where to sell weevil eggs

[spare cloud]

In any scrap yard

[solid creek]

damn
any stations

[spare cloud]

No

Maybe the no questions asked terminals, but I think not

[solid creek]

ight tyty

[blissful kernel]

where in a refinery station can i sell waste? i loaded up on it to see how the cargo decks are laid out

[spare cloud]

Should be upstairs in the refinery. Above the mining tools shop

[blissful kernel]

huh, thanks, i don't see where. i see the ore sales and refinery terminals

[spare cloud]

Below then ?

[blissful kernel]

checked there too, maybe they just don't want my literal waste lol. might just claim the ole ship 🙂

[unborn wave]

Scrap yards like brios on daymar have more demand for drugs. Be aware there is no armistice zone at scrapyards

[delicate girder]

Anyone else doing looting have a situation where they stack everything on the grid of a C2 (fir instance) then sell everything and still have a bunch of the cargo grid taken up (marked with a red X as blocked / unusable) by nothing? I just did that and had 128 SCU still taken up after I sold everything I looked to make sure there wasn't any off grid SCUs and visually there weren't. I had no vehicles in the ship.

[idle anvil]

I have, yeah, but always with something else in the bay - albeit not on the grid. You can still put stuff on the grid manually, but idk about buying stuff.

[unborn wave]

I get the random small box of cargo that you cant pull off grid and terminal says i sold everything. Have to claim ship to fix

[silent inlet]

so what should i be hauling in the c2, i been doing titanium and laramite, with some med supplies and alchohol, am i doing it right or is there a better route

[delicate girder]

Do Beryl runs from MT to Cru. Get a TS-2 QT drive if you haven't already.

[silent inlet]

whats that net per hour

i done upgraded the c2 with everything

[delicate girder]

I never do it for an hour at a time. I just do it once in a while, but it gives ~400k ish per run.

You can also just to Beryl runs from MT to MT but it doesn't make as much. You can do them much quicker though. You can also add gold to it for added profit.

[heady remnant]

could anyone give me a loadout for a solo mole?

[idle anvil]

you missed #rock-and-stone

[heady remnant]

agh sorrie

oh it was hidden for me

[lusty dew]

hey what is a popular trade route for small/medium cargo?

[spare cloud]

Drugs are great for small cargo ships. You won't make a lot with lawful cargo

[short tapir]

At the current state of the Game and Trading, with a C2 fully loaded, what profit can you expect in return ? just as an "ish" (before i buy the c2)

[spare cloud]

1.2mil with high risks and quite a lot of waiting time on Gold route.
Or 350k with low risk and no waiting time with Beryl route.
You should be able to do multiple beryl runs by the time you do one gold

[short tapir]

Edit I re read it: The waiting time is for the gold to respawn?
and whats the high risk? pirates or?

[drowsy rune]

Gold worth more so more risk. Not sure the actual numbers but its goona take like 3-4 million in cargo to make that 1.2 million with gold, where as you are probably only risking 600k with beryl or something. But yea its if someone sees you flying a c2 and decides they want your cargo and shoot you down. Or you crash for some reason

[short tapir]

arh yeah thats true

[spare cloud]

Pirates,
Game crashes,
Server crashes, 30k recovery should apply but sometimes (rarely) doesn't work

You're investing 1.2 mil with beryl, and 5 mils with gold

Beryl is overall better IMO

[drowsy rune]

Yea buying 4mill in gold, and selling for 5.2mill. A lot bigger investment to lose if something goes wrong

[spare cloud]

Also, yeah, waiting time is for gold to restock.

[short tapir]

Right thank you, seems like the best way to earn money right now is salvaging around 1.3 mill for 1 salvaged ship in the reclaimer

[drowsy rune]

I was making 400-450k an hour in the vulture salvaging.

[short tapir]

not bad

[spare cloud]

I make 30 millions in 30 minutes with my A2

Could've made 50mils instead but forgot about JT trick

[drowsy rune]

JT that good?

Ive been meaning to grind the bounties to ert but always find something else to do instead lol

[rich python]

Sure

[spare cloud]

I didn't make this from JT. I made this from ERT bounties. Found 376 SCU of Maze, that I sold for 33 mils.

But when JT is on, if you find Maze, instead of selling it to scrap yards or GrimHEX for 90k/SCU, you can bring it to the UEE for 150k/SCU. This way I would have made 56mils

[drowsy rune]

What ship do you use for erts

[spare cloud]

A2

[short tapir]

wait how did you manage that 😮 (the 30 mill in 30 min)

[spare cloud]

Like this

[short tapir]

Oh nice so you where lucky finding a good one! AWESOME

[spare cloud]

This really shows how artificially reduced are the M2 and A2 grids. Interior space is the exact same as C2 for the M2, and just a little less for the A2 because of bombs

[short tapir]

Wouldnt it be optimal to bring a C2 and A2(for the combat part) for ERTS? more storage If you got a friend. (rookie question)

since there is such a big difference between a2 and c2

[spare cloud]

Half the money with a friend

[short tapir]

thats true.

[spare cloud]

Like I just said, A2 grid is artificially lowered. You can fit almost as much as the C2 inside an A2.

The A2 gets the advantage of the gunner seats if you want friends, but also the advantage of the bombs.

When you arrive at the scrap yard, whether there's someone or not, you bomb the area, and make sure it's clear for you to land

[short tapir]

yeah i heard the bombs are great if you suspect someone waiting for you at the drop off and you want to make sure they dont kill you lol

[spare cloud]

That's really practical and saved my life and cargo many times already

[short tapir]

does it give you a crime stat doing that?

[spare cloud]

If they press charges yeah. Killing a player doesn't immediately give CS. The killed player is first asked if they want to press charges against you

Which they often don't because the time window to do so is so short lmao

[short tapir]

Arh, i kinda feel like it should be remade (like how does they know you are the killer and not someone else xD ) but yeah better safe than sorry 😄

and who dosnt love a big explosion

[spare cloud]

You don't have to know who killed you to press charges against em. It tells you who they are

Unless comm array was down, of course

[short tapir]

Yeah i just realized the comms array is basically monitoring all of our activites 😂 and thats why they know when we kill someone (i totally forgot about that)

[drowsy rune]

Does anyone run an m2? Is there a point?

[spare cloud]

It's useless IMO

[drowsy rune]

That's what i thought lol, just wanted to make sure

[graceful garnet]

M2 currently has no upsides, because it's just supposed to be an up-armoured C2 with an extra chin turret, but armour is not modelled properly in-game yet

it's meant to be the main military/UEE cargo ship to transport vehicles and large amounts of supplies

@rich python Can you pin again please ? ❤️

Classic skill issue from me

[fast ember]

i didnt realise aurora even had cargo space lol

[graceful garnet]

it has a lil' butt grid

which was made before the SCU container metrics were finalised so now it sits too low for you to put containers on it while it's landed lol

[fast ember]

im only just getting into trading in this game cos im relatively new so im constantly learning new stuff haha

[novel harness]

how much is 1 SCU of eggs worth?

no website tells

[true sierra]

i think around 110k?

maybe a bit more, but around there somewhere

[novel harness]

per one scu?

[true sierra]

Correct

[novel harness]

damn i didnt think its that much

[true sierra]

It's why ERTs are so profitable at the moment.

[novel harness]

i mean maze is good too

[true sierra]

exactly. Sometimes I'll only look for big drops in eggs and/or maze to get a big payday

[novel harness]

yeah, just made 22 mil from maze and a bit of egg

[true sierra]

lol yep...it's a bit outrageous, but enjoy it while it lasts

[fast ember]

where is best to buy from and where to sell to

[true sierra]

depends what you mean by best

[fast ember]

where can i buy cheapest and sell most valuable

gold or something

[true sierra]

There's a few options out there right now. Gold being one of the more popular ones. However it could be hard to find it in stock at times

sc-trade.tools and uexcorp.space offer tools to help find some good routes and commodities to trade for

[fast ember]

thanks, sc trade tools seems very useful

[spare cloud]

Gold, beryl or drugs (vice)

[spare cloud]

Yeah it's the best tool
Try setting routes for one of the commodities I listed using it 👍

I recommend running drugs if you have less than 120SCU of space

[sturdy pasture]

Regarding the Hull C, has anyone had success selling at the stations and if so which ones?

[dusty oracle]

I’m curious to know in 3.19 you could pull the aurora CL cargo pod off and place it on any other aurora but will it persist after claiming the ship or just for the life of that aurora until next claim?

[hollow sedge]

Do you guys think the c1 is worth the purchase for some cargo running ?

[spare cloud]

Meh

[iron rune]

@dusty oracle I don't think it does anything better than its competitors.

In its size class, I'd take the freelancer MAX since it has more cargo space and a turret gunner seat.

If you must have the rear tractor beam, the cutlass black loses some cargo space but gains much more pilot firepower and a turret gunner seat.

That all said, the c1 is definitely a cool ship and it feels much more modern.

If you're trying to make some credits cargo hauling, most people would recommend you go up to the constellation Taurus. The top of the pack right now is the Hercules C2

[fickle dune]

What sub board would Delivery Missions fall under? Trying to figure something out about shipping error - QT sensitive cargo missions

NM. I found my answer. looks like there are a bunch of bug reports on it

[fathom mortar]

Just bought my Caterpillar. It's my favorite ship so that is why I picked it over the C2. I was wondering what type of upgrades y'all feel are mandatory. It seems a lot of fittings have a specific best in slot and everything else is a 1% "this or that" difference. It can be confusing to a new player like myself. I plan on using it in group play but if I could set it up to somehow handle lower level combat contracts and loot the drugs they had then that would be even better. (If this is not plausible then I understand). Any help would be appreciated.

[mental bobcat]

Erkul.games is a good place to fiddle with the components to find out what works.

[drifting cave]

You understood the gist. Outside of guns and quantum drive which tend to have a specific "This is the best gun", everything else is down to either "The stock one is fine" or "Pick the one with the biggest number."

[spare cloud]

I disagree with that. The extra HP from upgraded shields are a very good help, especially for a defenseless ship like a solo caterpillar

[drifting cave]

Generally, this applies for any ship but you want

• Fastest quantum drive that can still do Crusader-Microtech
• Highest-HP Military shields (Or civilian if you don't care about distortion resist)
• Guns are repeaters or laser cannons for PVE, with S4 and up opening the door to AD4B/AD5B. Size 5 repeaters are bad either use laser cannons or put a gimbal. Ballistic cannons are a fun if low-ammo alternative

[spare cloud]

Also, cat guns don't necessarly need to be upgraded

[drifting cave]

The stock caterpillar loadout is all repeaters which is very functional

[spare cloud]

Stock loadout is all laser cannons

[drifting cave]

oh right.

It's laser cannons and rhinos on the turrets.

[fathom mortar]

This is what I was thinking of getting.

https://www.erkul.games/loadout/Ll578DpH

That's alright but if you wanna keep discussing it move to #flight-combat-racing

[fathom mortar]

I apologize. I thought this was a good place. ❤️

[hollow sedge]

C2 or reclaimer :0

?

[opaque wren]

Depends c2 is more for cargo and hauling the reclaimer is more salvage and doing that game play loop so it depends on what you want to do and what your more interested in

[drifting cave]

^ They're two ships that do completely different things, they're not comparable.

[hollow sedge]

very true just worried that the salvage game play loop might be nerfed when it comes to money making becauyse it is very very lucrative rn

[drifting cave]

It's 100% getting nerfed at some point

[hollow sedge]

But i do think cargo hauling has been a decent money make for a pretty long time now

[drifting cave]

FWIW C2 also enables you to do ERTs if you're into that.

[hollow sedge]

very true

[unborn wave]

C2 ERTs are very profitable

[drifting cave]

I think C2 ERTs are both more fun and just as profitable as salvage atm so I go for the one that's actually interesting

[unborn wave]

Its definitely quicker, running AD5Bs on the C2 i take out all targets in like a minute.

Then the rest of the time im neatly stacking the cargo

[drifting cave]

I run lasers because i hate restocking but yeah AD5Bs shred

plus there's the added lootbox aspect of cracking open a cargo ship hoping for valuables

[unborn wave]

Only takes a second to touch a pad and restock

[drifting cave]

I'm lazyyyyy

[unborn wave]

Yea when you see weevil eggs pop up on the scanner and you know your making big bucks

[rugged raptor]

How long does it usually take for salvage centers to reset demand? I've heard couple minutes to 20 mins. Any exact approximations?

[spare cloud]

Scrap yards ? It's about 15-20 minutes yeah.
But depending on the moment you arrive, it might refresh in 30 seconds, or 10 minutes, or 20.

[rugged raptor]

Yeah I meant scrap yards mb.

I will keep that in mind, thanks!

[frigid elbow]

is this the part of the Hull-C trading that is broken at times?...

[tender gazelle]

+docking with the hull C, yup

wish the next update[3.23] would drop already lol

[finite jungle]

Is selling Maze from salvage missions still a good way to make money?

[tender gazelle]

maze and weevil eggs are the top paying community other then the EXTREMELY RARE Janalite

[dusty oracle]

so with the Hull C can you only buy cargo from space stations and sell to space stations?

[frigid elbow]

yes

though.. I would wait until the next patch. unless you don't care about losing money

[dusty oracle]

is a big wipe coming?

[frigid elbow]

not until 4.0

so likely summer

thats the expected next wipe anyway

[dusty oracle]

ok figured that

[graceful kiln]

a Wipe prior to any significant economy changes will accomplish little more than to annoy most of the playerbase IMO

especially with new ships, weapons, and so on coming out that need testing. All that requires aUEC to be tested, so let folks have their fortunes

[toxic lichen]

how long until mining facilites restock gold?

[fathom mortar]

I tried googling it yesterday and think it's like 40 units every 7/8 minutes... but that's all the info I found.

[toxic lichen]

i have a full cargo hold of gold in the freelancer max and im' trying to sell it at orisoin but when i land the terminal doesnt let me store it, it only says claim at the place i bought the gold and the tdd terminal doesnt show the freelancer tf do i do

[robust violet]

hey, why cant i sell these?

[spare cloud]

Containers labelled with "(ore)" cannot be sold. Anywhere.
For some reason they decided to make this a thing but

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[robust violet]

ok so if i get more containers with ores, i just need to throw them out?

[spare cloud]

Yup

[robust violet]

aight ty for answering

[mental bobcat]

Or take them to a refinery. You can sell ore there or have it refined. You then sell it as normal once refined.
This is part of the mining loop but drifts into cargo handling as sometimes you come across ore.

[spare cloud]

These can't be sold to refineries either, since for now they only buy from actual mining ships

[mental bobcat]

Good to know

[sonic fiber]

Freelancer is best value

Max

[frank blade]

so seeing as they over-nerfed ERT's im assuming salvaging is the current best ratio of $ per hour?

[idle anvil]

over nerfed? you realize just how much you could make from it when doing it right, don't you?

you can still make ludicrous amount of money from it and have fun with the game's combat system. disintegrating a ship in two clicks is quite boring by comparison.

[finite jungle]

What’s the Best place to get risky cargo like maze?

[frank blade]

yes but i was making stupid money but they modified the loot tables for ERT's over the last few days it seems, so now its about a few hundred k per ert now

[unborn wave]

Idk i still make a few mil per ERT

[fringe kettle]

I'd say the Constellation Tarus is the best overall, as it has the best chances if it gets trapped by pirates(still not good, but better than most other options) while still holding a fairly sizable amount of cargo. For max planetside capacity, the C2 is still king though.

[winter steeple]

Is drug running profitable in a cutlass black or freelancer max, or is it not worth while without a larger cargo capacity.

[iron rune]

It's profitable!

[spare cloud]

Drug running is not worth with a larger cargo capacity.
Anything bigger than 120 SCU you're gonna spend a very long time at the trade terminal waiting for supply to go up.

[delicate girder]

Single SCUs of Construction Materials seem to be an "Unregistered Item" (and don't sell) when selling at any admin office (not sellable at TDD). Anyone else find a way to sell Construction Materials?

[drowsy kettle]

hey guys ive got a question, i heard that bounty cargo got nerfed and was wondering if its worth it to farm ert bounties, ive already got vhrt bounties

[spare cloud]

It is. RNG was nerfed, meaning valuable cargo are rarer, but there are still plenty of cargo

[drowsy kettle]

damn my friend got the reclaimer and no matter what i try nothing seems to make even remotly the same amount of money

[spare cloud]

VHRTs are much worse than ERTs

[drowsy kettle]

lets hope, il spend another couple hours farming for erts hopefully they are good, i did like 7 vhrt and only got a small crate of weevle eggs

[delicate sigil]

Do scrap yards and NQA terminals share the same inventory? Or could I sell a bunch of eggs at a scrapyard and then go to a NQA and sell more?

In the same vein, do multiple scrapyards share inventory or are they separate

[spare cloud]

Every shop is unique and has its own inventory. Stocks are not shared between shops, but between servers of a same region.

So Brio's doesn't have the same stock as Samson, but it has the same stock on all of EU servers

[delicate sigil]

[tender gazelle]

[spare cloud]

Stealing cargo from bounty targets. That's why people run ERTs 👍

[spare cloud]

You can snap all type of containers on it, even ships iirc.
But 32 SCU containers will help avoid bugs

[mental bobcat]

Does the Hull C have the new type of grid in the PU? I thought that video shown at CitizenCon was an example of what grids would do in the future.

[elfin rune]

My issue its with the cargo transfer, docking works

[graceful kiln]

Specifically, docking works as well as it does for any other ship that docks, and has workarounds for just about all issues. The cargo loading on the other hand is finnicky, but ive yet to run into a situation where i didnt eventually get it to work

The real problem with the Hull C right now is that with margins the way they are, its a significa tly less profitable use of your time than just running a C2 full of Beryl from Ita to Hurston

[thick socket]

Ah

Thanks for letting me know!

[winter steeple]

I tried drug running from orphanage to Samson. The supply was extremely low, is this typical or is there a better place for this

[spare cloud]

Drug isn't meant for high volume. Typically Jumptown >> Brio's gives you 20 SCU or SLAM and 20 of WiDoW, plus about 70 SCU of Altruciatoxin.

[shut swallow]

Pretty typical as they're high value.

[spare cloud]

Yeah

Exaclty

[shut swallow]

Low supply, high demand (buy price)

[spare cloud]

So you pick up the 20 of slam and widow, you can wait a bit for 20 more of each, and that's it, fill the rest with altrucia, and go sell

[shut swallow]

If you want higher risk, higher reward then run RMC lol

[winter steeple]

Ok that makes sense I’ll try that, I was only getting like 5 scu. I’m down for rmc what is the best route?

[shut swallow]

Hurston has 2 working locations that I'm aware of atm. Pickers Field & Rappel. Sell at A18 TDD as it has the largest depot to buy at 50,000 scu vs 4,000 at other TDDs.

Full C2 is over 7m investment with over 2m in profits. If successful.

A third location may be fixed in next patch called Makers Point. Also a location all the way out in MicroTech. However these 2 locations will not allow you to select your ship to purchase last I heard.

[winter steeple]

I was curious about RMC I hear a lot of piracy is around these locations, but I’m willing to try for that profit. Thank you so much!

[shut swallow]

About as much as there is for drugs at salvage yards. Again, high risk/high reward. If there's red flags then don't let greed drown out the voice telling you something is off. Always be prepared.

But of course the highest paying commodity at the highest buy-in has people looking to transfer ownership 😆

For less risk, less reward I personally like to run Beryl from Ita to Lorville. Quick loop, decent credits.

[winter steeple]

Cargo running is just fun and relaxing, I really appreciate the info, I’m just hopping back in and haven’t played since 3.17. Just curious what game loops are fun and profitable now.

What locations are best for beryl

Best place to get consistent good stocks of Gold? I know the main ones but always empty

[untold acorn]

Hey so a few days ago I went for this route but when I arrived in "Brio's Breaker Yard" (I think it was there, not sure) I died because of a missile attack. I'm sure it wasn't a player and I would like to avoid getting destroyed like that... Do you have any tips for trading routes? and to avoid that?

[mossy palm]

Yeah, don't go to Brio's.

[chilly junco]

Brio's is the PvP hotspot in Crusader, and you very likely died to a player. Avoid salvage yards, SCD-1, SMO-18 and Rappel if you want a safe route

[wintry nimbus]

SMO-18 on MT has higher gold stock on renew and SCD-1 on Daymar has lower but also has beryl

[mental bobcat]

Salvage yards are extremely risky and Brios is the worst because it has a reputation and is well known.
When I'm flying drugs trading or liberated from bounties I avoid Brios and try the others. If I see ANY blue markers (player) I charge my QD. If they are military ships I get out of there. If it's a trade ship of some kind I land away and wait for them to leave before landing at the yard.

[untold acorn]

[ruby mango]

Guys the stock is alway so low and idk what do to

[bright tinsel]

For what commodity

[hollow sedge]

whats the best cargo ship other than the c2

[bright tinsel]

Large runs always go C2 or Hull C but not big profit margins on the Hull. Best mid range id say is connie Taurus

[frigid crown]

I second the Taurus. I have mine upgraded completely with coolers, QD, shields, powerplants, etc. And very rarely will you have enough stock to max out the cargo bay anyways. So I vary routes between mining facilities and sell on Area18. Have the M2 but waiting for 522scu just seems wasteful since the last time I had a full load of Gold was after waiting an hour checking the Terminal.

I find the Microtech route from the SMO-18 to New Babbage is one of the most profitable for the time invested.

[hollow sedge]

how much is the taurus in game if u know ?

@frigid crown thats what i was thinking also. If i bought a c2 how often would i even be able to fill it all

[vestal ravine]

Beryl will fill it unlike Gold. Other mid-range trade items can fill it but Med Supplies probably not. But you always can hit a few spots, store the ship till next gaming session, fill some more and go sell. A C2 Beryl run from MT to Orison is a 440K profit. But you need 1.5 million to buy that much. If you get pirated you are screwed.

it costs 7.6m to fill up and when you sell you make about 2m profit each run

[light sinew]

Hey citizens, anyone able to walk me thru a beginner friendly route. Dont need to make millions or anything. Just something for me to dip my toes into the loop?

[chilly junco]

If you're in something smaller than a C2 and/or don't have a lot of overhead maybe try running Beryl, Diamond or Laranite on some of the less traveled routes without a lot of supply. SC Trade Tools is a great resource for beginning haulers

[light sinew]

Thanks dude

What is a good thing to haul in a c2 for the most profit

[spare cloud]

RMC, but it's a huge investment and risky

[wintry nimbus]

try gold and beryl

[north oyster]

Beryl from Ita to Lorville is the most consistent, good pay short haul. Normally just under 300K aUEC profit per run.
I normally hit Woodruff

[untold acorn]

Hey, is Shubin Mining Facility SCD-1 a safe place to go buy things? or am I getting killed?

[dire plank]

It’s an armistice zone

But I’ve been shot at by folks from outside of it

[untold acorn]

okay thanks

[royal wagon]

If I can fill up both catipillar and Connie Taurus which is better for cargo runs with gold I'm just wondering if something smaller and faster might be more efficient over time other than tons of cargo all at once

Cat just takes forever to leave atmosphere

[graceful kiln]

well

Cat has twice the cargo hold, yet it doesn't take twice as long to do a trip (despite feeling that much slower)

thing is with Gold, you're rarely going to be able to fill either hold in one trip, so the smaller is probably better

or, just go run Beryl

[royal wagon]

I usually do server hopping to fill cargo

Not sure how that adds too efficiency

[graceful kiln]

sounds like a huge pain in the ass to me. Beryl might not give quite the same level of profit, but it's EZ-PZ, and still 300k per run, for the shortest run

https://sc-trade.tools/home

get familiar with that site, and all the information it has available to you

best way to do that is to read, and to click around on it. The answer to almost every question you could ask can be found there

it's not a bad idea, but mining-related questions have their own channel for it, and you'll get better answers there

probably the 'easier' option, to the slow trickle of income Trading can be, with small ships

[wet barn]

Is there a TDD on Lorville? Or somewhere else other than Admin that you can buy or sell things there?

[graceful kiln]

there is a TDD at Lorville. There's one at all the major cities

it's at its own tram station

C1, though not yet buyable ingame. Can't go wrong with a Freelancer too. Good middle step is Connie Taurus

[wet barn]

The place with the statues?

[graceful kiln]

I think so? The biiiig bladerunner building

from the trams, its on the left

I mean... you can't buy it ingame, only pledge store at the moment. Thought that was fairly clear, heh

anyway. Pretty sure there's freelancers in that budget, they have decent holds. Either vanilla or Max

dunno what the Connie Taurus goes for

but it's a good choice

which? There's only one ship vendor at each major city so it's pretty straight forward

and to find out, all you gotta do is exactly what I'd do to give you the answer - google search, lol

not that I'm trying to brush you off, but I'm on my phone and you could probably google it faster than I could, the wiki runs like shit on my phone browser

[wet barn]

Thanks for the help!

[graceful kiln]

np!

you need money for the cargo. No contracts (yet)

[random marsh]

Oh, there will be cargo quests?

You just made my year if there Will be, thought the only cargo Gameplay that Will exist would be buying materials from point a and bring It to point b

[wet barn]

Where can I find the terminal "No Questions asked" or something I think it's called? It's at a space station and hidden within a construct area on the station and your able to sell illegal things on it I believe

[tardy umbra]

One at Cru-L4 in the locker room, and one at Cru-L5 in a construction area beyond the locker room, I think both are in the Galleria

Cru-L4 buys a lot more than L5 does

not volume, but variety

[wet barn]

@tardy umbra Thank you! I was about to head to all the L points near crusader lol. I also didn't know there was two of them, that helps a lot lol

[wet barn]

Anyone know where I can sell Illegal or unregistered Construction Material? Found a lot outside of grim hex but can't find a place to sell it.

[strange nimbus]

Hey, how long does it take Shubin SCD-1 to tic?

[dusty oracle]

So if Cargo is gonna become physicalized to where TDD dont just fill your hold with cargo how are the Hull ships gonna be loaded because the hanger elevators make sense but the hulls cant land and load cargo int he hangers they dock to spacestations..

[spare cloud]

Hull C already loads in stations, same gonna happen for bigger ones, with cargo being transferred here.
Hull A and B can land with cargo, but not sure if the B gonna fit the assigned hangars with the spine deployed, but if not that's an easy fix for the Hull B to be loaded directly in hangars 🤷

[wet barn]

For those who have had the issues of "illegal or unregistered" cargo (i.e. construction material), there is a way to sell it. You need to be at a station that has demand for the product your trying to sell, then you much click along the edge of the right side of the button of the cargo your trying to sell. Literally along the bored. Somewhere between the half way and top specifically. Eventually you will find the spot that works and you'd be able to sell the items as intended. This shouldn't be a long process either. Just not as simple as normal. Hope this helps!

[wintry nimbus]

had to go with "illegal or unregistered" cargo to Grim Hex sold at good price

[winter steeple]

What would you guys say is the most profitable cargo run for a freelancer MAX? I’ve been salvaging with the vulture, just saved up to buy a freelancer to hit up some cargo runs.

[spare cloud]

Either RMC runs or drug runs

[elfin rune]

Hull c fixed?

[elfin rune]

Id push drugs or rmc, maybe gold

[winter steeple]

Roger that, do you think I’d get enough drugs to fill a freelancer? I tried with the cutty black and never found enough to fill it up, also what’s the Best Buy and sell locations for RMC, thanks guys!!

[wintry nimbus]

i get RMC from salvaging missions then sell it either at orison or A18

[spare cloud]

Lancer obviously won't get RMC from salvage missions.
RMC can be bought at the new locations, I don't know their names.
Sell it in TDDs

[spare cloud]

You probably weren't buying drugs in the right places
Good spots like JT sell about 20 SCU of SLAM and Widow and over 70 of altruciatoxin you can use as filler.

If stocks are low, wait a few minutes, buy and leave. Don't wait for the terminals to refresh multiple times. Once only, more is greed

[true carbon]

I use rout Pickers Field - Lorville to trade RMC. Both points are on Hurston. Within 96 scu bought for 1.05m I get 250k per run, it usually take 25 minutes from the moment I buy to the moment I sell.

[winter steeple]

Fantastic, thank you guys. I have never ran drugs from those location so I will give it a shot. I also never used pickers field, so I will try that as well, o was previously making orphanage runs but only getting around 9-10 scu of slam. The vulture does get some good rmc while doing 80k personals but I’m looking for some larger cargo hails, trying some space trucking lol

[elfin rune]

In the drug labs without marker you should have enough

[winter steeple]

Where would I find those locations? Sorry I’ve never visited them.

[elfin rune]

PM'd

[tender gazelle]

where the hull C normally load up cargo at is an open sided warehouse where either you be able to tractor the cargo onto the cargo blades or the station will be sending out MPUVs or drones out to load the hull c. i figure with the hull series and later on planetside and moons, there be open areas to either land and load or tractor the cargo on up

your miners basically already have that style of gameplay ingame right now with the ability to jettison the ore pods and tractor them around to either to your cargo birb or to your MOLE/Expanse

[drifting cave]

In fact the MPUV Is specifically designed for uses like these. Loading cargo onto ships that can't land in a hangar

[worldly hedge]

Beryl is safe, it's not an interesting route for pirates

[vernal creek]

14m 33s is the refresh time?

No, this is

[vernal creek]

No make it update. Leave screen and go back on, keep clicking stuff that makes it load, so it updates

[vernal creek]

Alright, appreciate it

[blissful flume]

Is there really any good way to make money trading without a c2

[spare cloud]

Other ships have huge amounts of cargo, but C2 is best, at least for lawful cargo.
You make decent money trading drugs with anything that has between 40 and 120 SCU

[tender gazelle]

there's the caterpillar which was the king of cargo before the Hercules series made their debut. for not using the cargo grid, the reclaimer be your other best bet with it being able to hold 1000SCU+ easy

doubt you want to move that cargo up that elevator between buys though

[chilly junco]

Definitely. High margin commodities like drugs or RMC. Even a Freelancer Max full of RMC will make you $250k

[drowsy rune]

You can try gold with a cutlass black, if you get the cargo i think its like 100k ana hour or something

[spiral prawn]

How do yall feel about pirates in game?

[fringe kettle]

Personally, I'm of the opinion that a lot of piracy is avoidable by being a little cautious. If I still get caught without any way to call in backup, that's my loss. However, it's rare enough that it ends up being the cost of doing business.

The main form of piracy that's unavoidable is getting caught while loading up. On some moons, you may still be able to get away by using the fact they can't QED near armistice zones, so you can get high enough to QT out before their QED comes back online.

[balmy kelp]

my game crashed when i had 3 hammerheads worth in my reclaimer. is there anyway i can find my body?

[modest blade]

nope, you'll need to redo everything again

and claim your ship, ofc

[wintry nimbus]

not really, if he is lucky he can be logged in same instance and find his ship at the location it crashed of course if he can get to the place it happened

look at the bottom lancer, i spawned in same instance but i couldnt access it as i claimed new ship and the old left with +1mil rmc in it

now i learned that in such circumstances never do claim a new ship just try relogging and go at the accident location first 😉

[modest blade]

Sure, but what are the odds that you'll get in the same instance ?

[wintry nimbus]

there is always some chance tho

[modest blade]

[sonic fiber]

If it crashes, wait 15 mins and it might store it at last station

with all the cargo? @sonic fiber

That's how it works for 30k protection.
It doesn't apply for game crashes

[mental bobcat]

If you are fast enough and or lucky you may get back to the same shard and you may get back to the same place you crashed.

Crashed a few times on the reclaimer and as long as I got back in fast enough I usually got in standing in the same place.

[sonic fiber]

Depending on the reason, yes
You and your ship get stored as is

i apologize. im in cargo and trading lol

[lethal shard]

Just did a mini sheet for a Freelancer MAX run. The run requires stopping at:

Start
Wala - Mining Area 056
**Buy **100 Laranite and 20 Astatine for a total of ¤243,700
->
Lyria - The Orphanage
**Sell **100 Laranite for ¤250,000
**Buy **20 each of Altruciatoxin, E'tam, SLAM (there might be up to 50 available but this is super rare, 20 is common) for a total of ¤495,000

Wala -> Samson and Sons
**Sell **Astatine, Altruciatoxin, E'tam, SLAM for ¤693,000

Total profit is ~¤204,000 (prices variable)

Maximum simultaneous CAPEX is ¤509,000.

So really your loss risk is quite low as far as hauling goes.

Potential for loss is pretty high because of two non armistice zones so I typically only do this outside of busy hours for my region.

Perks:
So no planet side landing. Minimum cargo hold needed is 120 and there is some variability in the total you can make if The Orphanage has a high load for whatever reason.

Note:
If you have more cargo space, you can up the astatine you run to 50 to slightly increase profit. You can also carry 100 Tungstun.

You can do this run round trip every 20 mins and always find this run replenished in my experience.

You can also do a run to Paradise Cove between runs to allow more time for replenishing drugs at The Orphanage.

[sonic fiber]

Rmc pickers to where ever. 300k profit

is the 890J fun enough to just do safe cargo routes in it? I mean, cargo hauling in a luxury space cruise.

[nocturne crater]

Maybe if you got ppl. I mean...Working Salvage in a Reclaimer is kinda a pain...so if you had to protect that ship alone...I think you'd be closer to a giant target than a gaint cargo-hauler. At least stuff like the A/C/M2 and Hull's all have cockpit-controlled defenses. The one plus...but not when considering that everyone knows it's there, is the secondary cockpit...where you can make them take longer to find and kill you. Nah. I's stick with actual cargo haulers or using solo-controlled smaller ships.

[hearty geode]

Interesting. I wonder if it would be worth getting another person to protect you for 50% of the paycheck from the cargo.

[nocturne crater]

really depends on your take. even at that...how much are you willing to split. I only do half..so for me ( I salvage ) I always have to figure how much I wanna make and if its 'worth' having crew that will get an equal cut.

*Take, as in how much you get from your mission or whatever

Tonight I wanna make 8 mil to get a Redeemer. Thats 5 missions. If I have a crew member be a Dock-Master...then that means it may go quicker....but I'll also have to hit 10 missions to get the 16 mil I would need to be able to split the take in half and walk away with a full 8. As such...I'll probably just work it alone.

From my experience as both a box monkey and a solo captain, the split for 1 crew member is worth it. Most ships I've worked on, 5 HH is a full load, and takes about an hour. So 2 and bit hours will get you the money you want. The time you would otherwise have to spend walking thr full length of the ship with every break more or less doubles the the time anyway. Plus you then end up stressing about something happening while you're not in the cockpit.

I watched a video of someone loading a Hull C with all the cargo from ERTs, just flinging them casually onto the grid. They landed the Hull C as well with the spindle extended and had it just resting on the spindle. Then flew it to a bunch of different salvage yards to unload what they looted too, but no idea how they were getting in and out of it. I do know the content creator used two accounts / characters, controlling them individually, so maybe they shuttled themselves in and out of the Hull C with a 2nd ship.

Scrap yard weren't nerfed or anything in any of the last patches. They were just a few selling issues, mostly with stacked cargo

Nothing hardly playable

[tall karma]

If you enjoy combat, you might consider looking into combat service beacons (though not in the cargo channel). They have always been the highest revenue generation mission in the game once you can find them. Aside from the imbalanced cargo from ERTs and the poorly balanced Reclaimer game loops presently in game.

[balmy kelp]

ok will do once ert cargo gets nerfed. reclaimer is too boring. makes me not want to play lol

[sonic fiber]

Same here
Made 100mil. Bored now

[north oyster]

the risk of earning too much, that happened to me in the hayday of trade/mining, earned over 850M aUEC and owned every ship in the game, LOL

Bummed that I didn't break a Billion before the wipe. But I know a few who did

Now I'm going nice and slow, even now I have less than 20M aUEC in my wallet. I'll probably run it slowly up to about 50 or so million aUEC and not much more than that

[earnest sage]

Have they redued the amount of Weevil Egg spawning in ERTs? I have done 20+ ERTs and only seen 4 SCU

[brisk sand]

Yes, about a couple of weeks ago

It used to be stupid insane, but everyone once in awhile u find the mother load, couple days ago I had a C2 with about 160 SCU weevil eggs

@earnest sage

[balmy kelp]

is there a way to find out if grim hex or brios is taking certain drugs real time without going there?

[tall karma]

Nope

If you go to Brio's, be extra suspicious. Use your PING and check any ships in the area. PING when you get close to see if there are players on the ground as well. IMO, best to head to A18 or MT to sell your drugs at one of those salvage yards, they're 75% less likely to have Pirates waiting.

[balmy kelp]

whats a18 and mt?

[tall karma]

Also, CRU-L4 and CRU-L5 have no questions asked terminals in the Galeria that buy drugs.

Area 18, and MicroTech. ArcCorp has a salvage yard on Wala I think its called.

And MicoTech has one on a moon out there.

[balmy kelp]

oaky

ive been lucky only got pirated by real players twice and won both

one time had a lot of eggs

[earnest sage]

thanks

[spare cloud]

Ping for infantry doesn't work since a few patches

Like 3.20

[earnest sage]

any care to guess how much this 96KG box of laranite might cost?

sell for?

[spare cloud]

Don't count in weight, count in volume. Box you can hold in your hands are 1/8th of a SCU

[earnest sage]

so practically worthless

[spare cloud]

Yeah

Only maze and weevil eggs are worth looting in 1/8th boxes

[light drum]

can i sell construction materials at brios etc?

[vestal ravine]

Not that I am aware of... Those are generally sold at Admin Stations in the big cities.

[tender gazelle]

free 5mil at Brios? 😄 happy inferno noises

but yeah, Breaking Yards will only take RMC, not CM. you can sell CM at the TDD/Admins at all the major spaceports+Grim hex

[spare cloud]

And orbital space stations

[tender gazelle]

also do not go to a pvp hotspot with a free 5mil+ of CM unless you be baiting for your fighters to chew on would be attackers

by then though, you be torped by an Eclipse

[terse barn]

I will endeavor to prioritize the safety and security of the server's users. If an Eclipse were to pose a threat, appropriate measures would be taken to mitigate any potential damage.

[hearty sand]

[balmy kelp]

trying to scan soft killed erts for cargo, why does my scan keep losing signal?

[ripe hollow]

Hey all, I’m looking for some guidance on which ship to save up my space bucks for. I’m looking for a solo-able multicrew capable multi-purpose ship to be mainly used for cargo, delivery, trading, exploration

So far the suggestions I’ve seen are:

• MSR
• C2
• Constellation (probably Aquila or Taurus?)
• 400i
• 600i
• Carrack
• Corsair

Who’s flown any of these, and what’s your experience been like? Any other suggestions I left out?

[spare cloud]

Better ask in #ccu-and-fleet-advice 👍

[ripe hollow]

Thanks! I wondered if there was a better channel 😅

[frigid ravine]

anyone have an extra golden ticket?

[balmy kelp]

what ship is that that is basically an open platform that can lift ground vehicles?

@ripe hollow c2 definitely with gattling guns can solo 2 erts missions and then sell all

ad5b

[tender gazelle]

transport or lift like a skycrane?

[balmy kelp]

transport

basically an open platform, u shaped ship lifting it, at the apex of the U shape is where the captain is

[tender gazelle]

none although there is a MPUV skycrane in the works but that be a snub meant to tractor goods to and from cargo/refinery decks

[balmy kelp]

im looking at uexcorp.space/ships. went trhough all transport type vehicles. what should i look for that can carry ground vehicles?

[tender gazelle]

if basic transport then that be a whole range of ships. Cutluss Black, Spirit series, hercules series, starfarer, Zeus series, connie series, 400I, 600I, 890J Jump, freelancer series

[balmy kelp]

okay ty

[tender gazelle]

mercury star runner, galaxy, odyssey, carrack

endeavor w/ landing bay pod

[balmy kelp]

found it! its the crucible

can it carry ground vehicles do u know?

nvm i cvant buy it with in game money

lol

[tender gazelle]

crucible is more of a repair. not ingame atm

[balmy kelp]

it looked like it can carry but it actually repairs

[tender gazelle]

detachable pod is for repairing fighters as well be open to repair larger/capital ships onsite

[balmy kelp]

i think im gonna get a 400i. can that carry a land vehicle?

[hidden sedge]

from what i remember, only a bike

[tender gazelle]

cargo bay should be able to haul at least a cyclone/ROC?

[toxic citrus]

!fit

[wary tusk]

Can it fit?

Credit goes to u/KriLL3 for the design

[toxic citrus]

Fits, but not recommended

[balmy kelp]

ty

[desert crypt]

We already know what it’s for. It can add/remove cargo from grids like Hull-C etc. there’s a short video snippet of it in one of the cargo demos. Unfortunately don’t recall if it was Citizen con or ISC.

[tall karma]

Not the best choice for carrying a ground vehicle and pricey!

[civic bolt]

where does a player obtain drugs, which drugs are the best to run, and where do ya run them too once youve obtained some?

also, is it a good way to make some dosh... or would something else be better for making money?

[spare cloud]

It is, if you got between 40 and 120 SCU of cargo space.
Any more than that, and you'll wait a long time at the terminal for it to restock.
Place like JumpTown have 20 SCU of SLAM, 20 of Widow and a lot more of altruciatoxin, that's just a filler for your space left.

[civic bolt]

so its not really worth it if you got a little bitty ship

wot would be a recommended ship for running droogs, if youre gonna try your hand at that?

[spare cloud]

Yeah, with 40 you're really starting to get the best of it, with 20 + 20 SLAM and WidoW

[civic bolt]

i see... and where can you take these droogs - just brios or are there other places too?

[spare cloud]

400i, MSR, Cutlass Black, C1, Lancer bace, Lancer MAX

They're good runners

Brio's will buy the drugs

[civic bolt]

anywhere else or is that it?

no other places in other sectors?

[civic bolt]

thanks for the info... guess i need to work towards a cutty black or similar first

[spare cloud]

I would run the MSR all the time for drug runs if it had a S3 shield

400i is MSR equivalent with S3 shield, both are zooming. But 40 SCU vs 114

[civic bolt]

40 is what the 400i has izzit?
thats enough though innit... can take all the slam and widow from JT with that one right?

[spare cloud]

Yeah, 400i 40, MSR 114

Yeah, can take it all

[civic bolt]

ive got a chain on the go for the Zeus CL that goes through the cutty black

wot would be the "ideal" ship for running droogs?

[spare cloud]

MSR is an incredible drug runner, but its defaults are big, like that stupid elevator. Worst elevator of the game.
400i or C1 are very good choices

Then Cutty Black

[civic bolt]

Zeus when it finally gets in game?

[spare cloud]

Maybe 🤷

[civic bolt]

might still opt for the origin scrat/cyrill sneer

seems the zeus cl will have size 3 shields according to its info page... or does the little number over the "M" refer to something else?
will have plenty of cargo space - plus tractor beam, potentially 2 main weapons at size 4 & at least one turret at size 3, and 4 missiles size 4 on 2 racks... which dont sound too shabby
i could be misunderstanding the legend though

[tall karma]

It just probably wont be as fast (or agile) as the MSR/C1 based on the stats and CIG Q&A

Though, when you factor in the time it takes to enter/exit the MSR, then you're probably not losing out much compared to the CL!

[civic bolt]

interesting, i hadnt thought about that

is a good point

[tall karma]

Especially since I believe the CL has a separate entrance to go right to the bridge, vs having to enter from the rear ramp also.

[civic bolt]

seems like the CL might be an ok choice as an all rounder for cargo of all kinds

and it looks cool too

[tall karma]

Yeah, probably a little more enjoyable to fly than the Taurus and hopefully more durable than the MAX.

Taurus beats it in every regard other than speed/agility - or if you hate lifts and must have a ramp as some people prefer.

[civic bolt]

CL has considerably more cargo space then the c1

[iron rune]

That would also depend on if you can enter from that docking ring when in atmo

[civic bolt]

double the cargo space in fact

[tall karma]

Yes and no. The problem with the C1 is that it has a row in the middle where you can put cargo off-grid, but it blocks the rear ramp which is a problem for most people, but you can use the tractor beam to get in and out.

So the CL does have more cargo, but the C1 can easily fit 96SCU with some logistics.

[civic bolt]

izzit?... yea its listed as having 64 SCU

but you can tetris more in huh

so you can probably tetris even more into the CL as well

[iron rune]

It is that way for most ships

[civic bolt]

makes sense

[tall karma]

The CL will have a pretty tight cargo area from all we've seen.

[civic bolt]

just depends how much risk you like as to blowing up

[spare cloud]

We got pics of CL full of cargo. There's no room for anything else

[iron rune]

But we can't be certain with unreleased ships

[civic bolt]

well, 128 SCU is a reasonable amount for a ship of that size

and price range

am likely not only gonna be using it for running drugs but many other things

[spare cloud]

Just pointing to the fact that a full JT has 20 SLAM, 20 WiDow and 74 Altruciatoxin. 114 SCU of drugs
Also 400i 42, not 40

[civic bolt]

oh neat, extra 2

heh

ngl, i think the CL will be a good choice overall for cargo and transporting stuff while not being overly expensive and huge - and look cool doing it

guess i'll keep the chain im workin for it

thanks for your input guys, 'preciate the info and opinions... just need CIG to release the bastard now

[north oyster]

FYI for those with rentals or refinery jobs
CIG: We are currently planning on going LIVE with 3.22.0a late this evening.
Characters in this new environment will be built from LTP data so items such as medpens, ammo, rentals, and refinery jobs will be lost.

When selling CM what is the best way to box it up first?? Are 16scu boxes worth the most cash per box then 8,4,2,1 per box?

[spare cloud]

16SCU boxes are worth double 8SCU boxes because they're double the size 🤷 They're all worth the same per SCU

[static wing]

Whats some of the best trade routes to start doing?

Beryl is great because there seems to be a good supply at any one time. Gold has a high cost and lower volumes. Then there's vice.

[cedar ledge]

Construction Materials? Yes at Providence Platform...

[mental bobcat]

Yes. It's on the industrial platform.

[tender quiver]

What should I do when Im trying to sell construction material and the admin terminal says "no demand"

[spare cloud]

Wait

[fierce kindle]

or fly to a different admin office,

admin offices around crusader are overrun with CM because of most reclaimers salvage hammerheads around yela and take the short flight to crusader to sell

[cedar ledge]

Guilty as charged! At Providence Platform - Not seen any no demand messages though when selling...

Talking of - given a 100scu cargo grid what's the best way of boxing CM for max profit or does it not matter because it's a 100scu no matter what boxes you put it in?

[drifting cave]

The grid is a suggestion

[small hornet]

The best way is Tetris.

[drifting cave]

If the grid says 100 SCU it's 100 SCU if you manage to fill the entire grid, but most ships have extra space off-grid (which might bounce around or block off the room

But yes. Become ungovernable, embrace cargo tetris

You can fit like 2k SCU in a reclaimer if you do that

400 SCU grid btw

[cedar ledge]

I'm using a Reclaimer for CM for loads of money at the moment - Full cargo grids on both the cargo hold and the processing deck have been getting around 1.5 to 1.9m a time

[drifting cave]

yeah in a reclaimer you want to go off-grid

I took this screenshot way back

You can get way more extreme with it

[small hornet]

slow clap

[cedar ledge]

🙂 Hey I might one day... It's just I get bored easily...

[drifting cave]

bringing a friend makes it a lot more comfortable since you don't gotta run back and forth

(or y'know ask in #looking-for-session people are always desperate for a spot)

[cedar ledge]

🙂 quite happy with what I'm making - That's not including the 250k i get for the clean-up

[drifting cave]

at the end of the day yeahl ike

if you have fun, no point in pushing more

[cedar ledge]

🙂

[tender quiver]

How long does it take to be able to sell again

[spare cloud]

Between 5 and 20 minutes usually

Depending on the terminal refresh rates and how much time was left before a refresh when you arrived

[light drum]

Is it worth the time to bring it in the cargo bay?

Btw what is the cargo bay on the reclaimer for? Theres no grid to put stuff on there

[tender gazelle]

exactly what it is, for cargo. rework for the reclaimer is coming

[rose forge]

yea the reclaimer really needs a huge back door that opens up for cargo

[cedar ledge]

There is another floor below that - "Cargo Hold" on the lift button this one has a grid.
The one immediately below the processing deck doesn't have a grid...

[light drum]

I know. But what is it for? It has no grid and its a pain in the ass to put containers on the elevator

[cedar ledge]

I don't know why there is a floor without a grid - It's annoying for me too...

[light drum]

And theres no grid on the elevator...

[cedar ledge]

I know - Wish there was it would make loading the elevator a lot easier

[light drum]

There should be a 3 container grid on the elevator and a 12 container grid on the very bottom 10 container grid on the forge floor and the main hall should have at least a second height on the grid which is already there

Idk how is the reclaimer said to be 420scu of cargo... i barely counted 192 on the grid

[hidden onyx]

hey guys

recently did some mining

and will have acquired a small amount of boxes (2000+) in about 5 hours. How on earth do I transport and sell all of this with only 1 mil and a freelancer rented for 2 more days?

[slate jackal]

Make a deal with other players to help you haul the loot, sell and pay them. Fixed fees could work to avoid a bite into your proceeds.

[hidden onyx]

thanks

[slate jackal]

Or you can rent a larger ship than a Freelancer... if you deffinitely want to solo it. A Connie is a good alternative.

[hidden onyx]

only 96 scu tho

thats the biggest rentable hauler and is gonna give me 20 trips

maybe i should just sell in the freelancer until i can afford a taurus

[slate jackal]

How about talking to another player and renting their ship?

[hidden onyx]

ill try that

[tender helm]

whats a good early cargo haul commodity rn?

[iron rune]

I did processed food and distilled spirits when I was first learning. Short trips, low investment, lots of supply and demand.

[solemn ruin]

For those that enjoy Hauling HullC Hauling. Did I miss any locations that the HullC can land at?

[mental bobcat]

Do missions you are able with your starter ship and then think about renting a ship you can haul cargo with. The Freelancer is a good choice for this.
Then use cheap rentals to run cargo to buy a ship with a deep cargo bay and work your way up.
Cargo is more profitable and in turn more risky the more you haul around.

[potent moat]

Well i made the mistake of filling a Hall C full of Med supplies. All the stations wont buy more than 10scu at a time.

I bought copper from seraphin point and can't sell it in everus

You'll need to sell at a City's TDD

[glossy peak]

Has the Hull C been fixed?

[umbral grove]

i have the avenger titan is it good for cargo?

[bright tinsel]

Mid at best has 8SCU of space you can get by doing cargo runs but its gonna take hours to see any real profit accumulate id say titan is more for delivery missions, bunkers, bounties up to HRT

Imho id grind out bunkers or bounties rent a connie then do cargo hauling but i wouldnt rent until you have some time to sit down and play bc u dont wanna waste ur rent timer if u only have like 2-3 hours to play

[umbral grove]

ok thx

[night birch]

im looking at trade websites and they say you can make 400k per cargo run with the c2. Is this true?

[drifting cave]

Yes but that's also by investing several millions

You get 400k profit but it's very risky

[rose forge]

It also takes a while for the outposts to fill up

[wintry nimbus]

sometimes bed-logging to different region helps and you'll find outpost refilled

but yeah risky

[misty idol]

Make 2mil per run with c2: go to Rappel or to an other settelment on Hurston. There u can by Construction material for 7 and a half milion. Fly to ArcCorp and sell it there -> 9mil. But be careful on rappel there are gonna be pepple who try to steal your load, so bring a gun and scan the area befor you land.

[balmy kelp]

how are cargo that ert runs drop nowadays? what exactly got nerfed? and how much average do you make now?

[balmy kelp]

does anyone else fps drop when going to rappel?

[balmy kelp]

cm or rmc?

[tender gazelle]

infinite npc spawn at rappel

why rappel is never suggest unless by those that havent been[only looked at sctools and uexcorp, not from reading discord, those people]

Picker's Field is the go to for RMC. if you want construction material, go do hammerhead cleanups

[balmy kelp]

ty. also, eux is out of date on prices arent they?

[rose forge]

rappel is broken, and so are the other settlements in the verse

it seems anything without a landing pad doesent detect your ship

[tender quiver]

What should I do?

[misty idol]

What?

[balmy kelp]

Nvm. I found the answer. Also, rappel is bugged. Only getting 4 fps there cause hundreds of npc spawn on one pixel. Lol

[balmy kelp]

It detects mine fine. But yeah rappel needs fixing

[bronze bough]

Hi! What kind of loops or missions are there within Cargo/Trading?

Cargo running (buy -> Sell)
Box/Delivery?
Other?

[shell edge]

@bronze bough Currently?: As you listed, and then you may be needed as cargo runner during salvage ops, if there is a ship with cargo being salvaged.

Some events also need cargo ships, like Xenothreat and blockade runner events

[vestal ravine]

I made two stops with my reclaimer last night. The first was for Corundum at scd 1 Daymar. The game put those crates in the salvage processing unit. My next stop was the Hammerhead mission. I put those crates around the Corundum. Why didn't it put the cargo in the cargo hold? Be aware of this.

[blazing crest]

yes me

[bronze bough]

Oh hadn't heard of those!! Will look them up.

[bronze bough]

that's interesting - I wonder if you have the option to pick different cargo grids on purchase?

[vestal ravine]

That would be a cool option especially for a big ship like this Reclaimer. What I experienced may be a glitch of course. Definitely avoid stacking othe crate types on top of those. Another bigger hassel thing happened. At scd 1 I parked off pad the ground seemed pretty level but it was not. The rear ramp was like 12 feet off the ground and I had to call up a Fury to get back on the ship. Bridge elevator also way up.

[bronze bough]

had that issue with the connie taurus frequently!

[balmy kelp]

Do people sell their cm at area 18 or new babbage?

[tender gazelle]

both

every city admin/TDD accepts CM

although if you going into atmosphere it be in a cargo birb or vulture right?

RIP if you even consider taking the reclaimer into atmo

[balmy kelp]

yeah it was reclaimer

just wondering who paid more. a18 or nb

[mental bobcat]

I sell at A18 because it's capacity for sold goods is about 10x the size of other cities.

Far more likely to be able to buy large amounts of CM or RMC

[sonic fiber]

And you can store ship there

[misty idol]

Yeah but its worth it

[misty idol]

Area 18

[half heath]

is it worth it to buy the c2? (@ me if you answered)

[misty idol]

Yeah

[misty idol]

You can also go to any other settelment

[half heath]

how much money do you get per hour of doing trade routes?

[balmy kelp]

i always went to new babbage. but area 18 pays 100auec less lol

for reclaimer runs

[misty idol]

Like depends if u do no risk like 500k and high risk like going to rappel by cm and sell them at area 18 or new babage

[balmy kelp]

its rmc at rappel right?

[misty idol]

I meen the problem of rappel

[balmy kelp]

yeah. so annoying to land at rappel

[misty idol]

I think cm dk

[balmy kelp]

someone said you cant buy cm anywhere

[misty idol]

You can also go to any other settelment

Yeah thats right

But rappel is a bit safer

Idk

[zinc plover]

hey what do you guys recommend for a second ship ?

for cargo ofc

[toxic citrus]

what do you have right now

Obvious answer would be to just save for a cat or a c2 though

[zinc plover]

hum I have a Nomad but the 24scu isn't really great

[toxic citrus]

And how much aUEC?

[zinc plover]

doesn't matter much i can farm I think

[toxic citrus]

C2 or caterpillar

Down to your preference then

Hull-C is busted last I heard of it

so don't bother with that

[zinc plover]

but like im looking for a good ship to play with some friends and maybe making it my starter, some ship that I can do cargo run when my friends are not here

[toxic citrus]

Oh so you want to pledge one?

Or, buy with aUEC?

[zinc plover]

more like pledge

[toxic citrus]

What price range?

[zinc plover]

to farm aUEC

[toxic citrus]

and I'd assume for trading specifically

[zinc plover]

around 130 max

[toxic citrus]

Total or extra?

[zinc plover]

Yeah, idk why but i love trading

[toxic citrus]

I know how it is

I'm just waiting for it to get better rn

[zinc plover]

total, even tho i'd love to be able to spend it as extra

[toxic citrus]

Hmm

If you choose to use a little extra, 100% get the FL max, it's 150 USD value

[zinc plover]

yeah thought about it but its a little expensive

[toxic citrus]

But in your case, Hull-A, base freelancer, cutty black or C1

[zinc plover]

I thought about buying the normal FL and then might upgrade again some day

[toxic citrus]

Anything that works for you

[zinc plover]

I think I'll go with normal FL, kinda love the ship's design and being able to play with a few friends

[toxic citrus]

[zinc plover]

Is this site upto date regarding prices?

https://sc-trade.tools/commodities

[spare cloud]

More or less

[tight sierra]

Thx

[spare cloud]

uexcorp.space has CMAT, for example, but they got the old value displayed at half the places, and is far more confusing to use IMO

tradetools have cmat, but they simply didn't enter a value for it 🤷

We're working on it 😄
I'm hoping to have everything up to date soon, with an even better system than before!

raft or c1?

[spare cloud]

I'd say C1, can fit as much as the Raft, with a 32SCU container off grid, but flies better

[wraith ice]

that's true I just like the raft when it comes to the look, if they had walk in containers then Raft would be my number one

If i go to salvage missions and only take the cargo inside ships would i be able to make a decent profit or is it a waste of time?

[proper jungle]

so, cant take from a team members ship and put it on a Cull C....

good thing I tested that first.

[fair robin]

Typically cargo missions don’t give great cargo from a selling perspective. Doesn’t take long to scrape though.

Found some gold from destroyed ship,tried to sell it at wala and celin but getting unregistred item(illegal or stolen)

Didnt try admin office at grim hex

[wintry nimbus]

try NQ terminals at Lagrande stations but cant remember which had them usually they are at lockers area

[tight sierra]

Strange thing is that illegal terminals show that gold is sellable but showing unregistred item while “normal” terminals show that items are not sellable

Have feeling like i need crypto key or something to make terminal buy gold

[vestal ravine]

The Gold can't be sold at a TDD terminal?

[tight sierra]

Salvaged gold,not bought

Ok thanks for the update.
