Well now I've been playing Privateer 2 for a couple of days I was
wondering if someone could recommend a decent trade route for racking up
the old credits quickly ? The trading seems to be more difficult than
Elite in that most planets have similar prices and not much of each item
in stock....

A short route with trade both ways would be nice !

Cheers, Adam.

In the beta, when I was bored, I just go to Bex and buy all the beer and
sell them on Hephsomething.

Usually gets 75%-100% profit.

I was trying to make a list of the min/avg/max prices and stocks of good at
the planets and stations... but if I ever want to get this finished in my
life, I will need some help - some Field Researchers... :)
If you who are reading this, want to assist, then please write down the
prices and amounts of trade goods that you find on the planets/space
stations that you visit (making sure they are not influenced by a current
event) and send these data to me by email; I'd then try to process them,
analysing them statistically and compiling a list to post here on the
newsgroups...
I'd be forever in your debt...

I have found Hermes to Anhur to Hermes a quick and profitable route.

Fill your cargo ship with Brikcrete, Titan Alloys, Plasteen, Bipolys,
Enviro Suits, Power Loaders until full.

Go to Anhur

Fill your cargo ship with pretty much any of the Ore's

Return to Hermes

This is a 3 Jump trip. If you start with a 1500 ton cargo ship and about
12000 credits you can make about 4000 credits each way. Hope this helps.
