I looked around on here and gather that once you get a good reputation, more contracts become offered but it seems to be very hit and miss - I reckon I make more money on by boring/uneventful milkrun Aona-Biramibi. So I looked at contracts - the cargo ones seem to mostly be for bigger than I can carry (and making 2 trips would not get it in time.) and the parcel ones seem alright but there's little money in it. However.the ship I want, costs +£100,000 or so trade in, so its going to be a boring slog to earn the money there. I soon upgraded the cargo area to 35t so that means by round trip earns £2000+. Sometimes the price of fur varies and its worth buying liquor/wines instead but not much. I stumbled upon Aona-Biramibi which offers excellent prospects of £63/ton including the "backhaul", trading computers and furs. I know the prices vary, but there is a trend there and I keep my little spreadsheet updated with the most recent prices, and keep track of the averages too. And also you can quantify it, by working out the "profit per ton" by looking at the max and min (max negative.) price difference. And I figured out that by choosing 2 planets, then doing a price comparison of all the items, you can see which one is the most profitable to buy-sell. Anyway, after searching on here and doing the Leesti-Diso trade for a bit, I went exploring and during that time, I tabulated the prices of planets/worlds as I went along. The prices fascinate me and I love eeking out the most profitable way to do stuff. I enjoy more the trading/courier side of the game. I have added a bunch of stuff to the existing ship, mainly just to see what it does, but what I'm really after is a bigger ship. I'm not too good at combat, I always seem to lose and 9 times out of 10, end up dead (once I managed to fight/outrun them). I've been playing it the past couple of days, and I've kinda got the hang of driving the ship, docking, navigation etc. Well not real money, but the money in the game.Īfter a childhood fascination with an Acorn Electron (and other computers), and a fond memory of Elite, it was only a matter of time before I got into searching out an emulation or similar thing.and I'm delighted to have stumbled on Oolite!
