended up in my ship but 30K came before I had chance to check their contents

So I am thinking of starting playing SC and very interested in the shipping and salvage aspect. aka Space Truckers Misc Inc 🙂 Any suggestions for good starting ships for going down this road. or other resources about this part of the game would be greatly appreciated as well

There's also rumors that 3.20 is going to include some potential cargo updates with a very massive cargo ship coming out, but rumors and timelines in SC are never to be trusted.

What is 30k protection?

vestal ravine
# west juniper Salvage sounds fun as well

30 k takes a snapshot of your current on person loadout and things like ship cargo. The ship will be at your home planet. Go there if you have cargo valuable to you. Do not claim the ship if cargo. Wait till the 3.19.1 patch for this to be patched up.

Ahh ok

tempted to try drug running in the reclaimer, what do yall recommend?

O_o id try a much smaller ship for drug running

and i'd maybe wait for a later patch if/when servers are more stable, there's still a lot of 30k's right now, although 30k protection seems to be back again so far.

crimson oak
#

usually it will save your ship and you'll respawn at the last station you docked at the next time you log back in

#

so you wont have to reclaim the ship, you can retrieve it will any cargo intact

#

usually..

#

people recommend waiting 10-15mins between logging back in after a 30k as well
