You need to be able to carry 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!!
More reason to set up between Hurston and aberdeen with a mantis
Roc miners AND prospectors
yes
so should i melt my cutty for vulture
Do you have an other ship ?
Yeah, just in case you had only one ship. I wouldn't melt my cutty to a vulture if it was my only ship
ok
Anyway, whether you upgrade your cutty in vulture or not is all personal choices and I'm tired. Leaving this to others or yourself.
o7
k i had a long day at work so i hear you
Should I get the Prospector or Vulture?
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
How high can be the profits with a C2 and legal stuff? Even with comm alerts
For one thing you cannot sell normal trade goods on the various moons. Sell all at the TDD terminals in the major cities. If you are good at fleeing then you don't need a turret gunner unless they are real cheap to employ.
yeah i know, i'm not sure if i am better off going to PO or A18 though
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?
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...
You can always try sitting and waiting. But one time I flew out into space, bedlogged to a new region, came back, the Laranite was still at zero.
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
That's great if you can get 100 LARA!! My one time I cracked 100K I scored 88 LARA. Another crazy thing I have done is just buy the LARA, go back to port and wait some 5-6 hours then go back for just LARA, etc. I can do this as I have a 2nd account. I filled an A2 with Vice in this fashion. Vice is the real money.
so you're saying if i can get more than 100 laranite every 30 minutes i'm hitting the jackpot?
The LARA determines a bigger payout than plain Titanium.
I just hit 142 again
Surely you are blessed!!
I just buy laranite and fill it up with diamond
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.
I guess you just gotta get lucky
It's like a slot machine at Las Vegas.
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 bet you can't do that with Agricium...
I dunno what agricium is lol, trade tools told me this was good
AGRI has like the top paying values.
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.
Thank you sir
What about meds or food?
With alert i make 50k with a taurus in 10mins
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
I am going to try that alert prospect with the Med Supplies. Sounds interesting.
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
You mean Orison? Don't think you can sell at Port Olisar...Or let us know...
Isn't there admin in PO?
Yes but you need a TDD terminal..
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..
That is good for sure considering how long everything takes in this game lol
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?
Yes because in about 9 sessions you have a million...
i really love the caterpillar but maybe instead of doing it in style i should get a c2 lol
caterpillar sucks in atmo
Damn had a 2 PC 30 k...
You can test fly mine. I found a good way to land it seems way smoother and precise that the other way I was using. Set a custom camera view looking straight down at ship. Landing this beast seems a lot easier now.
eh, i will be fine landing, i just do not like the aesthetic
very much a drake enjoyer
If invictus brings C2 to the pledge, highly possible ill buy it
Cause nothing " new " for me is coming
Trying to pull my quant out of the refinery, and I see a spinning "Processing your request" that wont go away
I select my freelancer but cant transfer.
Am I missing something here?
Anyone know why I'm unable to pull any of my orders out of the refinery station. I've tried to relog several times
I have been having the same issue since early morning around eight hours or so have server jumped a cpl times but it think the systems backed up allot of the terminals are not even functioning either
Do you get payed any less for selling cargo not on a grid vs cargo on a grid?
no afaik
We're getting a lot of people in #helpdesk complaining about work orders not being collectible - is that just servers on fire again or what's up with that? Anyone know?
I would say that it's probably the same thing we're having with shop screens, where screen won't load probably because it can't load storage of ships stored in the location.
Nvm, if they can click collect order then it means it loaded, even if it doesn't work.
Might be the same problem anyway but doesn't look like it
Selling RMC has been impossible. AREA 18 isnt buying it. Neither was New Babbage
where else can i get rid of 18 SCU
@shell sorrel Orison, Lorville CBD, Grim Hex Admin, Salvage yards
do we know which place would be the best to sell gold in 3.19 ?
They are offering a premium markup if you take it say from a MT moon to ArcCorp. They don't want us doing the cheesie routes from Lathan to Hurston for instance. Details later on...
where can you buy gold in 3.19 ive been too 3 differnt places and you cant buy from them any more hurL1, daymar and arcL 2
!fit
they still havent mentioned a wipe so this might be possible
For 3.19 Gold it might have a new attractive buy sell aspect but sales were limited to 2-3 scu...
ew
Today at 2:30 pm cst at Nbis tdd sales were working okay...
Is there any gameplay for Cargo running that would benefit from having another player with you? (Aside from like just protection as that job could be extremely boring.) Has anyone had experience in doing it with a buddy or something and having a positive experience from it?
eventually you will need to manually load boxes into ships, which ofc is faster with 2 people
wanna start cargo what would be a good ship to get to start with?
freelancer max
Where can I seel scrap, I went to horstan got scrap then went to go sell it at the reframation depot at Lorville but the console didn't appear. Where can I get rid of it so I get stuff that the traders want?
I need to upgrade my caterpillar what should I get
You mean better ship or loadout?
Cash or auec, and how much of it?
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
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?
Yes
Well the upgrade its the C2
And loadout id max shields and qd for travel
But im no expert i dont have it
If you can learn the loop, you just have to figure out the right time to jump in
It’s to much
Then you have the second biggest ship
Good engine and shields and you should be fine
As long as you only want to cargo
You don’t even need to upgrade the QT drive on the caterpillar, it’s really good as is
would this be the place to ask about tips on selling weapons in-game?
alr cheers
nah I dont think thats the right place, but anyway I'll just ask here.
can anyone explain how you go about selling things (weapons, armour ect) in game and/or anything I should know?
#ground-combat-and-medical would be more appropriate
We just had a discussion about this.
I just scored 99 scu of Laranite and the rest Titanium at Lathan. Timing is everything.
new to trading, what would be a good product to start with? I am renting cutlass black until I can afford one
anyone want to help me get The A2 HERCULES? (or is this the wrong chat)
@dusty oak , it's a difficult question, but I would start by going to this page: https://uexcorp.space/price_search
Mining Calculator, Trade, Prices, Risks, Profitability, Mass to SCU Converter, Ships List, SCU, Prices and more
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.
nah I'm still here lol
if you're looking to team up with people to make some coin, check out #looking-for-session
yeah i asked in the star citizen chat and got yelled at so i got it but thx
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.
Is this common and always to expect at about 30% or was it just coincidence?
Coincidence of an AI bounty spawning above you
Ok, I had a similar situation before so I thought it is scripted
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.
Medical supplies from research centers to farms, capitals. With that cash.
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
Yeah it is
Is anyone else having problems in commodity terminals getting their ships inventory grid to load? Can't buy or sell anything since early this morning.
I've not been able to get any of the terminals to load tonight, guessing the servers are hurting more than normal tonight 😂
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?
about 432k earned from doing my route rn
Damn
pretty new
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)
what loop should I do to earn my first hauler?
I’d reccomend doing bunkers, bounties, or ROC mining
which one would be fastest/most profitable with my budget?
What other ships do you have rn?
The cutter but I have enough store credit to get the titan
Bunkers then
(bought the titan pledge) traded for cutter
Sorry if wrong channel. I found like 10 scu of quant and I can't sell it at loreville and I can't refine it. Its in my cutty, am I doing something wrong?
You " found " it in someones cargo bay? 
I found it outside a cave actually, next to a destroyed andromeda. Don't think I'm ballsy enough for steal yet. Do you think it counts as stolen so I can't sell it?
Ive never had stolen cargo, so i couldnt tell
But its a possibility
Plenty of people here have exp with stolen cargo, some1 will help you
It probably counts as stolen yes. Try to sell it at Grim Hex, Brios breaker yard or No questions asked terminals
I'm on my way to CRU L5 so I'll find out. 😄
It's survived through 4 30ks so far, so we'll see.
Yeah, if it’s outside a cave, most likely it’s from a player wreck, so the cargo will be flagged as stolen, so no questions asked terminal will be the answer
Do stolen minerals have to be sold at grim
Few times now I've taken diamonds and laranite I've stolen and brios wont take it
@toxic thicket yeah thats stolen cargo technically
auce and idk price somyhing cost effective to make auec and get better ships
Purely for cargo, Hull A RAFT for cargo starter under 2m, FreeMax for more serious hauling, and finally big mama C2
5th best actually
Wouldn't recommend hull a to anyone if bought with uec
400k more gets you a much more capable ship and 2 more scu
Base freelancer
Actually I forgot about the RAFT, better than Lancer or Hull for cheapo hauling
Oh yeah 1.8 for 96
I still wouldn't recommend hull a though to anyone when bought in game. 400k more nets you +2 space and the ability to do just about everything in the game
thanks
It is adorable tho 
U wot
M/s
Yes it is a turtle
well ill become the rare one
gets a mate to protec and give him prof
Is ravens roost only active during jumptown events?
It doesnt spit drugs out of the dispensers but all 3 locations still have working trading terminals
ahhh thank you!
wheres the raft sold?
Lorville iirc
alr
I love my C2, and soon 3.19, I'll love gooooold
i'm still skeptical those commodity values make it to live untouched, but i'm happy to be wrong
highly doubt they last second switch it
You won't be when you see distribution
Not that easy to just snag some pure rock and fill.
Beryl tho
Where do i buy coponents to my taurus? and which shouldi buy?
use erkul
erkul will tell you the locations
but the best components for constellation are xl1 drive and fr86 shield
thanks
dont bother tho
3.19 is supposed to drop within a few hours
and things you do rn arent going to be saved
~7hrs ago they saved the database and made it into a backup essentially, theyre going to load that backup onto 3.19
i see then ill just explore some
3.19 live!!!
So what all is different about mining in 3.19
Read the notes
whats the quick rundown of best way/things to trade in 3.19
Dang, supply is that bad?
patch just launched dude, not sure anyone has that info yet
figured the people who played the PTU could have an idea
getting ignored in every chat so far, is it still not possible to transport a groups cargo
i got a group of friends who all do salvage on a reclaimer. we wanted to streamline the process by having a friend with a caterpillar take the crates planetside while the reclaimer could just move onto the next location
You’ve been able to do that since 3.18
Mm yeah, I don’t know if that’s been fixed in 3.19
hasnt. only thing they said they changed regarding this situation is when accepting a salvage contract specifically, people in the party should be allowed to sell
every other situation its regarded as stolen and based on what hes saying it seems even what they said they changed, isnt working
i would assume we have to ahve the mission accepted before doing scraping. or does it have to be the ship the mission wants us to scrap
trade terminal at Outpost 54 isnt recognizing my Avenger titan inventory as being populated
How's trading this patch, more profitable?
They balanced and added more ores and stuff
AHH nice, how's the stock though? Imagine it's through the floor currently
think maybe they overbuffd
getting almost 100k from a 200k haul w/o maxed cargo lol
we'll see how stock goes tho ig
Oh wow, time to get rich quick 😂
Has Drugs cargo changed at all?
what are you selling? i picked up a freelancer max load full of beryl, gold, and a little laranite from 3 different locations, sold it at a tdd, 20k profit 😭
anyone find out where can we sell uncut slam amd molo ?
is there anything written on how this trading over distances works?
I got a buddy who claims beryl was a good haul when bough in MT and sold in hurston, but I just did Mt to Crusader with med supplies and got didly.
https://youtu.be/xpHNh25exoY I saw this in my recommended earlier. No idea if it made it fully to live.

Thanks. It sorta helped. I do miss people writing things down though
agree, but youtube seems to be the thing most people do these days
the wiki team in here is doing great work, but it takes a bit and quick changes can be hard to keep track of
is there a way I can buy the TS2 and transfer it in another ship, so I dont have to fly the reclaimer in atmo?
You can purchase ts2s in a different ship then transport it back to where your reclaimer is
Can also go cru l5 unless they don't have a capital hangar
"what" matters less then the availability (minerals are preferred though since those got the price increase) + distance of where ur selling it to
the stock was full where I bought, then flew to furthest place that had no stock
and made that much. Would probably be a little less normally
how do you know where doesn't have stock?
stocks are incredibly low
do they regen slower now?
like gold had less than 1 SCU stock at all of the outposts I hit
It’s a brand new patch, all the traders are out
don't do gold, ur almost never going to get a good amt of it. since its most profitable + stock refreshes slowly
beryl, quartz, maybe tit are decent
is laranite still worth as much as in 3.18.2 ? I am looking at an asteroid of it right now..
Still mine it yeah
anyone know a good website for getting cargo routes im trying to find one but all the ones i have found havent been that great other tahn one
I think they changed the data that used to be pulled and it's all backend now
so the sites that used to be good are out of date currently
Mining Calculator, Trade, Prices, Risks, Profitability, Mass to SCU Converter, Ships List, SCU, Prices and more
but this is the one I use
i looked at this one cant figure out how to get it to work
they are updating prices for 3.19, but it's going to take a minute
where do i go from here?
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
oh ok
yeah laranite is low too is diamond low?
ah
this look good?
this was a good one to use, but again the data is out of date
yeah i was using that one before
sure try it, but I'm 90% sure the numbers in game will be different
right now it's trial and error, just get a notepad handy 🙂
that profit is from the old buy value and the new sale value
so it's way off
oh ok sad 😦
emmm is there anywhere else u can find beryl in microtech other than SMO 22?
yeah in rocks 🙂
i guess ill have to try it and find out thanks
._.
it's going to be a few days or weeks before sites are updated to make it easier to find routes
best bet is to just get out there and find your own
ok tysm
Is it still best money to trade drugs? (Disregarding waits)
no... never
unless ur willing to wait and ur in a safe, low man server
welp dimoand is out of stock great : )
I mean, I sat in a combat zone earlier for half hour on a full pop server and didn't get a single ping
Drugs hasn't given me any issues but wondering if there's anything more casual
anyone got a good route for hurston to microtech?
drugs are still the best money when you accept the risk of the buy and sell points not being armistice like legal goods
yes
SM-10, Rayari kaltag, SMCa-8,
so, any secret routes for good profit with C2 now?
sounds like theyre being kept secret
thx :D
im also looking for one now, trying to find a good route start from hurston and end at microtech xd
there some new drugs in the game. does anyone know where to sell them?
anyone know how to save custom settings for the game after a update? im always having to re-bind keys and what not to what i use
so is cargo price changed depending on distance?
I think it may just be that some commodities are not offered near some planets which makes that product worth a good percent more than if you sold it locally.
the data is updated around yesterday
but generally uex is more accurate even before that imo
Last night I was looking at uex. It said buy Argiuculture for 100 and sell for 2400.
But I just could sell it for 120… that’s pretty accurate
Ive been using SC trade tools and thats also updated to 3.19 however the price of drugs is very inaccurate
I also saw trade tools was updated, great news!
I see a CIG still hasn't fixed package deliveries in 3.19 still cannot put them in a covalex drop off
It takes so many damn times to put the damn box in there before it finally stays in there
There’s a drop down menu at the bottom of your screen when you’re looking at your keybinds, there you can save a custom set and name it
Is there a preferred system to do cargo / trading in for quicker access to the TDD?
or are they all just slogs to get too?
Does that also make it the busiest / hardest to do trade in then?
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
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
does "sc-trade-tools" make sense right now ? it claims it's up to date with 3.19 but the shortest routes still seem to be the preferred ones
is SC-Trade-Tools lying to me or are Fireworks not sold at ARC-L4
Checking in on the cargo/trade situation...Can't play until the 31st.
I’d say go to a different outpost. Waiting at an outpost makes it easier for pirates to find your ship, and if they do find you, the longer you wait the more time they have to set up. Piracy isn’t really that common, but it does happen, so this helps reduce the risk of it
I just bought a whole c2 of what sc-trade-tools told me and sold it without a profit..
150k loss
be careful about what that page tells you
Thar page also depends on people updating it with their own cargo run data.
!Port Olisar's commodities are inaccurate. Everything else should be reliable!
is stated there
Damn, i did want to try but now im scared
Might be worth doing some fast flights in a small ship with an Atlas and writing down prices on things you want to trade, then go grab hauler and hit the places you find to be worth it.
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.
I just found a reddit threat that SC Trade Tools posted
https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/13kkts6/sc_trade_tools_update_announcements/
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)
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.
If only we had Guild Wars 2 level of APIs! 😅
Question. Maybe this might be more mining but it is about Cargo...
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?
they wont most likely because data trading is a big part of the economy later on once it gets added so having people scrape API for market data would defeat the purpose of market data trading from data runners.
Maybe not everything but some data but we can buy market streams in today's world
anybody know were I can sell this stuff?
thats your first mistake using the real world to justify anything in a video game. its all part of the gameplay loop they want to accomplish with teh data running role so its counter intuitive to that role to give api scraping for market data when its a key feature of that data market.
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
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
You just used the real world to try to justify something in a video game
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
there could and i say that lightly be made to scrape API data for only the major planet hubs
so IE, Orison, Loreville etc
That's sort of the angle I'm coming at it with
Then again its not important enough to even bother with cause without the outpost data that information is redundant
The next patch is going to be pretty crazy as it relates to trade and commodities
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
The fact that the hull c is coming is a precursor to what they have to do to make it work
for the hull C to really work we need pyro and quantum enabled
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
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
They have already talked about not setting pure server meshing as the stopper to rolling out 4.0
I'm ecstatic about the opportunity to play even if it is a static setup
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
I see the hull c has an intra system also type of ship
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
That's a point to consider
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
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
I don't think anything could take to reclaimer title
never underestimate CIG
Tru dat
what mining place in hurston has a big stock of beryl
yea i got some of that stuff i cant find where to sell either
i cannot be kept from my prize
you cant - it happen 8 times today for me - twice it was way over 0,5 mil of cargo. Never before i used so many "warm words" in to all responsible for this game, and adding extra time to waiting for ship respawn. Hmmmm. GOLD 🙂
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.
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
But can I buy one of those in-game?
Got the freelancer max with the intention of trading it up, but been flying it and now I just wanna keep it lol
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.
Against the nomad?
Nomad could be a good option too. I’ve never had one.
I believe the C8R is for sale now for like 450k?
I love it, just didn't feel like paying real money for it
Yeah I’m not doing real money.
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.
As of latest patch you can
Yeah I feel you
I really enjoyed my cutty red that I used to have. Flashy lights and never having to eat or drink.
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
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.
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
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.
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
The only thing with missiles is if you launch four at once instead of one at a time they’re way more effective.
!fits
Huh, no reclaimer.
But I'm pretty sure you can get a Cyclone on the lift.
corsair trading route? just trying to find a way to get the cat or c2
do you have to do salvage missions to unlock better salvage missions?
Yes just one or 2 though
good arc trading routes?
i only have a corsair and 100k but im trying to get to something like the catty
did anyone find the best trade routes for 3.19 yet?
you'll make so much more doing bounties
how much we talking
"You'll make so much more doing X" definitely havent heard that one a million times <_<
where should i sell diamonds to at arccorp
agricium any good?
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.
Corsair PVE ? Over 1 million an hour
TDD and any admin iirc
Havent done trading in a while ,any good suggestions to start with?
Currently flying a Cutlass black (used to do alot of gem mining)
Sc trade tools keeps suggesting drug running
Don't trade. 3.19 is having a lot of 30k and 30k protection doesn't work anymore
Other than that, anything with less than 120 SCU capacity is bad for lawful cargo. Cutlass black good drug runner
Yeah, it does not work in this update, there is even thread about it on council site. After such loss each time i took my fighter and went to place of 30k to check if ship survived, but i had no luck 😦
I've ended previous day by buying C2 and with 140k uec leftover. Whole day of gaming give me profit of 40k (inc. dozen or more boarding missions and couple of salvage runs) 🙂 (I've started day with +/- 5 mil)
Whole experience give me such a good wibe that i will be back after Invictus week (check the poem guys - it is worth it).
is the reclaimer cargo elevator fixed? next question, anyone know the best trade route at the moment for the fastest cash
nevermind, i just read an answer to the trading question that was posted recently. now to find out about that elevator, lol
guys what happens if i land in a hangar with a container in the back of my ship, what will happen to the container inside the ship if i store it and then retrieve it?
it should stay in your ship
ohh thats cool, thank you man
anyone know where to sell obscure vice commodities like mala or zip?
ive tried the breaker/salvage yards
no questions asked terminal
and drug labs
and gh
pls help im kinda desperate
Ill stick to that then and back to Mining till i got a decent cargo ship
Bad news
No place to sell it rn. A guy keeps posting issue council on it and smoothbrains keep merging it
Other than salvage yards and crul5 I have no other ideas
is the caterpillar the best cargo hauling ship?
C2
gotcha
hows trading in 3.19?
Better profit BUT with all those 30k around, dangerous indeed
Servers are showing degraded operations still in the PU
https://status.robertsspaceindustries.com/incidents/e6826626
thanks for the answers! ill hold off till invictus ends
Hoping this year's patch to host ILW wont' be the dumpster fire the past few have been
Does anyone know what "Thrust" is and where to sell it? This commodity doesnt show up in SC trade tools or the wiki
that may be the contraband associated with missions. Like Jumptown, etc
There's a batch of them that don't sell anywhere right now
The IC report keeps getting batched in by people dismissing a separate issue
That might be it. Ive found some Zip, Dopple, Mala and Thrust. None of them show up on SC trade tools. Cant sell them at any of the expected locations
Yeah people have tried CRUL5, Salvage yards, no dice
what is the respawn time of laranite
seems like its always out of stock and takes 10+ min for even a few to become available.
depends on the facility producing. check the trade tool
yeah it says +20 min on wala and ariel, but its been 10 min and only 30 appeare
stock is shared over all servers. Click faster.
you're fighting with God only knows how many traders that might be at that station across all servers. First one to click buy when it pops up gets it. Thus, click faster.
Or pick a different commodity/station.
commodity stock is shared across region not global
wait so if Wala is +20/min, Ariel is +13/min and the others are +1/min how does that work?
also, you dont have to be exceedingly fast when waiting for a restock, theres like a grace period after a restock where even if theoretically somoene on a diff server bought up the restock, you still can too for a few minutes
just visit multiple places dont just sit at one unless youre tabbed doing other things
not worth to camp a single place
What ships can carry loads of personal inventory stuff
figure out a route you like
yeah its too late now, sunk cost fallacy
nothing beats the Hercules series currently
Okay thank you
is there special invictus cargo?
Yeah, you can find it in other player’s ships
Only sellable at NQA terminals
120 month A2 upgrade
If I buy a ship with in game money do I keep the ship if it’s destroyed and just reclaim it any time like a pledge purchased ship?
Yeah
has 30k protection worked for anyone
anyone know a very profitable trade route at the moment?
best place to sell stims?
I'm trying to sell some goods at a trade terminal but it's not letting me. The stuff is in the unsellable section despite the place being low supply.
Looks like my trade routes are out of date.
Fireworks, I think?
where can i buy/sell them?
how long does one have to wait for the trade terminal to refresh their supply?
I think it’s somewhere from 5-10 minutes
Did you actually buy or find them? From what I know there is no market for them. It's all a mistake.
I was planning on getting the msr to mess around with, light cargo and whatnot... but I have enough credits, thinking of the c2 instead. It's just so much ship
Especially solo
Is cargo hauling actually profitable right now? Only hearing about salvage and mining with the changes
it is but you'll make money doing hauling, then a single 30k will wipe out everything you made or even put you at a deficit depending on when it happens
I lost 400k the other day because 30k lol
It's been "safer" to do smaller, quicker hauls
Figure out why you couldn't sell? Ran into same thing myself
I was using sctools but it kept sending me to places that wouldn't buy. You can check the list now at terminals and they'll tell you what they buy.
I'm a trading novice so there's always the chance it was me.
So I'm guessing commodity price alerts in game are currently bugged out to then
Zip, Thrust, Freeze, etc.
All that stuff.
Found all of them.
Couldn’t sell any of it.
I don’t understand why it’s even in the game if the .xml file isn’t updated so we can sell it. lmao
I'm just trying to sell a load of party favors lol
The "Party" ended 3 patches ago.
I've been using my C2 for trade and vehicles and will never never CCU this beast of a ship. In fact I want to add the A2 to the fleet. Good luck.
I do have a CCU chain from my LTI C2 to the BMM, but I might back fill that with other ships because I do love my C2
I do hope the Liberator isn't long coming, that's a more ideal carrier than the C2, imo
yeah I lost 1.3m when the servers went down a couple days ago
I still haven't claimed it, holding out hope that it will just one day appear at Orison
cant figure out where to sell weeval eggs and osoian hides please help 😦
Try one of the Admin Terminals...let us know what happens.
lol whats an admin terminal. sry im pretty new
ah i see. thank you. i tried selling at a tdd and they didnt want it 😦 not sure what to do. i guess dump it?
Think so, iirc they're worth basically nothing anyway
what sells the most?
how do i check whats in my ships inv
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
HELLO! what are the best trade routes?
Or to pay to have the mission, like the new salvage contracts, and maybe still have fines and/or CS if you chose to sell it for yourself
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
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
Unlike contracts that would be paying a defined amount for every run, GH and other black market things would buy your cargo for variable prices depending on what it is and what it needs. So restock system would only be needed for illegal stuff and much easier to manage
? why would an arrow not be able to handle vhrt?
also i like the idea but we already know these things are coming in some form
Oh it can, but since 3.19 you can have 1 or even 2 reclaimers spawn as VHRTs. It takes a lot of time with light fighters
Yup, reclaimer can even spawn on HRTs

ive never had an hrt spawn a claimer and thats where im at
so what the fuck is an ert it sounds like vh is harder now
is it still just an hh
ert still HH
damn so a tali really becomes necessary at vh now and not just ert
Reclaimer is rly easy, it's just very very time consuming
man i like doing occasional bounties in my sabre im not gonna fight a reclaimer in that thing
Sabre is kinda ok, more firepower than Arrow and Gladius
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/363407969368408064/1081917767533477989/image.png this was during 3.17 it was my first time ever doing an ert
lmao
took forever
and almost died
not doing reclaimers in it
Reclaimer easier than HH, you don't have to avoid their shots since you can just stay behind at all times, it's so slow.
But this isn't the place for it. Take this to #flight-combat-racing if you want to
i wont 
i asked it in the main chanel but i guess over here is better. What is the point of cargo missions. Of the short time that ive played, ive seen that cargo missions take way more time than plain trading and trading just gives more money. I guess it depends on many things and i could be wrong, but thats why im asking
Are you talking about deliveries ? Cargo missions like I described above aren't a thing.
yeah, deliveries
Deliveries are just terribly paid for the time it takes. Always has been
so ... no point in doing them ?
It's a good career to get used with many aspects of the game, both flight and FPS
i mean, trading is even more profitable now with invicus free bigs ships i guess
So it's great to learn and get used to the game. Other than that no
because i´ve done a few delivery missions. And they get really tedious. Even more the ones that make you do many stops
so trading. How do i get into it? i know from other games like elite that it is basically hop between places that sell low and buy high. Is there any good pages to track good routes, prices, etc ?
where do you sell party favours?
SC Trade Tools and uexcorp
That's the neat part!
Foun out it’s the admin terminal at Area 18
Did they get rid if 30k protection? I was in my prospector and a 30k happened and my ship was unknown on the planet when I logged back in.
Not on purpose but yes, 30k protection doesn't work in 3.19
Well that sucks. So mining and having the ship you kitted out with items are now in danger of 30k's and they up the timer of claiming your ships. Lol you gotta love it.
Anyone fancy coming along for some cargo, me and the gf are trying to learn best cargo routes etc so any help would be greatly appreciated
If you have not, asking in #looking-for-session might give results
yeahhh no one really interested in helping new players i guess me and the gf will have to just figure it out xD
you also have !guide
Anyone know where I can find Audio-Visual Equipment at New Babbage?
believe its at MT planetary service.
Yep, found it 😉 Thanks
Do you know if I just sell it at the TDD in Lorville or do I need to go somewhere special with it?
if you punch in your info in !tradetools
One-stop-shop for everything trade related in Star Citizen: best trade routes, best mining spots, etc.
it should let you plan out where to go
is the Freelancer Max the best cargo ship in that 2 milli ish range?
Can someone help me here?
I tried selling this at 4 different stations already, and everywhere it's no demand and a lock symbol
Yesterday I was able to sell this just fine and I don't understand what's going on
Are you at the TDD?
I tried bajini point, everest harbour, NB, PT
But are you at their admin terminals or the trading districts?
Cause you can only sell it at their admin terminals
admin for the stations, TDD for NB
@idle mortar you need to go here to sell it at NB
okay, I'll try NB again, ty
They just don't take it anymore
Rip
is demand generation broken or something?
You tried server hopping?
will the cargo stay?
If your ship is stored it should stay, but anyone can correct me if I'm wrong
Where can I sell this?
Grim hex or breaker also I believe
whats a good cargo ship for 1 million?
Avenger Titan but you really won’t get practical cargo ships until around freelancer MAX range
what should i do to make money? @fallen burrow
If you’re somewhat decent at fps, try out mercenary bunker missions, basic level ones are having you kill 10 guys and not shoot friendlies for 15k, getting rep up to tier 3 pays you 60k to kill 3 waves of 7 or so
sell at admin at area 18
You could also ask to be someone’s gunner in global chat and have them take you on bounty missions
would you say raft would be a good idea to get first then work to the max?
MAX is only 300k more than raft, so I’d say just tough it out for the last 300k and make that jump
Constellation Taurus is the cheapest real cargo runner, with a cargo capacity of 174 and a price tag of 3.3 mil
After that you get into Hercules/Caterpillar/Carrack range
There has been a lot of changes to trade items and cargo but I will try to help you after June 4th or so as I do not have access to my PC now. There are several ways to go about trading. Best wishes!!
Can you yet detach and reattach the cargo containers on a RAFT?
Pretty sure New Babbage mall has an Admin Station...Try there...
Upcoming patch...
C.O. Nomad but you need at least 120 SCU to make money with lawful cargo
yeah I did, thanks anyway! 🙂
TDD won't take my iron. It's not even listed as a material they buy - any clue where I need to take this ?
should i just stick with the nomad and do drug running then?
I used a nomad to drug run and bought the prospector with the profit
Been trading with the C2 over the last 2 days but ended up losing approx 1.6m to bugs so waiting for free fly to end
yeah running large cargo never feels safe to me
and 30k protection has been disabled?
its doing allsorts of weird stuff at the moment I'm just doing bunkers and bounties e.t.c to make money, far too risky doing cargo
Not on purpose but yes
ah, that explains a few things
I came across some cargo through some questionable means. I hit the Admin terminal at Grim Hex because I thought they would buy most of it but there are a lot of locked items. Am I SOL on getting paid for this cargo?
try selling it at those no questions asked terminals like the scrapyard
most of that looks like trash though
doesnt work on the scrapyard nor nqa terminals on cru l4-l5
tried it and wasted my time, not sure how others are doing it
you can search this discord and see people with the same questions
lol just came across a player wreck with zip and freeze after spending 10mins trying to pull it out of the msr wreck
Got a railgun I need someone to buy from me
Lol how much
Also trying a C2 is fun but holy crap you can lose all of your money to 1 30k… it’s mad. I wish there was a way to recover your ship if that happens
@ocean falcon
hey need help i been trying to do cargo runs but every time i pick the boxes the mission doesn't update
Theoretically in the case of a 30k it should (eventually) store your ship somewhere with it's cargo intact, provided you don't make an insurance claim before it finishes processing. Not sure if it's working currently though
It isn't
yeah it isn't if you are outside of your ship, even if its on a landing pad the ship and its cargo are gone.
lost over 1mil in cargo the last two weeks.
whats the restock timer on mining stations>
Depends on the station/commodity. Check the trade tool.
most all trade has been stood on its head in preparation for the huge changes coming in 3.20 patch. The online sales tools are at a disadvantage because they depend on data mining the game files for info. They are in a situation of flux with some patches pulling the data during some testing (as I understand it).
How can i sell Weapons the Best and fastest?
just bought 40 scu of helium following commodity price alerts and I can't sell them in loreville, no info why whatsoever
This fucking game! I loaded 144 scu into a C2 at one location then went to another location and loaded the rest. When I got back into the C2, I saw that it hadn't updated to show all the cargo. 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?
does my cargo disapear when a rented ship expires?
yes
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.
how much does an arrowhead midnight sniper sell for
Have a look at the prices in #market-street
When I loot a scu box from a ship how can I tell what’s in the container? I scanned the ship, and only wanted some of the boxes. I noticed some were white, brownish, and green. What’s the color code or can I look inside or scan on foot?
CHAPTERS BELOW
While not a State of Trade, we're going to take a look at the updates that 3.19 brings for trade and examine each updated commodity.
If you want to do a bit more research for your own trade runs, check out the spreadsheet below, or venture over to https://sc-trade.tools/home.
Happened to me twice over the past couple of days, around 1.6M lost. Honestly just leave it until invictus is over as you're just going to lose money, it's too risky
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.
Is there any why to get it back ?
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?
You can V scan other ships cargo but not sure about your own found or stolen cargo. But since you would be selling it at a TDD first chance you grab and go. Unless someone produces a crate color guide it's like a treasure hunt.
i appreciate the response ty. so youre certain theres no way to know whats in an individual crate
If you had a friend's ship they could do the scan. I have not done these custom salvage missions yet. I am a regular trader and use the Vulture for
RMC crates. I could put a post on Redditt about these and maybe get some better answers.
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
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
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.
each location has its own stock but the way it works is every location pulls their supply from one regionwide pool. This means you can get unlucky and in theory someone in a different server can show up to the location youre visiting 30 seconds before you get there and buy out the supply
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 ?
What is the best cargo ship to get after the avenger titan im looking to go big in terms of space trucking
Where to I sell party favors?
@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
freelancer is nice
cutty black aswell
shared across the region
I think the Freelancer is better, no? More cargospace
same price if I remember aswell
I've burned through a lot with 30k losses. Wish they would fix the 30k protection. Some say it works but I've yet to see it work.
It doesn’t work
Till ILW is over, I'm not doing much except bounties.
I learned my lesson
Is there a way to make SC tools not direct you to places where theres barely any stock to buy or no demand?
This ^^^ Lost far too much to even think about it again for now
i gota scourge desert shadow railgun dm w offers
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.
ive got desert shadwo railgun and archangel p6lr dm w offers
Only another week and we can hopefully resume normality
Lawful cargo isn't worth the time below 120 SCU. Freelancer max is the cargo haul starter ship.
anyplace been found to sell this junk? NQA's dont take it
where can you sell the ore you get from the salvage missions, none of the TDD or orse shops will buy it
the drugs can be sold at brios and places like that
is there a solution to this glitch i'm having? I'm using a constellation andromeda and when i go to a station to buy commodities its not letting me purchase any. my storage capacity doesn't pop up, and all the comms are red like its locked.
anyone experienced this? know a quick fix?
budget?
Anyone know what to do with uncut slam?
Throw it into space
the ore can be sold at refinery decks (and PO iirc), the rest is garbage
Good evening...can anyone guide me on how to sell boxes in my ship? And how to tell what's in them?
any admin/trade terminal will tell you what's in them, this site: https://sc-trade.tools/commodities will tell you where to sell
Cant decide between the caterpillar or the c2. The c2 seems more practical but the caterpillar looks so much cooler
The C2 is indeed miles more useful
The Cat might be more useful if CIG ever gets around to finishing it, but it's been years and I wouldn't hold your breath.
is there a list of all the kinds of cargo with the greatest profit margins?
anyone know where to sell gold? I got some from a salvage job and It wont let me sell at lorville, any tips would be appreciated
that looks cool thou whats that?
is sc trade tools not working for anyone else?
ay question the C2 is in the store and i have enough to upgrade my eclipse to it, reckon its worth it or should i invest the other 140 usd elsewhere
What gives more profit cargo or mining?
is there any place or way to sell one of trhese?
uncut slam
thrust
mala
zio
doppel
glow
freeze
no they are junk atm
even at grim hex not sellable?
i found one tone of each in a salvage field and hoped for the big money
gold or gold ore?
^ I got boxes with Gold ore. But not sellable anywhere. Tried ore sales at mining stations. Tried TDD's all a bust for me. Ended up blowing up my andromeda with over 40 scu's of ores
you can sell them
in refineries
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
Multiple servers
you can either refine them for more profit later on (2.5x more roughly) or sell them directly
I've heared ingame ores are bugged atm
you need to store it sometimes
no we are happily mining for days
have 11 refinery work orders running atm
No no normal mining works. But these are the scu boxes from salvage missions
Some ships have some cargo in them
ahh i see
Those seem to be bugged out atm i think
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?
i tried this and nothing. I can see the boxes on the ship but it just ignores it
here is the cargo
can't pull it off at all tho @jaunty hearth
i'm thinking i need to ditch it
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
I have a proposal in to some folks at a mining org to do such a chart. But it will take 2 weeks to do. Hang on.
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
Anybody know if salvaged cargo stores safely?
it has for me, until the ship bugged out on the pad and i had to reclaim it
drake mule not working? i coudnt pick up any boxes
I could be totally off but from what I’ve seen when salvaging Green are illicit, brown are ore or waste/scrap, blue with pink has been diamond for me but may be other conventional trade goods, and grey is RMC but might be others too
Yea i really would love to know that too
any way of determining what's in cargo cans?
so apparently there is something u can get called drugs and they are successful as fuck and i wanna know where i can get them and where i can sell or what their names are
There are many different drugs !tradetools ⬇️

anyone know where I can sell stolen titanium ore?
Look at tradetools
well sc trade tools says there is no where
i dont know the names of the said drugs bruh
!fit
Use #🤖┃bot_commands when you're not actually answering to someone please
what are the drug names
Idk, there's Slam and Widow, that's all I know
is buying regular cargo good aswell as long as its in the higher numbers?
cause i will need to buy the caterpillar as soon as possible
good in high quantities, profit % is much lower though
i only have around 112k because i asked for help on gaining money after losing a shit ton of it from a 30k
Lawful cargo only worth it with 120SCU at least. But since 3.19 came out, we had a lot of 30k and protection isn't working.
I just had a report of someone having 30k protection work and looks like something is happening in game so ig we can hope for it to be back soon but I wouldn't risk it now. Loosing a ship full of cargo is tough
yes but i would like to do cargo related stuff with the caterpillar again or atleast a C2 or something
C2 has the most cargo space
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
Not by much
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 💀
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 ?
Thanks! Looked for a channel but must have overlooked it.
Others are Etam, Maze and Altrucoxin. Learn how to navigate to the Jumptown sites to get a higher amount of these vices. High level of profits.
neon
Guys im knew to trading and i want to know do you just sit at the terminals untill you buy a full inventory ?
do drugs get removed from cargo hold when the ship is stored on a planet where they are illegal?
ive been wondering but is there a guide of how to get to jumptown?
no
Hi! I heard a lot of commodity data has been removed from client-side storage. Is SC Trade Tools still a good website to find good trade routes?
I may have answered my own question visiting the site right now lol
Jumptown Yela, Crusader

no but they will be if you are scanned by security
So does jumptown continue to run and spit out drugs even when event is not going?
no, but it does sell drugs even when the printer isn't working.
No quantum marker though.
Don't know but I am part of a thing that will catalouge the crates into a 2 view photo set with text ID. Some of the crates look the same however. Stay tuned may take a few weeks to pull off.
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.
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
Serious suggestion is to avoid the Cargo game loop for the time being - salvage is a little better. The reason I suggest this is that people are losing a lot of cargo right now with 30ks and server instability. Once they have proper 30k protection working again, it might be safer, but for the moment it's causing a great deal of problems.
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.
So, you may want to target the Vulture. It will serve as a Salvage ship, and has some minor SCU capacity to run small cargo if you chose, but the Salvage aspect will earn you money so you can buy a true cargo ship in-game when you feel it's safer to attempt that game loop.
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.
There is a handheld salvage collection device.
There are 2 salvage ships the Reclaimer and the Vulture.
Gotcha
Does it work now?
anyone know a way to sell Freeze, Zip and the like?
have already tried Brio's and GHex
is there a chart for 3.19 commodity prices?
hey guys, I bought a m2 full of souvenirs .. and I think I screwed myself since it seems there is no demand.... how long do I have to wait for the demand be be back? anybody know
yeah I saw that.. and NB buying it at a higher price currently as well. basically demand refreshes every 16hours right?
Can other players steal cargo off of a hull-a or the back of a nomad currently?
I don't mean after soft death, just walk up and pull them off?
Ok cool I just wondered if that was a thing
10 minutes from what I know.
is the Hull-E an actual confirmed concept also if so any idea when it's coming to game?
Can a ursa fit in a mpuv cargo?
!fit
hey guys i'm brand new to the whole drug running scene, where do you go to sell drugs? also, wtf is Thrust? never heard of it before
@crimson oakok thx 🙏
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.
What does 30k protection do?
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
realized that a bit later, might just gold run with it when i build up some money
best way to haul illegal drugs?
Quickly.
I use my C2 as it's tankier.
Nice try pirate. YouTube has multiple buy and sell locations.
Anyone recovered a there stuff yet after a 30k?
Yes, looks like 30k protection is back on. Can tell it'll work 100% yet but some ppl had it working
worked
it should work again, most important thing is to give it enough time
I'm guessing the Taurus is a better choice than the freelancer max for small cargo runs ??
More cargo, but costs a decent bit more
backend problems rn
Bro just ask for routes
If you want to fish information just ease into it, act new
First ask what ships
Then say you only have a titan/cutty
