Boy gmoney202, you revived an old one here!
If you're playing X2, you can't go wrong following this guide. If you're playing X3, then there have been a few changes.
Argon Prime... Not the best location. Red Light or Herron's Nebula might have been better, but you still might make it work. You're going to need to get a selling ship. Then set your selling price to 19 or 20cr., limit your ships to traveling 1 sector and let her rip. Don't forget to make your crystal buying price 1684.
Don't expect to make any profits for a while though. It'll take a while for your factory to fill up on Crystals. Good Luck!

Well luckily for me having been playing for a short time it wasnt too much work for me to simply restart the game:) i think this time im going to set up in kingdoms end like everyone else and we ll see what happens then. The reason i had to restart is simple-there were NO crystals available within 5 sectors. i waited 2 hours before decideding that im better off just restarting the game(buying the spp about broke the bank) and doing things correctly this time. I am a playing x2 v 1.4 btw.
Also i m still wondering if there is a way to "Fix" the wheat farms? Im not sure what the cycle time is for wheat farms but i know it seems to be alot longer than the cattle ranch. and only producing 10 units a cycle is insane. in order to make the economy work it would need to produce closer to ~80 a cycle condsidering all the diffrent stations that rely on wheat as a prmary/secondary resource. Im going to post on the mods section too just figured id also ask here.

Thank you TD for making it real easy and fun to make CR 
Now i have a problem... Earlier today i got a SPP set up in Herron’s Nebula. My first one was in Kingdom's End which has been working great.
But in Herron’s Nebula iv lost 1 Argon Express (buying crystals) and 1 Boron Dolphin (Selling energy). How can i keep the Khaak from making my ships into dust? Im not getting a big profit out of needing to buy new ships all the time
Thank you for your help!
