Emalghion.

This is a good run because it's only zero jumps.

Fixed.

The Miser's Funeral (aka, the Girbn-Thehir run) is a great choice if you've got a suitable ship; try getting a Crescent Fighter with Heavy Freighter escorts.

Fixed.

Okay, zero jumps, but it seems you 're only making, at the most, 120 per Ton on the Equipment, and 60 on the Metal. Is that enough to make a whole lot of dosh in a decent amount of time? I'd rather loot renegades.

Not actually having to move has its advantages. The profit margin may seem small, but the speed at which you can perform the trade route greatly magnifies your profit margins. Especially if you capture, rather than hire, your escorts.

Somehow this just struck me as a great line to a computer/gaming audience :).

I didn't know about trading within Emalghion - it certainly sounds like an efficient way to make money early on. I've never really got into trading much in any EV, but I also tend to prefer having something else to do at the same time, like killing renegades, hence my earlier suggestion, and also I guess the Hatuli run, although I've not spent time on that myself.

Emalhgion run seems to be quite good.

I just made this topic to see if there were any good runs (as my feeble attempts brought me no joy plus renegades are over rated)
