A Brilliant trading route which is totaly safe! The
route is :

1: Go to sol (system)

2: Sell all equipment except for autopilot nav computer and
atmospheric shielding.

3: Buy enough fuel for a trip to Bernards star (near Sol)

4: Fill up remaining cargo space with luxury goods

5: Hyperspace to Bernards star

6: Go to a station (I used miller depot)

7: Sell all luxury goods

8: Buy enough fuel for a trip back to Sol.

9: Fill up remaining space on Robots or Computers

10: Hyperspace to Sol

11: Sell Robots or Computers for huge profit. (look on bulletin board
for special buyers)

12: Repeat until very rich.

To give you an idea of how well this works , in two hours of playing I got from a viper defence craft MII to a Griffin carrier!!

Usually, they will not come out on the exact time.. if you wait l ater, about 3 or 4 minutes, sometimes they come out.. I've had someone come out much later, and MY problem is that they jump into hyperspace immediately. However sometimes I try to launch a missile at them, and as SOON as I launch, there is an explosion, (my missile exploding right in front of me, and its not a result of ecm either) and then he disapears.. no hyperspace cloud or anything.. but about 5 miles out there is debris.. metal alloys.. I'd return to collect my bounty, and they say that they are disappointed etc.. Its pissing me off because I can't do any assasinations whatsoever! I too have it patched.
