X3 Profit Guild Guide to Opportunities for Profitssss

[UnderLord]

If no one has posted this yet.

For starting out sector traders i find power circle is a good place to go within 2.5 hours my sector trader made 410,000 credits, he has like 1035 cargo holds i forget the name of the ship its like teldi tanker or touror or some crap like that. But anyhow thats my 2 cents, i also read power circle is a good place to start sector traders.

Tsar,

I've seen no mention of the Si trade. Since it was such a cornerstone of the X2 Universe I'm surprised no one else has reported on its virtues.

With a buy price in the low 200's, a sell price in the mid 700's, and able to carry almost 200 of them in a Merc's cargo hold, that's a potential profit of 100,000 Cr. in one load! Repeat as necessary and as opportunities arise.

There are multiple Si trade opportunities in the "core" Boron, Argon, and Teladi core sectors for the eagle-eyed.

Buying opportunities are often found in
Queen's Space
Power Circle (this one seems to fill-up quite often)
Ceo's Buckzoid
Spaceweed Drift

Selling opportunities often found in
Home of Light
Rolk's Drift
Seizewell
Greater Profit

These have kept me pretty busy with just 2 freighters. I'm starting to assess other Si opportunities and will report m findings.

FYI, although other sectors contain either Si producers or consumers, I find they're often not trading at attractive prices.

Empire's Edge in paranid space is a goldmine for sector traders, there aren't enough AI freighters to move the energy cells to the soya farms or the soya beans to the soyeries

There's always something in this sector to buy.

One thing I noticed which I haven't seen mentioned here is that the Paranid Trading Dock in Trinity Sacnctum buys Space Weed for MAX price, giving you nearly 2000Cr extra profits over the average price.

It is the only Paranid station to buy weed (at least in that part of the universe), so if you've got any spare head on over there.

Cheers,

Rob.

Silicone wafers can make for good profits. Buy them in Power Circle (2), Herrons nebula (1) for 200-300cr and sell them for 600cr or more in argon prime or home of light.

This is one of the best guides I know! Thank you much!

[solice75]

Thanks for the Guide.

Here's a tip that may have it's place somewhere...

I've been playing for a few weeks and the most profitable complex I'v build are Whisky and Weed complex.
I build at least a weed L complex (BlissPlace L + Narcotic Station L) and a Whisky L Complex (Wheat farm L + Distillery L) in EVERY sector where there's Solar Power Plants...
1 huge transporter to provide energy cells.
And there it is...

You Need a TL of your own to buy the L versions of the stations so it's not a very starter tip.

Even in Teladi Sectors, where there's a lot of Narcotic Laboratories, it's very profitable. I've never more than 20 or 40 in store.

The incomes are great and it's very easy to set up and manage...

[deathweels]

great , given me some ideas

[Mountain_Monkey]

I could swear that my Argon Mercury level 9 pilot wouldn't start up UTM until I equipped the Mercury with a weapon (Alpha PAC). Maybe this needs to be added to the list of requirements for starting a UTM.

[egamadeus]

Nope, I have never put a weapn on a UT, it is not required at all. Plus, it encourages them to run if they are attacked.

I wonder why yours wouldn't go? :greubel:
