What's the best rentable trade ship for gold and Slam?
For drugs you probably wouldn’t have enough aUEC to fill a C2. So I would get a cutlass black for drugs. You wont make much doing legal cargo with anything under a C2
My opinion of course
Misc freelancer at any station above a main city except P.O.
Go to the cargo deck
andromeda probably has the best cargo space on the rentals, or 600i
Thanks squig and set 👍
Well you can get the Cutlass black and caterpiller rented for free rn
Helium has been nerfed F
It already sucked
Can party favors still be sold anywhere or is the event over as far as that commodity goes? 🤔
Indeed, I just really don’t like the way the Taurus looks, pointless thing really but It does annoy me a lot
Did hellium get nerfed?
anyone now a good route with the m2
ah ok, because it used to be 400
yeah i wish it was : (
How cool would it be if they implemented something like x4 where there are npc commodity runners that you could intercept and destroy, causing the place the npc was going to have an under stock of the commodity it was running if you do it enough
So what's the best place to sell cargo from illegal missions, like eggs and drugs and such?
Or places
"it already sucked" yea 300% profit almost zero risk sucked
is there a reason not all of my cargo would show up to sell at once?
also taking a while to process orders
Now do the actual flat numbers and not just percentages
Are ships still randomly exploding while entering or leaving or just sitting in hangars? I lost several cargo loads that way yesterday
used to be a 300 profit so using a c2 thats 208,200 in profit for an investment of only 69,400 which is 300% also the run only takes about 10-12 minutes if you skip the tram ride by storing and relogging
sure it earns about half the profit of beryl but for a tiny fraction of the investment which makes it far less risky with all the server instability
is there a guide to ID cargo visuallky?
hey how do i sell ores in cargo boxes
anyone have any tips for dealing with the atc bugging out? i keep trying to land and store my ship, but it says im blocking an active bay and only lets me claim it. it doesnt start the auto-storage with blocking a bay either
okay, did something that worked
just exited to menu, joined a different region, and the ship was stored
ezpz
where can I sell illegal cargo?
I am on a team that is producing such a visual guide. Give us 2 weeks...
thanks
Grim Hex or the no questions asked terminals like cru l5.
Yo so me and my friend were running narcotics to breakers yard in daymar and we kept getting blown up by this AI ship im guessing how do you deal with it or is there another good spot that doesn’t have that ship?
https://sc-trade.tools/home go to best buyer
top left trading>best buyer type in the commodity you're trying to sell and it will show you the locations and sell prices
How much does cargo/trading actually make usually? kinda curious how it compares to salvaging
So I accidentally bought some waste, so I went to trade tools and it says I can sell it at PO, but I go there and it says cannot sell.
Could it be illegal waste? If so, how do I know if it's illegal?
depend on the cargo size
doing drug with a cutlass can bring 100k in 15min but its not all the time
legal trading can bring same same over bigger distances with a c2
i was thinking of getting the max or the taurus if its profitable. Mining and salvaging isnt very fun sometimes, where as flying and landing seems chill and enjoyable.
Less tedious than getting in and out of chairs like with the salvaging, i just dont know if its easy to find things to haul to make money? never tried it
what is the "Party favors" cargo that is at CRU L1 buyable for 1.2k/unit ?
and is it worth to buy and sell it at a TDD ?
have u tried ROC mining ?
otherwise i would go drug run with that ship
coz you need a lot of space (C2) to make real money with trading
also with trading you need to put your money on the line
on a full C2 of beryl its 1.5m
I turned to cargo specifically because of how buggy ROC mining has been. between certain rocks having their charge bugged out or extraction mode not working...
usually spend 80% of my time waiting for the extraction mode to work
man im such a dummy, fell for the construction materials rush
7mil cargo for just barely 90k profit
30k trading best xD
Take it to a TDD best chance to sell it. Or have a friend use V key to scan your ship.
I've been trading stolen goods but I haven't really been turning a profit. I don't know what routes to take or how to make it more efficient. I know the basics of trading (buying from "no questions asked," selling, etc) but I don't know how to do it effectively. It anybody could help me out or give me some pointers, that'd be great.
30k protection should be working now, just make sure to wait before logging in, and also dont claim the ship. it should go back to home and you need to retrieve it there.
I haven't been able to play the last 2 weeks so am not familiar with the salvage contracts in person. However I have pretty good experience with straight up Vice trading. Just send me a DM and we can talk about that more and when I get back into the game next week will try these salvage missions. It sounds like certain ships in the mission can have high value crates for sale which is great because trading requires a big upfront investment for the C2 I use.
been using the cat for runs, having a fantastic time
would love to be able to do laranite, but the restock is so slow if anyone else is running it that i can almost never maximize profits
been running beryl on hurston, very consistent and easy to do
pretty safe too
So tried my hand at cargo today
30k protection worked great but i lost all my profits after storing my Hercules
Only to find it as destroyed after i tried to retrieve it :<
Yeah that's a new 3.19 thing. Maybe don't store if you're about to sell, just sell like it. It's better not to risk your money :S
Very true !
I only stored because the goods terminal didn't show my hercs inventory (even though it did let me select the Hercules) and such i couldn't sell the stuff.
Was hoping storing and retrieving would fix it.
I'll be more careful next time ig
Lorville has a surface entrance perhaps land there and run to the TDD terminal to sell it.
I was selling at MT
But I'll keep that in mind when planning for next time !
MT has a surface entrance to Commons too
but if you have the bug with not showing cargo it isnt useful
Can you sell even when your ship isnt landed in a hangar ?
Ah i thought you had to be at a valid parking spot
Thx, really useful to keep in mind !
I guess you could go back to the ship and do a normal store process. Will 3.19.1 fix this??
those tram rails come from spaceport
Well
The only option i got now is to file a claim.w.
So rip the cargo either way
I would like to see a view like this for the Lorville garage entrance. I could not find it even in the daytime. Also it's a longer run but nbis has a garage entrance by the ship terminals.
really? every run i did yesterday i stored my cat, never had a single issue with losing profits
It can happen. Just a small risk but with big consequence if it was a damn full C2
gotcha, good to know
luckily im almost at max profit on my cat so hopefully i won't have to worry about losing cargo soon
planning to get 6 mil so i can buy my own cat and have enough to get full profit on beryl
IMO there's no reason not to buy a C2 over the Cat other than wanting a Drake ship.
i honestly just don't like how the C2 looks lol
I've noticed if you use the auto-pilot landing, it reduces that happening, or maybe it's coincidence. When you are hovering just over the pad you can hold down N and it will auto-land you. I've had no problems having my ship recognised since I started doing that anyway. Possible confirmation bias though.
it's objectively better in function but the cat is just so much more my style
Yeah this too, I can understand they look weirdly large and somewhat flat but not really flat. It can't be described 
yea lmao
it's like it just has a tiny smooth head
just doesn't look like how i expect a cargo ship to look
granted i am also just a sucker for big, chunky, industrial spaceships
Anyone know how to fix the cargo not showing up in TDD terminals bug??
Beryl to Huston. Bought 696 was only able to sell 202 but there’s still 400 in my c2. Shows In TDD it’s 0/696.
Tried relogging and restoring. Tried to go to a18. No luck.
I as just reading through the chat and found this what does scanning a friends ship have to do with selling ore, is there some sort of interaction with that
The player didn't know what was in the crate. The first step in selling cargo is knowing what it is.
oh i see.
Can anyone recommend a good cargo ship? looking to swap my taurus for a corsair and then pledge a seperate ship. some people say C2 some say Caterpillar i am not sure which route to go
Hull A does not seem to have a lot of cargo space
for me C2 is best - It can move in atmo, Catepillar was like a brick and flying it was painful - with C2 it is pleasure, also C2 have Shields (with capital S) so you can charge QD and run, with catepillar you will explode before it will charge up
Also sold my Taurus for Corsair 🙂
C2 is clearly the best out of the two, on all stats. Just get a cat if you like its look more than the C2
C2 is best but i am a sucker for the cat
i honestly really enjoy flying the cat, just takes a little practice, not sure why people dislike it so much
Because Drake goes all-in when designing ships for specific purposes. For Catterpillar, purpose is to be a long rnage hauler, both cargo and vehicle, that's why it is sich longboi, and brick to handle, especially in atmo.
And as far as I understand, cargo weight still doesn't fit into flight system. Yet.
what commodity would yall recommend for smaller ships? i've only got a cutty rn and was thinking about laranite
Drugs are better. Lawful cargo isn't worth the time it take with less than 120 SCU
Yeas, as much as it is risky, both CS and pirate/griefer wise, drugs are only good cargo if you got small ship.
for a cutty, drugs are def better
drugs it is then lol
i agree with this, but it seems the QT fuel is actually kinda low on the CAT
went from CRU to Arc and had like under 75%
While you can make profit with smaller ships, it wont be in any appreciable amounts money wise after refueling and repairs, and you cant always count on RNGesus to be merciful when looting crates at trading outposts.
Depends on wich QT engine you had. Some are gasguzzlers but fast, others are economical but slow. Same thing as you buy vehicle for yourself in IRL.
honestly I've been using it for moon to planet hauling, i end up running out of atmo fuel first
otherwise qt fuel barely drops below 10k
I just brought up erkul calculator, default engine is Mil grade C class. Best availbale for Catterpillar are Erebos (Civie A class) and TS-2 (Milspec A class).
just a stock Cat, rented for drake day
Is 30k protection working now? Got a full load in a C2 then 30k 🤦
It should be
Find out shortly 🤦
30k protection is on, they re-enabled it
So went to A18 retrieved it, stored, transfering to storage for ages then was unknown 🤦😂
How much did you wait before rejoining the game?
About 15 minutes, it's all good, I went to the TDD and it recognised the ship so managed to sell it all.
30k protection works but stresses you out 😂
Agricium, larantie, quantanium.
!fit
theres no way to see a facility's stock before going there, right?
Beryl also...
can no longer do it because i dont have money
Mainly Laran
But the problem is when a lot of people try cargo hauling Lara/beryl at the same time
So it’s gonna be out of stock most of the time
Sorry, I know it costs a lot.
beryl doesnt really run out, but it fills up sell locations fast
what do yall recommend for lara routes? i feel like im constantly unable to fill my cat and have to settle for beryl
Did you try Lathan? In 3.18 I tried 5 Lara purchases there 3 were 50 to 91 scu the rest not so good. Another idea is buy once go into space bedlog and come back again or just store and return. After the game stabilizes more.
been doin lathan and bezdek mostly
thing is at that point it ends up being faster to just buy beryl
just wish there was a way to check before flying there
hey, where can i sell uncut slam?
and is it worth anything?
i just found a crate
1scu
uncut slam is worthless
ok thx ^^
Hey guys, I'm selling some salvage cargo at NB, I was able to sell 1 scu, but I can't sell the rest? (it shows up as red). Any idea why or how to fix?
where can i see these pls?
you cant
fck
Anyone have issues where it charges you for entire load, but doesn’t put all of it in there?
is a caterpillar worth it for cargo runs?
When I put cargo into the garage of the carrack, is it recognized by the system so that I can sell the cargo?
Better have a C2 unless you like the Cat look better
How did you get thoseeee
I have some questions for any of ya'll in here that have been actively attempting cargo running this patch (braver men than me). What cargo has been working the best for you? are the restock times on buyable minerals ball busting right now? what kind of profits per hour are you realizing?
if you have a big cargo ship lik ethe C2, beryl is good
Yeah I was eyeing up beryl and possibly laranite. any trade good besides minerals worth it/
medical, if you can find some 🙂
if i wanted to get started in trading with a cutlass is there a route or good you would recommend?
Nothing will make you profit in a cutlass except drugs
Stolen from 150k salvage mission
You can go to the Trade Tools site and put together some basic routes. Some trade goods pay more at certain cities. Avoid the lowest tier of trade items. Grind up to like a Freelancer Max.
thanks, I normally am doing salvage but with the 30ks due to the freefly ( i hope) I have lost like $200k with accepting salvage missions just looking for something to try thats different
Would anybody be willing to help me trade drugs? I'm not very experienced with it and I would definitely give you 50% of the profits if someone helped me out. If anybody is willing, I'll make a VC for us
Is there any live website where you can see what to buy and transport to sell? For best profit?
Anybody got some cargo missions?
Cargo missions only exists in the form of small deliveries
Yeah those @spare cloud
i've found some ore boxes, where can i sell those?
Try the nearest TDD terminal...
i tried, didnt work there
same as mining outposts
Is there a red shade around them? You might have to restack them on the cargo grid. But it could be a crap glitch.
nah, they are filled white
^ You prolly found them during salvage mission? They cant be sold. Bugged atm

I kind of wish they'd have large/small pads with items that can only be loaded/unloaded if you're actually landed at a pad. You could end up with smaller ships moving items from small outposts to larger outposts/stations and big ships moving between larger outposts/stations. Right now it's kind of goofy and no real reason to trade in a small/med ship
yea that's true
it would also make sense for them to add a loading time for cargo, obvs slower at small posts or for large ships, but i kinda hope they don't do that
gotta say im very impressed with the money I've made hauling, no exploits or anything
how much did u make?
ive made 2 mil this weekend from off and on trading
?
i almost got a million but lost it all
rip lol
i almost lost 1.5
but 30k saved it
didnt think it did, but i double checked and it was all there
How risky are the 10k salvage cargo runs?
Not really at all. You need to fuck around for half an hour before they even send a ship to the area, so you'll easily be out of there in no time
Glad to hear it, I know the 150k's can have other folks show up and stuff. Guess I'll have to try some of the lessers
Yeah. The 10k salvage missions are currently best used as a way to gamble for their cargo, so kinda aren't great to do as a vulture
They're nerfing that
Well we know they are rebalancing them, but I've yet to see anyone confirm any statistics on it
It'll also be hard to gauge how much they've nerfed it if all they did is change the rarity
did they stealth hotfix nerf trade supply? my run has gotten a lot worse the past few days and i feel like it cant ALL just be these rented caterpillar andy's
just lost 1.3mil because my engines just stopped working over lorville
dropped out of the sky with no way to stop it
Sorry...darn bad situation.
@brittle orchid damn. I know that feeling. I've blown up my cargo more than once because the damned speed limiter decides to turn on by itself even when my hand is nowhere near the key. Some idiot decided to make it so it can't be permanently disabled and turns back on automatically each time you sit in the seat
You talking about cruise control?
Check your settings if it's always on when you get in the pilot seat
No. Cruise you can just not set a button for and I've never had an issue.
I'm talking the speed limiter. I had to set a button on my hotas specifically for limiter because the damned thing turns back on everytime i enter/exit the seat. And it's turned on and smashed me into stuff numerous times.
You can turn it on or off. Mine has a tendency to actually engage the engines. This generally happens at a VERY bad time. This happens even though I have it set to a toggle switch that i can't hit without taking my hand off the throttle, specifically so it can't be hit accidentally
So cruise control
If i could completely disable it permanently id have saved myself multiple destroyed ships
Not entirely sure. Limiter is the only one I have set to the hotas at all. Cruise isn't mapped at all.
Not saying i can't be wrong, I'm not at my PC to double check. But if it's ON i can't speed up past that point. But it will activate itself at full blast
I can turn it to on and not move even if i max icon to the top of the throttle.
Ok, so the square around your speed indicator is the limiter, if it's full it's limited, if it's only the corners, it's not. If you get a line and an arrow pointing at the line, that's the cruise control that will keep you going forward at full speed if limiter is off, or at the limiter if it's on
Ok, it's definitely the limiter icon then
Bc i know if it's off and not going to randomly kill me when it's a broken square lol
If you made your own control mappings, it's highly likely you double bound keys
I very well could have, but i swear that i purposely went in and blanked out both cruise and limiter. I specifically remember having to go back and remap limiter because it automatically turns on when sitting in the pilot seat and had to be turned off each time i want to fly
Might also have to take a look in the general settings
There's an option to set/change almost all things in the cockpit when you sit in the pilot seat
Like start with gsafe on or off, coupled or decoupled and all that
I'll go through when i can and see if i can find a solution for it. Ty for the advice
Well son of a bitch. I missed it. THANK YOU
Lol no problem
how much is one box of maze?
whats the best space trucking commodity right now?
Ask !tradetools ⬇️
One-stop-shop for everything trade related in Star Citizen: best trade routes, best mining spots, etc.
it be like that. had like 500k in ship upgrades on me too because of the vehicle loadout bug, was gonna take them to lorville and spawn an owned ship there to fix it while hauling
my only other "bought" ship is a reclaimer so,,,
Did you uninstall then reinstall them before flying off?
couldn't even access the menu to install them in the first place, so i was just taking them to my next stop
Damn. That sucks. If you're in that situation again, server hop till you can access. Don't even get off the bed, pull up the menu and if it doesn't work, relog
gotcha, will do
my friend told me the workaround was to just spawn another non-loaner or non-rental ship, but I'll do that next time
luckily it's only 2 stops to get all the parts, and i still have 1.3 mil so i can hopefully work my money up once the economy stabilizes from all the cat free-fliers
honestly the best possible situation for a cargo loss, where i still have enough money to make max profit
and despite my losses I've still made a bit more than my friend grinding combat missions all weekend lolol
@proud pumice did you manage to fix your limiter problems?
?
honestly i do think it's the free fly cats
only an hour and a half more of them though :3
that includes u
huh
i am not a free fly cat
i started using it during free fly bc i remember really enjoying it during a previous free fly, then i pledged it bc of the really good ccu chains
where do i sell cargo boxes from salvage runs? i have a box thats a different color than the rest but wont sell at HUR L1
some cant be sold
19.1 will allow the new drug types to actually have a buyer, rn they dont
ah ok, i just figured with the different color outline it may be worth something
go to a terminal and figure out which one it is by accessing your ships inv through it
weevil eggs are 112k and osoian hides are 220
ok and if i have either of those where do i sell them?
salvage yards. Brios/orinth/one on wala i dont remember the name of and one on calliope
nothing on hurston?
orinth
ok
helium nerfed?
how do i see whats in a container thats on my ship?
Visit a commodity terminal or have somebody scan you and tell you
Those are the ways I know
Assuming that 30k protection is working for cargo protection, do you absolutely have to be in your ship when the 30k hits? What if you have a ship full of cargo and the 30k catches you while you're still running around the outpost? Anyone had that happen and recovered their cargo anyway?
I am part of a team that is developing a Crate ID website. Need 2 weeks or so for release.
When did 3 scu storage crates get added?
With Helium gone, what's the play for cargo hauling atm? Back to Beryl?
@strong sable sorry, night shifter and was sleeping. But yes, i found the setting and got it turned off ty again
Happy to help
me when i fill a c2 with drugs
beautiful ship.
i really hate how the c2 looks to be honest with u
tiny ass head smh
fair play if u like it
but its not for me
only thing not goated about the herc series is its insistency on faceplanting with every landing
i dont deny its better
but like
i really, really prefer big chunky industrial ships over smooth ships like that
btw the payoff for a full c2 of slam/widow/altrucia was disappointing for the buy in
~6.4m buy in, 1.6 profit
i guess realistically a 25% profit is really good it just felt low for how insane the risk is
I think tha's pretty good profit.
think about someone just starting, a titan or a cutter, the step is huge.
well duh, but we're not even in the same league
i know, but what i'm saying is that we tend to lose perspective of what we have.
assuming theyve been playing for a little bit and have gotten up to 600k, my risk was 10x their total account
how long did it take to fill it up?
like 2 hours
christ
Anybody tryna do cargo?
i just got a caterpillar the other day
ive been trying to do routes but every time i go for a commodity its out of stock or not true to what the sites say XD
where in NT-999-XX do i buy drugs?
At the terminal?
my brother in chrsit you are at the wrong location
weird question
are crates color coded if so what does a blue and white crate hold
for a single seater minimizing size and maximize cargo, does anything beat the nomad? not looking to bump up to freelancer max size nor am i looking at cutlass
also like the idea of a tractor beam
There is a team developing a Crate ID chart for such questions.
Potentially a hull-a?
Biggest problema bout the Hull-A is while it is a better cargo mover than the nomad, it is entirely incapable of transporting vehicles
free lancer max is what i was using before a c2 herc
Anyone know any good trade routes? Helium is dead and Beryl is too risky for it's at most ehh returns.
Nomad will always remain a favourite of mine, but the Cutlass is great for that little bit extra in cargo and it zips around quickly too. For cargo it's a good step up but for combat I just couldn't get on with it due to the engine vulnerability. You're essentially doubling the cargo space going to a Cutty Black too so it's more profit. I upgraded mine to the Taurus which gives you nearly quadruple the cargo but yesterday gave in and went all the way to a C2 for my main cargo ship. The CCU chains available made sense to me
What cargo space do you have available? Beryl has been a great money maker for me. I've tried the Laranite and Gold routes but the stock is too scarce and I don't have the patience to wait, it's better to be moving and earning instead of chancing stock availability. Drug running works well but still the issue of stock availability and that added risk of piracy, but that's what made me my first chunks of money, the Nuen Waste - Brios run on Daymar is quick and simple plus you can always fall back to Grim Hex as the sell point if you spot potential pirates at Brios.
That's what I'm running, the Beryl trade nets me approx 210-220K per run I think using the C2.
Plus with 30K protection back if anything happens the ship and cargo should in theory be stored back at your home planet.
I just think you need to be really patient or lucky to bag Laranite or Gold and other expensive commodities, Beryl is plentiful and restocks loads per minute.
The thing that scares me is glitchy landings. With the Helium trade, I wouldn't lose more than 70k if it happened, but with Beryl, that's half of my auec gone in a flash, not even my fault.
I need to make 2m within the next 2 hours
*4
4 hours
Try that Beryl run, you're landing on a proper pad to buy and a proper port to sell so should be safe. I bought at Ita - Woodruff/Ryder and sold at Lorville, quick and easy
You should be able to do 1M per hour easily, only issue may be the demand at Lorville but it changes quickly so you may have to wait to sell a full C2 worth
Yeah but why does Lorville have to have such small ass pads tho?
Like it's hair raising trying to squeeze a C2 in there
They're not that bad, if you level off the ship close to the hangar doors and go into third person you can just move it into the hangar no problems
Practice makes perfect
They're not difficult, they just scare me
I don't know why
I'm not a bad pilot
Usually at least
Spend that extra minute landing properly and you get paid, just gotta be patient
Don't forget autoland if the ships a bit off before you land, it'll do it all for you
whats your route?
Ita > Woodruff or Ryder then Sell at Lorville
Really quick route
cool thanks
ive just been going around crusader system for drugs, idk if its a good method
Yeah Crusader is great for vice products
I have a custom top down view of the C2 keyed in and the landings have never been easier. Try it someday.
Ah you are the guy buying all the drugs away 😂
y'all think there will be trading changes with hull c release? i'm hoping so since i imagine everything will be sold out since it carries as much as six c2s lol
Yes
I read a few things about 30k protection with ships being sent back for your main residence if it happens but I lost 200k today on my second ever run. Did I maybe do something wrong? The ship was at my main hanger but empty
If anyone could share some trade routes that are fun that would be super appreciated. I was really hyped to get into this now I'm scared lol
Dms are open if anyone wants to be pen pals ❤️
you went back to your main city, retrieved, and it was empty?
you never hit claim for that ship on any terminals
I crashed in a18 ship was sent back to new babbage. I went back there. Went to tdd and checked if it registered my ship. It was already waiting for me there but cargo hold was empty
Did I maybe need to pull it out of cargo and put it back in?
Still haven't claimed it. Went to bed in defeat lol
yes do exactly that, but go another step beyond and take it out, fly it around, qt away and back
then try again, if the boxes are physically inside the cargo area the terminal should recognize them after
ive dealt with the same thing
Ok so there is a chance I still have them. So drag my self back to babbage, take it out and check if it has cargo. If I see nothing do I move on or could the cargo be invisible until I fly about a bit?
Thank you btw, this hope feels lovely lol
99% odds the cargo will be in the hold when you open it and check
if not tho yeah its doomed
also, yw
Ok I'll try that tomorrow. I loved renting the Caterpillar so I'm glad there is hope for me as a hauler yet lol
Any pointers on general planets I should orbit/goods to look for? I tried using cs tools but no shop had helium and that seemed pretty worth while
I assume it didn't since they said they'll try tomorrow
it could tomorrow tho
But it could be an issue. Rentals don't magically disappear when time ends while you're flying it but it stops appearing on trading terminals
she said the ship is showing on the terminal its just the hold is empty
so its not recognizing it
or its actually deleted but unlikely
I should have rental for another 14h and I can make the time when I wake up
I'll keep my fingers crossed and travel across the galaxy back to babbage to check tomorrow. I got hope lol
I'm sure time wont be the issue atleast
hull c will probably have a price hike once it releases right? carries more than zix C2s but costs $50 less when it was last for sale
yes
he's back to yes my question again 😭
do you need more than that? yes there will probably be cargo changes in 3.20 and yes the hull c will probably go up in price
no i don't i'm just messing around lol

straight to the point
think they're going to have to rework station trade since all the good trade routes are interplanetary, and that thing looks like it could only do interstationary trade
I have been thinking we have these Cargo stations and we have an entire world of space faring people... why would they limit main trade to planet side?
It makes sense in the future that people at space stations would be conducting the bulk of the trade, and only ship to the planet what they want to buy down their for their own consumption.
i mean it makes sense for there to be all the shipping from these production settlments to hub cities, but i think what's needed is more long distance, limited location supplies. like if arc corp didnt produce agriculture supplies but orison did, and arc corp needed it brought from there. like a revamp of the commodities price list
also pretend example. i don't think orison does much farming..
mining update was a step in the right direction so that stuff other than just laranite is worth trading
Probably lol, I went to bed though so all uours
I think everyone still uses the trade website so just look at the "popular" routes on there
SLAM is always out for instance
That could be true
I feel as though cargo running might be the most niche outside of freeflight
Or maybe Salvage since there's only one ship for purchase rn
Two
Well
One in game
I see what you mean
The whale is purchase able for aUEC but the solo ship is Pledge Only until 3.2 I think
when does 3.19.1 go to PU?
for anyone that has this or cares, i got all the stuff back. just had to actually bring her back out
is there no where to sell stolen cargo ores (gold, aluminum, etc)? I have been to grim hex admin, TDD, CRUL5 no questions asked, even Nuen Waste Management. Is there anywhere this stuff can sell?
I'm a huge newbie myself but I was just attended to https://sc-trade.tools/ where you can find places to sell specific loot
thanks but that's why I went to those other places to begin with
If there exists a better way to sell, I too would like to know in any case
I have an inventory cluttered full of 'Other' stuff that I need to get rid of.
actually, yeah you're right. I went to Area 18 TDD and according to this site I should be able to sell my degnous root there, but I couldn't.
but if they are really worth 13K a piece as the website claims then that would make me pretty happy.. though I kind of doubt it
Worth nothing if nobody wants it
I don't understand that. Metal is metal. Gold is gold. It's fungible, and even stolen it has value to someone. Makes zero sense that we can't sell it anywhere in a star system with 4 inhabited planetary systems
It would be nice if you could sell anywhere, but the prices would vary. Then traders could seek out best profits and casual players can just sell
The stolen cargo ores are atm bugged. It's fixed in the 3.19.1 patch
if the mining outpost is out of laranite, what should i buy instead?
Agricium or beryl.
The fungus roots and like the weevil eggs sell at an Admin Station. Did you try that?
The link above takes you to a crate chart guide.
anyone know what the "bonuses" are for the supply re-up mission?
any tips on what to do if your ship still has plenty of boxes but they aren't showing up on the trade terminal? terminal shows all the box spaces as empty
did you get hit by a 30k
no, just not showing up on sell terminals despite i know that they buy the product here
Not sure then, maybe retrieve and store again
that's kinda what started the whole ordeal. i stored my ship, it showed it was stored and had the retrieve button, but it was still in hangar 5 :/
server hopped after that
seems more and more like the only viable way to make money is bounties since its the only one that gives direct money. that and bunkers i guess
self destructed someone else's c2 at JT out of frustration

ah yea, we empty now

what's the favorite cargo run right now, still Helium to Area 18?
Can a reclaimer store a mpuv cargo?
Thanks @stable dust, raked in ~1,500,000 aUEC tonight with this run. Out of curiosity, how do you find these great runs? I've checked a lot of trade tools, they all seem super outdated.
Someone posted in here saying he’s trading Beryl round Hurston so I used SC Trade Tools and that’s what it suggested. First 5 runs were great and then I lost around 1.6M due to bugged cargo during ILW, seems to work fine now and I’ve bought a C2 to do this run for future releases, the Laranite and Gold runs are better but I haven’t got the patience to wait for stock, this is a solid earner.
hey guys. does the helium to a18 route still work now?
I read something that Helium is a ILW trade item only.
lookking to give trading a shot, it there a way to check stock without flying halfway across the galaxy and landing to have a look?
AFAIK no, unless you team up with other traders.
😦
You will need to rely a lot on your backfill items so that if say Laranite gives 20 to 40 scu then you top off with Titanium any amount you want. Do not backfill with low profit items. There are like 5 or 6 backfill trade goods.
idk why people wait for hours to fill up with lara n stuff
feels like the ita > lorville beryl run is the best anyone has been able to pin down
unfortunately that means lore I'll is gonna start running out of space for beryl real dang fast
Probably too late but I can confirm Helium is no longer available at Humbolt Mines.
I checked last night
I love the profits, just not the risk. Fortunately I haven't had any mishaps but with each trip, I consider the odds and the thought of losing 1.6M of cargo is terrifying. I'll check out Laranite and Gold, thanks for the tip.
Why did the remove Helium from Humboldt!?
event only
Hi guys, i'm new to cargo trading and I have a (beginner) question about it. Can I ask it here or is there a better place ?
You can ask in here and #helpdesk too 👍
Thanks ! Here I go :
I tried to get into the crago trading by myself. The UEX website told me to buy "souvenirs" at point A and sold it at New Babbage MTPS for a 25k profit.
When I arrived at NB MTPS, I wasn't able to sell the cargo because there was "no demand".
- Is it possible to know the current demand before buying the cargo ? If yes, how ?
- How do I know when the demand will be back ? (therefore, when will I be able to sell my cargo)
- How does the "demand" thing is working ? Who is creating the demand ? (am this question clear ?)
That's 3 questions actually 😄
To add more informations : I came back once every 30min to the admin console for 3 or 4h : still "no demand" 😦
Yes, check yourself at the place you plan to sell 🤷
You don't.
Basically the demand/offer is shared on all servers. So if someone on an other server buys before you, the offer on your server changes as well. It used to reset every 10-15 minutes but idk if it still works like this.
The fact supply/demand is SHARED between servers is so stupid
No, haulers would spend their time server hopping to somewhere ppl aren't trading.
Trading is stupid the way it is anyway.
I dont see what the problem is with that
Patch just dropped, may help our 30k issues and others!!
what's a good route to get into?
Just looked at CPA's in the game and Helium and AV equipment are listed...
Look up the places that sell Laranite and Beryl and put together a route you like. Hundreeds of options really.
what's CPA ?
The above from Ryukira of Frontier Consolidated..
Commodity Price Alerts...
@lavish night @visual berry I'm new to trading in SC as well, I have three websites bookmarked: SC Trade Tools, Galactic Logistics and UEXCorp. All of them seem to be out of date, I used all three websites to put together trade routes and less than half of the information was accurate making my route no bueno. I plan to start paying more attention to the Commodity Price Alerts, looks like that system could use some serious refinement. It seems odd to me that we can't look up stock/prices from locations without actually traveling there. So far the best resource I've found is asking here, "what's the best trade right now?" I ran a few loads of Beryl from the moon Ita to Lorville on Hurston last night and made some decent bank but it was very risky, 1.6M to buy for C2. One lost load and I would have been set back 6-7 loads. I managed to successfully run 6 loads, I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.
I like it because there is this crazy risk of losing your money. Lately there has been a reworking of the trade items. But even more risky are the Vice items lol. I do other activities to but trading is mellow with risk added.
It looks like we learned the same way. Except that I didn't knew about CPA.
What do you mean by "very risky" ? Is it risky because you can be attacked (player ? NPC ?) or risky because of bugs/30K ?
Moreover, can you run the same trade route over and over or does the price change too often (and therefore you have to find another route) ?
Sorry, I am REALLY new to it 😄
btw I am using a MSR for cargo
Risky because it's SC and shit happens. I'm not all that worried about players, I haven't seen much pirating this patch and NPCs are easy enough to avoid. 30K is scary, randomly dying or ship exploding is what keeps me up at night. Prices do change as demand changes however it's such a minor adjustment that you can run the same route for a week without too much worry price-wise. Good choice on the MSR, awesome ship. I got player pirated with 400K of refined quantanium in my Freelancer MAX a couple years ago, I decided to join the pirates for ~6 months to learn their ways. Whenever they would interdict an MSR they'd say, "let him go, he's probably going to outrun us before we can disable him".. I immediately bought an MSR for myself. I'm only using the C2 for volume, if I get player interdicted there's probably only one outcome and it's going to come down to negotiations.
I can chime in a bit more if okay with you. For one thing I missed the last 2 weeks of play but understand there were issues with 30K protection and that has been one saving grace with trading after you buy the goods but cannot sell them for various reasons. So I hope today's patch can clear that up. The other more normal risk is getting jumped by pirates even though that also is a bit rare. But you should always take certain precautions to make it harder on the pirates if they target you. The CPA's are mainly focused on Medical Supplies. Generally you buy at the Overstocked sites and fly around for the alert on a Understocked site to sell. Most traders don't mess with that. Speaking of trade missions Frontier Consolidated O/R/G had one internally that may be a model for ones offered by CIG. I did them twice about 8 months ago. It was trade items to build like 100 mining heads. So there is a parts list of about 10 items you have to get for a 150K payout. As you sell each set of items you take a screenshot of the sell. You still have to use your own money and thus earn off each sale. But I am not sure they still do this.
Do we know the patch is coming today?
2 hours ago I downloaded it...
So you cant have people on board the cargo hauler when you buy/sell?
are you talking about PU or PTU patch
Huh? There's no patch notes
You cannot, dead bodies count so make sure to remove them
Same applies to bedlogging
I didn't check but think this is a mini patch. They stole an in game Retailator from me but everything else kosher. EDIT: If you buy an in game ship "soon" be sure to retrieve it, call it to the pad then re-store at a minimum so that it's registered in PES. In my case I had bought it but never used because I went on vacation.
What does your launcher say
3.19.0 same as before...
So I went to Baijini point with drugs and I can't sell them. It let me yesterday

Thanks. I stored my ship there and retrieved it now my drugs are physically gone. That normal?
where did u get this from
What's the largest cargo ship you can rent now, still andromeda or did it change ?
nope you lost em
i did same thing yesterday
dont store with maze
bad idea
are there any acurate sites for trade running right now? I know uex is still getting sorted out and they are still behind, and I've never trusted sc trade tools since they've always had inacurate info
also, don't store your cargo ship at orison, it will delete your cargo still
I stored a c2 there and it got marked as destroyed
I just want to look at a list and randomly choose a route to go on. keeps the would be theives at bay
I gues I'll have to go around and make my own list lol
Google sc trade tools...then there's Gallog and uexcorp
Best trading route rn? Humboldt dosent have helium
Is the Andromeda still the largest rentable ship ?
she a beaut
So the crates you get from the drug dispenser. Where do you sell those? Is that also at a No questions asked terminal? And do you just put them on the cargo grid as normal?
I think piracy is less frequent since either asops aren't working or because it just feels wrong to rob people trying to make money in this brutally buggy patch.
MSR would be the dream ship for me to catch solo in my mantis. It holds alot of SCU, is slower than the mantis and Mantis could pretty easily solo it 1vs1.
Pirates don't negotiate much after physicalizes cargo got added. It's simply safer to soft death the ship, kill the pilot and steal the boxes.
That way the victim has less time to self destruct
Are they from the Jumptown event? If not I would try a salvage yard or Grim Hex...
Hey has anyone seen this issue? I have a full C2 but at any terminal at any station I cant see the cargo
I can see the cargo in the ship
did you get a 30k
no
Are there any websites that will let me autoroute my deliveries if i feed it locations for pickup/dropoff. Been getting bigger ones recently and want a faster way of plotting them out
Is there a better way to trade? Even non drug stuff like laranite isn’t in stock
What route did you do that allowed you to fill a c2? I can’t even fill my cutlass
^ Multiple locations. Spend bout 30-40mins filling it up at diffrent sites and then sell to a tdd
I got a 330K load that did not store properly. The server was dying. The TDD said I had 5 Oza's. Gave it all night no changes excepet to claim from an unknown location.
For how much
Where is a good place to sell ship weapons?
Hey, how do you guys find easy trade routes? Can I just go to any moon outpost, buy some metals and sell in any major city for example? Or would I be risking a loss then?
what? you are always risking a loss doing cargo
I mean if I buy/sell if I risk buying for more than I'd be selling for
Or if there's any specific commodity that is always guaranteed to make some profit
nothing sells for a 100% profit you are always risking more than you gain from any single run
I think you're misunderstanding me. I want anything >0% profit
so everything
And I'm wondering how picky I have to be with what I buy
everything turns at least some profit but i cant tell you what margin makes it worth it to you
the general high volume shit people do is like beryl, aluminum, titanium, and apparently helium
Ok, so plenty of options then. And I assume most people buy at moons and sell at major cities?
if you only have low volume drugs are the only thing not complete shit when compared to any other gameplay loop
thats correct
Ok awesome, I'll give it a shot then. Thanks for the info!
sure, general rule of thumb is things that are plentiful in one territory will sell for more in another
ie: theres a ton of beryl at MT, crusader pays the most for it
What's the risk of transporting something like WiDoW
you can get scanned by security and confiscated/fined
that is such a nonexsitent risk lmfao. drugs are the most risky way to make money in the game bc of other players
Anyone else lose their entire bank account worth of cargo because the ship blew up while walking to it in a hanger then getting slapped with a 30K?
Technically you're not supposed to invest more than 51% of your cash account into trading.
is there a good cargo route within the crusader system?
The one you make yourself !tradetools ⬇️

Outside of PO, it's been reliable from what I've seen. Specifically to check commodity prices
There's been a couple discrepancies with filler cargo prices
UEX is at least updated manually.
where is a good place to sell a C2 full of titanium
The closest TDD terminal...but there might be some distance bonuses.
i went to the admin place on lorvile and they wouldent buy it
Go to the TDD area
Look for the train to the central business district
there all the same there so confusing but i will
I know lol
got it know where do i sellscrap
actual "scrap" or the scu container from salvaging?
Just got my new hercules and I'm outta money cuz of 3.18 update, anyone got about 100k?
Any form of begging is strictly forbidden on this discord
Please

ive been playing for lilke an hour and theres been no delivery contracts the whole time
do I have to do something?>
This type of contract only show up when inside a planetary system, not around Lagrange points
If you're not having any, have someone share and complete one with you.
ah interesting ok
so... what do yall listen to when space truckin? dunno why i've been doing gregorian choir when in flight...
So I lost 1.6 mill due to the hanger desync.. in theory if I fly to restricted area in lorville and get impounded my cargo should be there and able to sell? Then I avoid the hanger doors?
yes
just gotta pay the 2k impound fee, but insta stores ships, i do that often with larger runs
Nice
Find that surface garage entrance and use that option.
??? enlighten because i hate landing at lorville
what area is off limits now do you know? like any landmark i can fly too
i always fly real close to the tower with all the red lights on it
found a c2 with 1.6 beryl but abandoned no owner
if i transfer it on to my ship can i sell at tdd or will i have to got to nqa?
is it considered stolen?
don't think so
loose cargo is loose cargo
salvage missions with cargo doesn't count as stolen
but also no player assigned to the ship so
audiobooks - always audiobooks - I always do same thing on long travel - this is why i do like to travel 🙂
that's a good idea, forgot about those
Only subsription service i do love 🙂
can you pay off cs3
no
only with time or hacking 🙂
only 1 and 2
bruh
700 beryl scu worth it
it is only 50+ minutes, so.... 🙂
gonna pay off then come back and ram the ramp till it opens lol
lol what ramp??
why would you ram it
for the c2?
theres an abandoned c2 with 700 scu beryl at mining ooutpost
shoot it open
you wont' be able to transfer anyway then
ok great but ramming counts as breaking armistice so wha are you paying off the crime for
so you can move cargo 🙂
*cant
^
tractor beam won't work in armistice except by "glitch" sometimes on the pads
bruhs
i get the ramp open
then take the c2
move cargo in space
i just need to get inside
shoot from outside armistice
will that work? maybe worth a try.
BROTHER IM NOT FOCUSED ON THAT WHAT IS THE POINT OF GETTING RID OF CS IF YOURE JUST GOING TO GET IT RIGHT BACK
^^^lmfao
cause i can pay off cs2
🙂
didnt know if i should keep going to cs3
wait, how much have you been ramming it?
thats not entirely accurate. cs3 can be paid off if its an accumulation of petty crimes
charges like homicide, which net cs3, cannot
statioin wont shoot onsite?
it will
i paid 100k at grimmy with cs3, left grimmy, still had cs3, but no fines
i just feel; like something bad is going to happen to you dealin with this lol
waiting like 5 minutes for this bastard ship to store dont you fucking destroy my ship on me
finally, only took over 5mins
i do wonder - how it counting "AVG" based on this 🙂
220 now and still going 🙂 i do not think i will play today 😦
244 - and it reversed - when second timer reached 120 i did left
ah nice i do a full load and it deletes over half
it is why i did paste my post 🙂 If it reverse you items it will do on cargo too 🙂
what
press ` and write "r_displayinfo 1" - use i and put something on (or change) on left of your screen you will see same timer as mine
check it
why
what does it have to do with what happened to me man
i put clothes on me to check - you put cargo on ship - we both get reverse - i lose 20 sec, you do half of cargo 🙂
????
Is there a way to check if a location will buy my goods, and for what price before I use the terminal? Or is it something you get a feel for with experience?

Hey any recommendations for trade between orison and loriville /new babbage?
Just got a c2 and neeed to make some cash
Look at the 5 sites that have Beryl and use that info to set up a trade route.
Beryl? Thanks!
Here's the deal. The surface entrance is on one of the Perimeter lines at Lorville. But I could not find it in the dark with the ship. So I am getting my alt character at the door and use that as a marker. Once I get the place locked down will develop a access guide to it. Please advise if you want to join me. Bye for now.
Anyone know why c2 would suddenly stop showing having a cargo grid in buy screens?
Pretty sure cargo missions are slightly bugged. When they work they work. When they don't...welll...
Try to buy 2 or 3 and check ship see what happens.
It wouldn't even let me select commodities to buy, solid red
what are some good starter trading routes ? and what should i buy there
Try another site or reclaim ship.
What ship you have?
i got a taurus, currently buying gold on daymar and gonna sell at a18 tdd, hows that ?
servers are really empty right now
Gold can be used as a backfill but try to start with a high grade item like Beryl, Agricium or other top 7.
got 47scu of beryl because there wasnt alot of gold
and how long does it usually take for stock to refill
Then buy Titanium as backfill or fly around to other sites or store try again tomorrow.
can i sell diamonds at a18 TDD ?
Yes...
So if the game breaks while im qting with an entire c2 full...do i lose everything? Because if so i really only have 1k to my name because this fucking game likes to dc
elaborate on what happened
I was on a quantum jump from new babbage to orison to deliver a (mostly full) ship or beryl. Game dc-ed a little under halfway there.
And as im super new i was extremely stupid and put literally all my money into that run.
I thought it would be fine..the game had been running well save for the global chat bs.
when you say game dc'd
did you disconnect
or did the server crash
aka 30k error
if YOU disconnected, then joined a new server its gone
if the server crashed, your ship will be moved to your home location, as is
is orison still blowing up cargo ships?
last few times i went there it decided i shouldnt exist when i was trying to land
if atc doesnt acknowledge 'landing complete' and you despawn your ship in that hangar it will become unknown
but i did have it happen today where i did everything right and stored my c2, took a century to store and when it finally did over half my beryl was deleted
oh it didnt even let me land, i went through the hangar doors and exploded. i was going slow as hell and didnt touch anything
probably invis debris
pretty much just RNG if one survives the landing or not then lol
My C2 at Orison would not finish storing and I had to log off. They traded 332,000.00 in cargo for 5 Oza's. Fuckheads.
Every time I take the Connie there it blows up
🥲
Do you store your c2 before going to the tdd to sell?
I have a little beryl but it's not showing up when i try and sell it
Tdd can see my c2. But nothing shows up when i click it
Nope...nvm storing it destroyed it...
Literally how do i even progress in this game with everything working against me
Yes I stored it at Orison but it did not complete the process. I would say avoid Orison until the 3.19.1 patch drops then if you have to go back there test it with a smaller load(s) Usually Orison works very well for me. I have just completed a survey of the surface or garage dock/building at Lorville. There are no crazy winds there and most people don't go there. It's on the Perimeter Line that goes to Gate 6. There is a white strobe at the top and is 15KM from the terminals. More details later.
Heading to loriville with a significantly smaller load now. Gonna at least give it a shot
You going to gate 6?
No idea. Just got to the mining facility for a pickup. Of 10k worth of beryl... lol
Then ill be heading to loriville. Why?
Well you should be okay landing at the main spaceport, it's a bit tricky. Just wondering if you were going for the surface entrance that's all.
Nah. Main hangars
Lorville surface entrance quick take: I did all this testing with my alt account but half the sceenshots didn't take. Anyway you're looking for the Perimeter Line and Gate 6. More later...
Where do you sell cargo at loriville?
is there any incentive to cargo running in a small group as opposed to solo other than security? The server shares commoditys correct? Also can other people in the group purchase and sell from my ship or is cargo exclusive to the ships owner?
Nvm found it.
Last I heard only you can sell your own cargo
And I’m not sure you can buy with people on your ship
cool thanks for the response
Is there any better cargo runs than beryl SMO-10>Loriville?
Or, better runs for the c2 that is
Hi, any idea how much Hull C will cost after release in 3.20?
Can't tell. Any price we can give you is pure speculation
i don't mind speculations 🙂
its initial concept was 200, id say 350-400
its already 350
so yeah, 350-400, it might rise slightly but not too much or they will take massive backlash
👍 thanks for your opinion
limited use at the moment due to needing a docking collar tbh
and its sheer capacity will ruin the economy
it probably will dock, the real problem is there is nothing to buy at stations atm
i hope cig will rebalance commodity distribution in 3.20 too
my point exactly, the most profitable resorces are ground based... making the hull C kinda pointless. its a system to system hauler really, designed for much larger economies
we lack the resources and economy to properly support something that size right now
probably will be useless for some time (as Reclaimer was) until Pyro
agreed
i hope they will leave C2 as a loaner until it will be useful
unlikely. if you own the ship and its flyable, you'll be granted said ship and the loaner will be taken away from you
there was some exceptions in the past
was there?
didnt know that
i had a useless reclaimer for years sitting in my hangar lol
yeah, it wasn't. never mind. lol
Anyone have success with gun rack on their Cat? When I do the repair I pay they cost of my rifle but it dosent spawn back for me in the rack
I think the Hull C will be like a temporary storage for your cargo, you don't buy cargo on land with the Hull C. You use other ships for that then transfer it to the Hull C using cargo decks. Once the Hull C is loaded, you ship to other systems with higher price then dock to a station with a cargo deck, then transfer to another ship like the Herc to sell the cargo.
then maybe there will be kiosks in the cargo decks much like the refinery kiosks where you can set work orders for transferring cargo in/out of the Hull C.
Anyone have ERT unlock? I’ll pay handsomely (5 mil)
That would be nice. I hope Cargo decks will finally find any usage
guns are tossed around in section 1 on claim, rack is bugged
Is cargo hauling viable w a cutlass black?
yes
not legal
Someone said the other day that there's a contract you can take which puts a marker on Jumptown on Yela. If so, what contract would that be? I'm not good at locating Jumptown yet and still need a bit of help.
Anyone have ERT unlock? I’ll pay handsomely (5 mil)
Anybody know good drug running routes? I am using a Corsair
just visit all the places there is no 'good route'
because the quantity is always low
and where would be the best place to sell?
whichever one is closest
?
why are you asking questions if youre not going to listen to the answer
all drug sell points pay the same
but some places sell the same stuff
dont sell to a drug den that also happens to want neon or something
sell at the salvage yards
k
There was or is a maintenance mission for a vice or drug lab. This will be a Jumptown site with a marker.
can i actually use drake mule to move 1scu boxes? in reclaimer for example
How should i upgrade my c2 for better travel? Or is that question better posed somewhere else?
Ts2 drive
If I have Quartz, Tungsten and Iron. Where would I go to sell those? I've tried the TDD at NBB, Brio's Breaker Yard and Port Olisar and It's all locked. (I'm aware it's under the "Cannot sell" catagory)
You have to go to one of the local moons and buy stuff then to nbis
Are these refined mining ores or crated stuff?
Crated stuff from Salvage Cargo
Did anyone help you?
I did it Solo
Since you only have 3 restack them to grid store ship and try again at a tdd.
Select each item also when trying to sell
Ok Ill do that then try. Thank you!
Let us know what happens if you can
I've re-stacked em now, headed to a TDD now
Was able to sell Quartz and Tungsten at the Hurston TDD. Iron still cannot sell. So It's location dependant?
I'm new to the game and to Cargo/Salvage Cardo and Trading
anyone US servers?
i havent really been keeping up with news so I apologize but is there anything coming in 3.20 that will make the hull c viable
Mining Calculator, Trade, Prices, Risks, Profitability, Mass to SCU Converter, Ships List, SCU, Prices and more
Rogue: It's pretty tricky learning what item gets sold at what place. You need to look over the main trade sites on Google search at the above for Iron, then Trade Tools and Gallog. There's Trade items, Commodities, Vices and Harvestables. We can help you but study these sites along the way.
It's all guesses at this point, but I'm guessing there will be some very low profit commodities in huge quantities which will be kind of Taylor made for the Hull C.
Alternately or in addition, CIG may choose make special huge bulk trading contracts which have built-in danger/costs.
Yea, survive a guantlet of Retaliators and get a 100K bonus.
I greatly appreciate you sharing this. I really enjoy the Cargo runs whether salvage or just running medicine. This will help a lot!
thank you and even if its not "useful" on release itll still be fun to fly
LOL! Hopefully not that bad but a few basic npc prirates which would necessitate a full crew and/or escorts depending on the value of the load.
Is the Hull C going to have a bay that might hold a couple Furies? How cool would that be if so!
Basically, I don't thing CIG is going to make it easy for single players to fly a mega loads of our current commodities and make millions on each load. I think they'll find ways to make it a hard requirement that it's crewed by more than one player to be successful.
I think the best thing would be to have contracts where the players are not risking their own money to load the entire Hull C with cargo, and is getting a lesser cut of the profit because of that. That way the hauling contracts become more about protecting cargo and maintaining rep ... kind of like much fancier bounties contracts. Cargo escort contracts.
I would go for that!
There've been very few space games which have pulled off good escort missions and none have ever done it well in multi-player. Well, EVE online maybe but it's too different. For me, that's like the next step past and our current service beacons and bounty missions!
Not only that, they could eventually tie in pirate missions which could be taken against the shipping contracts. That would have to come after server meshing though because right now there's not enough players on one server to really do it justice.
So if I'm in Crusader that would probably end up being the one on Yela? The original one is the only one which doesn't have a marker right? I'll try and see. Update: Can't find a mission like that in Maintenance: just a scrap removal contract.
I just need a contract which puts a marker on Jumptown until I can get good at finding it without one.
what are some good trade routes I can run with a Carrack?
I need about 15M to get a Reclaimer in game so I need some high profit routes
Trade routes don't make a ton, but checkout: https://sc-trade.tools/trade-routes?q=%257B%2522ship%2522:%2522Carrack%2522,%2522investment%2522:3000000,%2522profitType%2522:%2522pure%2522,%2522itemTypes%2522:%255B%255D,%2522itemNames%2522:%255B%255D,%2522locationTypes%2522:%255B%255D,%2522locationNames%2522:%255B%2522Stanton%2520%253E%2520Crusader%2522%255D,%2522locationNamesType%2522:%2522whitelist%2522%257D
The routs with Beryl are way hard to fully stock. The ones with Distilled Spirits are fairly easy to stock at times. Quarts is usually easy. I need to test Medical supplies again.
HOWEVER, if the Ninetails Lockdown event comes back around at some point, that's your somewhat more risky why to make some serious cash hauling!
Hey JT is running right now. You can use it to get an idea of the area. As far as I know none of them have markers. With 2 people it might be easier to figure something out. That's what I did last night for the Lorville surface entrance summary. Ninetails is great I average about 3 million in profits.
I think its like actually near impossible for a Carrack or C2 with a TS2 to go down
The charge speed is so insnaley fast and even an eclipse can't one shot either iirc
defo flying with escorts to 9T regardless though

Comment trouver Jumptown, Paradise Cove et Ravens Roost - Pirate ProTips - Star Citizen 3.18 [ FR ]
#baronofmoork #starcitizenfr #starcitizenpirateguide #starcitizenjumptown #starcitizendruglablocations
Salut à tous,
Nouveau guide de Pirate ProTips dans laquelle je vous montre comment trouver et vous rendre aux trois labos de drogues caché...
The mission is "Re-Supply Up" for Jumptown...QT marker.
DO THESE DO THESE DO THESE...https://youtu.be/5ustglFRA-o
On my first night of running these missions I earned almost 2,000,000 aUEC, 2nd night in one hour I earned just over 300,000 aUEC. No salvaging required, just bring a ship with some cargo space. Scoope cargo from Freelancers, Cutlasses and Constellations. Avoid the 30,000 aUEC contracts, I've tried five, all were 100% empty.
@6:44 - Identify...
Yeah, I've done JTs before but oddly never at the original Jumptown. Didn't know if the other sites were non-marked when JT was not running. Not a bit worried about torp bombers. Moe worried about A2s, ground combat, and getting you ship jacked when it comes to JT.
Looks fun but very very RNG. How long is the trespass timer on the ships?
Heyy, thanks for sharing my video! @delicate girder it is VERY RNG, I've had 20+ missions in a row strike out. The trespass timer is 30 minutes, I'm usually there, scanned and gone within 3-6 minutes. Someone noticed if you find good cargo you can QT to an OM marker and back and the same cargo will respawn. I've heard they recently nerfed these cargo spawn rates but I haven't heard any confirmation on that.
One thing I noticed when I accidentally knocked a Freelancer salvage wreck out of the trespass zone is that the contract will stay around forever. It's probably not useful, but it's interesting.
Apparently, the 3.19.1 patch is going to add random cargo to wrecks from bounties and other sources too.
awesome
i feel that salvage missions right now arent the best for getting cargo
ive ran about 6 of em and ive only made around 10k
Anyone know the best trade route for legal activity? want it to fill up an Aquila
I didn’t think that was accurate thabks
I tried a 10 k one this morning and other security showed up early and I got a crimestat fighting back lol. Never did get a V scan of the ship. Next time my Retaliator gets involved.
Just look at these guides for Beryl and pick a route.
ugh. lost my beryl load in taurus.. wind on ita threw me down the steps. and killed me. should've tried med beacon. bleh. Be careful exiting building on ita!
always crouch on stairs in outposts
I lost little over 2mill from me glitching out of my c2 during Quant and a server glitch with the crusader when my ship landed and I store my ship since the elevators were not working half my cargo glitches off my ship as being stored.
I would have over 5 mill to save up for a mole but I can't catch a brake.
It actually does not harm you, after like 30 sec you wake up all good.
Hello Moon! I subscribed to your channel and tried a 10K salvage mission 2 days ago mainly to check into this mystery crate process. Well there were no crates on that Connie but the snub ship looked pretty cool. Anyway I will try some of the higher tier ones have you tried the 150 K mission? I think if a couple of people teamed up on it especially to fight off the NPC ships it might be rewarding. Thanks for dropping in here!
Today I had an "Unknown" storage result at Lorville that said I had to claim the ship. It had $279,000 K of Beryl in a F Max. I thought it was lost but I came back 5 hours later and it seemed safely stored and I was able to sell it a few minutes later. But here's a short guide to the garage entrance at Lorville if you don't trust the terminals.
GUIDE TO THE GATE 6 GARAGE ENTRANCE AT LORVILLE
FOR SELLING TRADE GOODS OR PICKING UP A ROC
First off get centered over the actual Tesea Spaceport at 4,580 meters in altitude.
Point the front/bow of the ship at the big sloping building.
Turn the ship to your left 45 degrees.
Go straight forward 14 to 15 kilometers
Slowly drop down and look for a medium sized free standing building
that has a white strobe on top. The strobe blinks every second.
It will say “Gate 6” on the front facing away from the city.
Look for the twin ramps and land and go in the center doors.
Let me show you one my my favorite trade routes in Star Citizen 3.19! You will make money fast in Star Citizen 3.19 with this handy 2023 trading guide. With this route you can average 500k or more per trip if you own a C2! In this Star Citizen 2023 trading guide I do two trips. Will I make a Million aUEC?? Let's find out!
🛑 Use code STAR-RV3B-4...
Whatever that trade route is (haven't watched yet), it's toast now.
it's mainly beryl from SMO-10 to Orison
not my fault 🙂 i didn't make the youtube post
He could of picked up Beryl on Daymar and took it to New Babbage or even back to Orison. I never pick up Scrap, Waste or Distilled Spirits on my ships.
I’m working towards getting a C2, hopefully will hit a Million and a half aUec today, big for me but got a ways to go
Why I'm careful about mentioning my specific trade routes if I find one.
Why no spirits?
Also how often do prices change in game?
Like is, for example Diamonds, always going to be 4,302/unit sell?
Or could it change daily/weekly/monthly. I’ve never really paid attention to that
it is manually done by someone at CIG currently.
If a major trade route is being swamped though, in they go and tweak the numbers
Just never messed around with the lower tier trade items.
don't do the orison route - there is no demand there. Someone at Cig turned off the demand there, no doubt.
smo10 had a ton when I was there earlier.
yeah that wasnt the question though they both often have a lot
then google it, I gave you the answer I knew. That smo10 had a bunch.
Refresh rates are all the same
no theyre not
intervals, yes.
it’d be nice if they slightly increase the amount of gold available, not saying all the scu in the world cause then it’d be broken but something other than fighting for one box every 10 minutes
butthurt because you didnt answer the question asked then are also wrong 
lol, gg to you. Go find out yourself then.
hey
can anyone recommend any decent trade routes to maximise profit
im using the caterpillar and i have 800k to buy commodities with
While I’m hesitant to give out my routing I use, I will say that I use uexcorp.space/trade for pricing and good trade
@solid creek http://uexcorp.space/trade
Mining Calculator, Trade, Prices, Risks, Profitability, Mass to SCU Converter, Ships List, SCU, Prices and more
tyty
The pricing on this site uses current 3.19 prices so you get an accurate idea of how much you’ll make
lovely
cheers o7
@solid creek No problem! And a pro tip, instead of doing just one back and forth route, try to string multiple different routes together with shorter repositions between. It’s what I do and I can make ~1 million auec a day
I try to limit the number of empty trips I make
where can i sell cargo i found in the wild?
idk whats inside
anyone know wtf is this?
wow thanks
!fit
If I found some cargo in the abandoned ship of another player where can I go to sell it since it doesn't belong to me?
Would any drug selling terminal buy it off me since it's like a black market terminal?
yes
is there a ship fitment index?
Hey
I had a caterpillar full of beryl and I got a 30k
How can I get my ship back with my cargo
it gets moved to your home residence usually.
then get the bot updated then
cheers man
im just updating the game now then i will check
will all the cargo save
if the protection worked okay
ight
cheers
Give it 10mins before you relog
i got the 30k last night
got mad and left it until now
they were applying hotfix to the servers over the last 12 hours or so,
so it may have just been a restart to apply the patch
well 30k is just connection lost
it takes time after that for it to actually timeout
and the client stops trying to reestablish
the chat is a separate connection
ahh ok
imma just check to see if the protection worked
so you can still send chat messages for a bit.
i cant even lie
this game always confuses me
r_DisplayInfo 2 has BwIn and BwOut values, BwIn is Bandwidth of the data being sent to you from server.
that'll hit 0 a bit before the game actually throws up the 30k.
but as I said, the game can in theory re-establish connection.
a lot of people say 30k at slightest lag too
true dat
it isn't reliable that method
my caterpillar is stored at loreville
gonna go get it and hopefully get my cargo back
also 30k is just connection lost, that can be the cat pulled out ethernet cable, the ISP is routing badly, datacenter is routing badly....
all before we get to server actually crashed.
welp, jsut lost a c2 full of berryl because orison decided to destroy it instead of store it.. went from 1.3 somethin mill uec to 112 >.<
yep... I've been avoiding orison of late...
been goodd all night.
ive had it happene everywehre.
it can happen a few stations too
every planet has done it to me at least once this patch
ill jsut hang around ports and salvage noobs and ai that crashed till i get a full vulture tadn thats enought o start trading again
I make a habit of stopping at the space stations before landing at the major stations in the event that happens. Like if I’m doing a cross-verse shipment of a mil auec I’ll land at Port Olisar, log out, back in, then land at Orison
Only when I move huge amounts though
