![]() The latter gets a bit more cargo space, but I prefer the Behemoth for a bit more speed and almost double the shields.Īll this is for custom models. After that, I'm not sure between the Behemoth and the Syndicate heavy freighter (I forget the name). The Hauler II is probably the second best choice. In terms of what ships to use, I think custom Freighters are the best value, but I got really annoyed after I had about 20 of them, so I started testing out alternatives. By now, I have a net worth of about 100 million (if I sold everything), and a fleet of 9 Behemoths following me (I'm flying a weaponless blackbird with lots of fuel, which I was using for exploring).Īt this point, I'm getting about 6 million profit from a round trip of Alphard-Delta Velorum. I didn't want to have to go back and do it every time I needed money, so I decided to just grind it. Returned to it when I had about 20-30 million. I stopped when I had about 10 million, started doing other stuff, missions, more exploring. Then I got another Freighter, and another, and another. I probably would have liked that earlier on in the game, though, as it's easy to do very early on, and shorter.īy the time I got a Freighter, I started doing Alphard-Delta Velorum (paid for the Freighter by doing missions/trading randomly as I explored the galaxy). I haven't done any specific calculations, but Alphard-Delta Velorum is also what I use.Īfter finding this thread, I tried out Sirius-Altair, but I find it's not as good. Safe enough to strip your freighter fleet of weapons and shields and just go heavy hauler.ħ2.7 CTD (727 / 10) | Alphard/DeltaVelorum | Almost as much profit as Sirius/Altair, but with the potential added income of looting pirates you killĮdit: The Sirius/Altair route actually has only *2* jumps, not 3, so it only takes 6 days, not 8, making it a slightly better route! Updated stats above This calculation means I should make about 990k per round trip, which is exactly what I make.Īnybody have a route that works out to higher than 115.85 CTD?ġ15.85 CTD (811 / 7) | Nihal/Bellatrix | Heavily infested with pirates, no refueling stations for 4 jumps.ħ3.5 CTD (441 / 6) | Sirius/Altair | Easy and safe for starting out, just running back and forth around Sol. Total profit = CTD * Total Cargo Space of your Fleet * Days to complete round trip To see how much you would make from a trade route, the formula is: I divide the credits per ton of cargo by the total number of days to make the round trip to get the Credits per Ton per Day, 72.7 CTD. Alphard and DeltaVelorum are 4 jumps apart from eachother so it takes 8 days to make the round trip, plus one day spent on each planet trading, for a total of 10 days. Now you must also consider how long it will take to make this round trip, since you might make more money overall doing two less profitable short runs than one more profitable long run. Combined this means a round trip earns 727 credits per ton of cargo carried. For Example in the best trade route I've found, Alphard/DeltaVelorum (72.7 CTD), I look at the profit on taking Metal from A to DV (+263) and the profit on taking Luxury Goods from DV to A (+464). To calculate this, I take the total difference between trade goods between two systems. So I'm judging a route based on credits-earned, per ton of cargo carried, per day required to complete a full cycle (Credits per Ton per Day or CTD). You also encounter pirates much more often when your fleet begins to gain a size like mine. Seems like a very efficient path although you will need to have a good defense for yourself if you find yourself slow. Using one A370 Atomic Thruster and one A255 Atomic Steering on my Behemoth and one A250 Atomic Thruster and two A125 Atomic Steering on my Freighters allowing me to jump very quickly between each.Įdit: Now an 825k profit with 1 Behemoth and 4 Freighters. I stop at Rutilicus both on the way there and the way back as it is the dead middle and you require fuel at that jump using my setup. I'm using 2 fuel pods with all three of them to have a perfect trip there and back. When I was using 3 Freighters I was getting exactly 500k profit (no loan to pay off) so with the Behemoth I'm getting even more.Įdit: I just checked my profit with 1 Behemoth and 2 Freighters, 622k. ![]() Running from Alderamin with a full heavy metal load of 790 to Sabik and selling, then buying a full food load and running back to sell and repeat. Currently using 1 Behemoth and 2 Freighters.
