Starter Ship Cargo Trading in the Safety of Stanton | Star Citizen [4K]

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

Yer doing a fine job, providing a bit of learned experience to new and not so new players. That's all that counts. Happy Christmas and a great New Year to you and yours.

[@mabutoo]

Small hauling missions to start pay 45-55k; seems like that would be the best way to start.

[@Schlizzle1979]

The life balance in the verse. Novice contracts that pay 70k. Loving it.

[@protoni6996]

agreed but still after they put contracts back on. it doesn't register my delivery. and can't submit or abandon it either 🤔 but yeah need to go test again now on new server

[@ATLAS-y3u]

DAMN I COMPLETELY FORGOT WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO MAKE RUNS THIS SMALL

[@MrDashpilot]

Nice man. Looking forward to getting my trade empire going again after the new year.

[@VonChoker]

honestly commodity trading isn't worth it at all. You made 8k on that food run and you could have made 30-40k hauling now that contracts are back. I can take a hauling contract to move around 11 scu for between 32k to 49k with no investment risk. and after scouring stanton trades most roi's are sub 1k per scu - it's just not worth it. Even the food one you highlighted turned out to be 3k per scu with limited supply. I can take a hauling contract with no risk and make much better money on shorter hops. Now at scale in a Hull C things might be different for each run but that's going to require 1 to 2 mil investment and I'd want to have about 3-4 mil before risking it. old adage, don't risk more than half your bank. I also don't know why you travel back empty. Later in the vid you looked at bexalite. you could have filled the 8scu in your cargo and sold that at orison crusader and make 5k profit on the return trip - another trucker adage - running empty is losing money. and that tragic end is why the hauling is better for starting as you wouldn't have lost any cash

[@Schlizzle1979]

Cutty Black with the side access door are clutch. Especially planet side deliveries.

[@protoni6996]

Yeah especially unloading part. do you do trading with your cutty?if so what is best trade for that side cargo bay? i think im gonna do gold trade. mut it makes like 43k and. the need to invest little over +250k but only in stanton so little safer

[@vegas6908]

Doing the same. Been having fun with the Hull A again.

[@Iconoclastix]

Likewise, the Hull A is an unsung gem!

[@VonChoker]

yep its so easy to load/unload. I'm making way more bank doing hauling contracts than commodity buying. Can't wait till I finally get my Hull B

[@DavidKirwanirl]

Keep an eye on the price of the fuel, is it cheaper elsewhere in system?

[@dysongibson4936]

the grind is real lol I bought the ship I would need like Starlancer max to get a faster start and once hauling contracts are working I should be able to get running quickly. Build up to a couple of Mil and then start cargo trading to rebuild the empire lol

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

The doors are open because previously in EPTU you could not ENTER ANY of the buildings here. Or at ANY OUTPOSTS anywhere in the Stanton System.

[@mhill311]

what is that webiste

[@85Bad4ever]

So you do cargo manualy now,when you buy it its not gona tp inside your ship

[@NoobsGamingSC]

In some places, if you can put your ship away, you have the option to autoload

[@85Bad4ever]

​@@NoobsGamingSC aa nice change ,thx

[@85Bad4ever]

@@NoobsGamingSC i guess places like outposts on planets are manual loading,that is gona be fun hehe

[@wun1gee]

Well that didn't last long. ROI on fresh food is only 13.5% now.

[@billkranz8035]

What about a Gold run with that Intrepid?

[@protoni6996]

i made test (with my cutty) but i just buy 10scu gold. so profit was 10.1k and cost 52.9k and it was in hurston - NB so it was pretty safe...but not huge profits.

[@sleepfishl]

I wish I could do anything atm. I can't even reach my hangar. XD

[@protoni6996]

😬 but always ask ride to another place from someone when that is problem. it's not same thing every place. and move your regen there too.

[@sleepfishl]

@@protoni6996 Sure, but it sucks if the home location is bugged and on top of that the place I usually sell my stuff. XD It's just highly inconvenient. I rather play something else until it's fixed than to deal with that.

Christ, write a script and then read it over the footage. Your halting, broken narrative makes watching a chore.
