10 Trade tips in Elite Dangerous

[@thekraken8him]

Yamiks has convinced me time and time again that the main problem with Elite Dangerous is that is has so many cool and fun mechanics that are made obsolete by a complete disregard for risk/effort:reward balance. It's sad, really; that the main issue could be solved by literally changing a few numbers but Frontier STILL won't do it.

[@dreamyrhodes]

yeah but why not tho? I don't understand that. Why cant they make even a little effort in fitting their balance?

Trade tip 11: don’t only do mining and trading in such a vast game like elite. sure it’s great for making money but it can get really boring. Especially for newer players who may never come back. This goes for all trades in the game.

[@PaulPower4]

I think this video maybe misses why people who like trading... like trading. There's just a quiet satisfaction in getting something where it needs to go, or in being that bridge between the people who make things and the people who need them, or in making your favourite faction slowly grow. It's OpenTTD on a personal level. And yes, making a profit is the goal, but the amount of profit matters less than you think. It's not like I particularly *need* the money any more. I have enough. It's just nice to build something rather than always have to be destroying. Though saying that, if ever I need a change of pace, I can always just get in my Chieftain and blap a few pirates. Serves 'em right for all those interdictions knocking me out of supercruise assist...

[@shadowjc-gn5fj]

The most profitable way to trade (outside of the easy route) I've found is looking for missions that require the delivery of weapons. At least 1 station in systems offers theseand they range from 1.7m to 7.1 million each. Carry quantities vary form 2 units to 180 units. Most of the time they are offered by the main faction of the region at max rep.

[@Kyro_Gaming_Channel]

Well that's max 40k a ton. Are there a lot of these missions? Is there a tool to find these missions online? I'd rather do the nerfed painite mining if there aren't many of these missions available... If there ARE several of them, then it may be worth it.

I honestly don't know how the 3rd party tools evolved from there. I only played for a handful of months before puting the game on the shelf. I do find myself returning for a few more months of play once in a while, but seeing the price data next to the commodities list makes me laugh remembering the history FDev had fighting these tools.

[@johntaylor4013]

dude tritium used to be pretty decent to trade. got 1.5B super quick but now its literal shit. keep up the good shit Yamiks!

[@Khunvyel]

Well... :) Wing mission payout is calculated just like single missions in terms of reward. The price per unit doesn't differ from single missions a lot. But what you do get is much more volume that is usually higher than 4x . Other than that, a wing mission, reward wise, is just many solo missions stacked on top that is meant to be split in 4 ways. 5:33 is factually wrong. Once you pass a certain threshold with reputation, the wing missions for that agent will *ALWAYS* be profitable, even solo. *But since you already went the mission way of trading, here are my very successful trade mission tips that rival mining in terms of profit, and naturally other bonuses:* #1) Find an industrial, high-tech or Tourism base that is close to the sun (ideally less 100ls but anything that is below 350 is fine, travel time wise.) Ideally, this is a highsec-system. But it should be medium at least. #2) If you take Industrial, make sure you have a Refinery, Extraction and high-tech station WITHIN a 20 Lightyear jump from the home station. If you take hightech, it's Refinery, extraction, Industrial naturally. If Tourism, it's a bit trickier because you need all 4. Refinery, Extraction, high-tech AND Industrial. In any case, these stations have to be close to the sun as well in order to keep the travel times low. DO NOT substitute a Refinery+Extraction type station for the two individual ones. They will vary in goods and availability. Having one extra within reach is handy, but don't sweat it. In any case, you want the destinations close enough so your ship only needs to make the trip in ONE jump only. Two at worst. #3) If you want to be on the safe side, do only missions until you reach allied status with the contacts before you look into wing missions. You can always check payout vs. buy cost, but in general it goes like this: the better standing you have, the better payout you get. This means your buy cost won't move, but your rewards will scale up to the point where wing missions pay more than they cost, even if you do them solo. #4) Check for mining missions too. Things like Silver, Gold, Cobalt, Rutile, Bauxite, Gallium and Lepidolite can be purchased just fine from the market. Do not fall for Bertrandite or other stuff. They have fantastic price-to-ton ratio when it comes to reward comparison. Plus, as wing missions, they hold up for 7 days. So you can accept them, complete them, and then share with your friends that pop up a few days later. #5) Check the stations that you visit to pickup goods from for trade missions as well which you use for your go-to trip from the home base. That way you'll never fly with an empty belly and make far more money than trying to take a few other units for regular trade. Because you also get the standing up faster that way. #6) Missions that lead you to a destination (apart from sightseeing passengers missions) will always remain within the 20LY range. So if you get a courier mission from your base station TO one of your preferred pickup stations, go for it. Likewise, if you get a courier mission from those pickups to your HOME base, take them. #7) More important than COURIER mission and even more important than forward-trip trade missions though are the CARGO TRANSFER missions. Ideally, you want them from your home base to the station where you pick up goods to return home. #8) Your mission journal can hold 25 missions. Make use of that and grab many of them :) Also, prioritize missions by TIME, not by payout. Those 5000 units cargo transport for quite a good chunk of money does look tempting at first when you think "hmmmmm I don't have to pay for the materials!" but that's just a fallacy. It's trips per payout, thus try to grab the high value good missions that have low volume counts for efficient payout. #9) You will get enemies from time to time, especially when you grab multiple missions. You can deal them in two ways: *a) If you do NOT want to fight* , prioritize to complete missions with those enemies and maybe scale down to a Type 7 or Anaconda to avoid interdiction fast. While you CAN avoid interdiction in a Type-9, you waste a lot of time doing so. That's time you could've spent flying. If you are in a highsec system, then let yourself be interdicted if you are confident of your shields and chaffs. Being highsec, the police almost immediately shows up, and willfully submitting interdiction by throttling to zero you do NOT get the windup-penalty. Since you are not aggressing the enemy, they will be engaged with the police and you can fly away again. *b) If you WANT to fight* then grab your combat ship and go into supercruise mode, then throttle down immediately. Very soon, the enemy spawns and goes for interdiction. They will ONLY spawn in the system you took the mission, except it's a mining mission, then the enemies can spawn anywhere. After defeating the first (with immediate help from the police if you picked a high security system) you go back to supercruise and wait again. It shouldn't take long for the next person to appear. Since you throttle down immediately, it doesn't take long for you to get back to base immensely fast. #10) If you fly with a wing of traders, nothing changes other than you should coordinate a little who buys what and share all the missions accordingly. When everyone has enemies, it's best to clear them out before you start making the runs, and 4 people will be able to pile on the single ship that is sent after either one of you effectively. Navlock is your friend. Let the others roll around the interdiction and communicate until everyone is locked positively so you all drop. Because if you throttle up, you REMAIN at 30km/s . You always remain at the speed where the interdiction starts, no matter your throttle setting. #11) Other useful info: a) The size of the ship you are in determines the size of missions you get, and the size of enemies you get. You will receive deadly Anacondas on Wing Missions when you accept them in a type 9. You get smaller fish with smaller missions and smaller cargovessels than type 9. If your mission selection is crap, like serious crap, rather change the size of your ship class first before reverting to logging out to menu, as often times the missions will remain the same. Changing from Type-9 to a medium or small vessel mixes up the pool more reliably. b) Since you get standing for the particular faction, it makes raising rank for Federation/Empire a lot faster, especially if you have many of those agents in station. There are stations that have 4+ agents. Bribing them regularly also increases your standing and you will get more than enough money to afford doing so. c) It's a great way to get engineer materials hassle free because you essentially buy them, which is otherwise impossible. You give up a bit of the cut, and get materials for that. On expensive and wing missions you get tier 5 material that is easily traded down. d) NEVER accept cargo with the intention to sell it elsewhere for a bit more profit. It's a waste of time. If you want the cargo for RP purposes, then sure go ahead :) e) If you got your reputation up for the Empire first, and are now doing the same with trade for federation, grab the Imperial Cutter and make it a cargo vessel. It carries almost as much as the Type-9 and with turreted weapons + a utility+military only slot shield tank, you can get rid of Deadly Anacondas by yourself as they try to interdict you. And yes, you will end up with so much money with this formula that you could buy several fully fitted Imperial Cutters at that point when you're done with the ranking. 6:48 while it is true that there are some elements that are garbage (when it comes to illegal/ilicit goods where the game tells you "those slaves sell well there!" and you get there and you even makea loss on blackmarket) the starmap and trade filters can be used quite okay if you do not want to rely fully on the 3rd party tools. Especially finding your future home trader base, you can actually sort by scrolling through the starmap, and already make out possible spots before checking those out on the database to see about the distance to the sun. So it is technically 100% possible to get all the information you need from the search parameters I wrote about from the ingame map... you simply have to invest more time by manually flying there and discover the systems in question. If that is your jam, and hate 3rd party websites, then ED isn't worse. And for finding the goods you need for your mission, the principle remains the same, with the caveat that you don't see the amount left that 3rd party tools provide. I used a mix of starmap and websites to find many possible great spots. 7:49 Yes, it's BOOT time, not CHARGE time, for anyone curious what he is referring to. It means that if it's offline, it boots in 2 seconds instead of 10 at max level. This has nothing to do with CHARGE time. 8:23 why anyone would trade in open play is up to them, but in private and solo play, the NPC interdictors CAN be a nuisance if you are in a Type-9 and no police is around. Otherwise, don't bother with open play. Use private group or solo. It's totally fine to search for wing traders in chat, then make a private group with them if you so desire. 9:06 not more profitable than my mission trade formula, but still fun if you want to do something else and still carry things around :) In closing, you can rival high profile mining with a 4-player trading wing. If you follow these instructions above. And on top of that you get standing too. Mission rewards cap out at 50 million. Sadly. I would like them to remove that cap to allow proper scaling of high value goods and wing missions. By my estimations, highest payout for wing trade missions can go up to 75 Million which are completed in a single wing trip. Less, actually. Two and a half Type-9s.

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

Every once in a while you can find a trade loop on eddb.io that gives 45k/t profit, that's about the only time it is actually worth the time invested to do trading. A cutter can make around 35 million in less than 10 minutes doing one of these. Unfortunately those loops are pretty rare and the normal trade loops with 9k/t and a single loop profit in the cutter of about 6 million its just not worth the time.

oh that's a BGS part and generally it's stale and static with minimal changes.... commodity markets are quite static and dictated by the servers NOT the players!

[@RMMinc]

Oh, that's sad. I thought it's like in starsector selling guns and weed on a black market lowers stability eventually leading to outbreak. While selling needed supplies on conventional market do the opposite. Could be cool way to create ideal situations for certain mission spawn/trade routes, while earning a bit of money.

I'm pulling down 60,000 cr per ton. Just gotta know what, where to get it and where to take it. Netting a touch north of 15 mil cr for a 15 jump route round trip, or about 61 mil cr per hour if I'm flying casually and I'm just in a Type 9. #Spacetruckinglife

Anyone tried Fleet Carrier Trading? i mean, from INARA i noticed you can buy mining commodity for cheap and sell it having 300 000 cr profit per tone, but they usually are far away ;d unless you are lucky and find someone close

[@Kxgxshi]

Don’t trust Fleet Carrier Trading from Inara, I went to a system that was 117 Lys away from my system and I travelled there thinking I was going to make 500,000 cr per unit but they weren’t buying the commodity it said :(

The only commodity trade that is worth it is community goals and BGS stuff. Hauling biowaste to a refinery is nonsensical. Fill your ship to the brim with food or meds and sell them to famine or outbreak stations in the system over. Thargoid attacked stations will pay exorbitant amounts for meds as well.

you can absolutely clear 100m trading without missions when it's higher than 35kish/item profit. even faster if you learn how to cheese supercruise by manual throttling to blue at 4-5 seconds and only spending 10 seconds or so decelerating out of supercruise lol

just check inara for trade routes and don't go on any that are farther than 500 or so ls and you can blaze thru back and forth. often times there's a route clearing 45k/good

[@Sammie1053]

Important tip: use filters. There are way too many fucking fleet carriers out there, and things like tourist beacons or asteroid belts that are only useful if you're doing a specific task or are a completionist. It's way easier to pick a nearby system if your navigation panel for the current system only shows planets, moons, and stations. If you got interdicted close to the main star you can even just scroll up a few ticks to get to the bottom of the systems list.

They need to take a note from eve online and the community tools for enhancing their economy simulation. Because really it's sad.

[@markhackett2302]

Yeah, 100% wrong on the mining tip. You spend your time MINING. Not trading. You trade in ED for the same reason you'd play Euro Truck Simulator. What needs changing is the ability to plan routes and arrange cargoes in-game, because the game itself when using the given tools undoes all the chill relaxation of hauling biowaste to the farmers' market so you can come back with golden goose eggs is removed when the tools say that there are plenty of goose eggs and they can be sold for a lot in $THIS system only to find out that it is considered an illegal good in that system and you can't sell it. Oh, and you can't buy those golden eggs, 'cos they're illegal goods in the farmers market too. The advantage all you people should be getting from mining being high paying is NOT "WAAAH! I WANNA HAVE MY THING PAY OUT MOAR!!!!", but "Phew, glad it pays out 10x as much so if I feel I need a cash injection from mining, I only have to do it for a couple of hours rather than all week". If it paid out less, your "argument" goes away, but all you've done is make it harder to make the money you complained about not being able to make. How smart is that?

I can give another reason why not to do trading, even in solo space. NPC interdiction. On the rare occasions I go to try out of mission trading I still regularly get interdicted. Yes it's relatively easy to avoid, even in a Type-9 but it's a right pain and costs time and saps will. If I want to fight pirates I'll equip a ship and head to a zone. If I want to carry goods and risk NPC interdiction. If the f*ck muppets want trading to be a reason to play the game then they need fix how they've implemented the game - and that's never going to happen. NPC interdiction is so broken I'm getting attempts on me when I've no cargo in high security zones 1tf. rant over.
