Sunder's Trading Tips and Tricks
General:
1. Never spend all your money at once(should be obvious)
2. When interdicted, never fly straight ahead(possible debris field)
3. Powercycling resets the cooldown for Quantum Travel to 0.
4. To see on the dark side of a moon, set your graphics card to have 40% Contrast and Gamma of 2.00 if using Nvidia. May vary for your monitor and AMD. But you'll be able to see much better.
Illegal Commodities:
1. Vice commodities from the Yela Lab are high profit/low volume, but risky.
2. Don't sell Drugs at Grimhex. Everyone already does it leading to lower profit. Sell at Levski if you have >3 SCU worth or a Mining Outpost if you have less.
3. Don't sell Altruciatoxin before Widow. There seems to be a relationship between the prices and how much vice commodity a place will buy. Sell Widow first.
4. Don't sell more than 800-900 aUEC worth of drugs at a time unless you want to crash the price quickly. The place you sell may not buy more than that at a time as well.
Note: Most people are NOT dicks about this stuff and even if you see another ship or 2 at the Lab it 'should' still be ok to land and go in for purchasing the goods. Be careful and keep an eye out. Maybe even wait to get out until the other ships lift back off if you feel super paranoid. Be cool, don't draw a weapon until someone else does and stay calm. And LISTEN to all sounds.
Legal Commodities:
1. Iodine has the highest return of all legitimate items(25%). A full Constellation will net 800 aUEC profit.
2. Legitimate trading requires large volume but each unit has low return. Trade on large scale(Constellation or larger)
3. Don't overlook the profitability of Waste being sold at Grimhex from Olisar. 500 profit with a full Constellation if you're just starting.
Recommended Ships:
Small:
Aurora CL - Carries 6
Avenger Titan - Carries 8, very fast
Medium:
Freelancer - Fast, secure entrance/exit. Doesn't suck fuel like a bitch.
Cutlass - Good all rounder
Constellation - Great all rounder
Large(ie from Levski):
Starfarer - Great Capacity, slow
Caterpillar - Best capacity, better agility. 20K iodine nets 5K profit at Olisar.
