Capella - Nemesis trade run. Buy industrial goods on Capella (or it may be metal - check first) and sell it on Nemesis. Buy luxury goods on Darkstar (in the nemesis system) and sell them at Capella. Hire 6 light freighters to help you and always tell them to hold position when you enter a system. This way they won't shoot pirates with their single laser turret (pirates always follow you when you have a lot of freighter escorts) and so the pirates will never attack them. You'll have 10 million in around an hour...

It's industrial goods from Cappella to Darkstar, and Luxury Goods from Darkstar to Cappella... Yeah, it's the route i use when i get bored of pirating argosies for days at a time.

I find EVC the fastest of the series to earn moeny in. 25,000 for a rush delivery? Thats practically stealing. If you clever with it, its fast, easy and reliable money. Till I have a piratable ship, its my main source of income.

Urm, the only advice I could really give, is either use the above method to get a better ship (a rapier would work), or use the good old Monty Python! When in doubt, Monty Python the bugger, thats my advice...

You will earn enough money when you start working for the UGE. Until then work hard at transport , then buy a Kestral. Take pirate clippers as escorts.
------------------
Ok EVC is the easiest to earn money in. It practically grows on bushes, in fact it grows on mission computers.
The clipper is really a better courier than fighter, I'd suggest a rapier. I beat major strings and Confed Frigates in rapiers. To bad you can't sell that rear turret for a 360 degree turret. :mad:
As for defeating the Prototype carrier, I would suggest getting a laser turret for your clipper, it tracks rapidly enough to catch speeding mantas. use your proton cannons if they fly into your sights.

Do not take that advice. Clippers have an inherant AI of brave trader. They will not help you in your battles.

Taking fighters as escorts is fine in battle, but for capturing pirates and plundering them I find that the fighters steam in and knock out my chance of booty. I have no such problems with clippers, as you suggest they are afraid of their own shadows.

And therefore useless - you're doing most of the work anyways. You can also tell fighters to hold position.
Zax, you know better than some that if you have a Rebel Cruiser you don't need fighters of any sort

...when did a Rebel Cruiser come into this conversation? Besides, if you have a Rebel Cruiser you don't need clippers either.
Take over planets they willpay you money every day. I have almost taken over the hole solar system and I get paided 1million credits a day.
If you want $$$ via trade, do the Rupert run. Buy medical on Rupert (Persephone system), jump down to Clotho II, sell the medical, and but food. Jump up to Palshife and sell the food. Then go back to Rupert to start over. With a full complement of escorts (6 Light Freighters), you can make 100k net creds each round. It's the best route in the galaxy, if you ask me.
Note to you Feds :rolleyes:: this is all in Rebel space.
By the way, yomama, if you have taken over the galaxy, you probably have a pretty good ship and don't need any more money. Then again, if you've taken over the galaxy, there's (basically) nothing left to do.

Ya, $$$ isn't the best symbol. But then again, what would be?
