I think it will be helpful if everyone would share the most profitable trade route they have found. Money seems to be hard to come by in the ammounts you spend it.
With what little searching i have done i found this route:
Weapons from Valkyrie Prime(Valkar system) to ConEx Corporate HQ(Bruneli system). With 6 Bulk Freighters there is a 500,000cr profit.

Well, I was going to keep this a secret, but since this topic is here...
You can buy equipment for low (288 cr./ton) in the Rostov system and sell it for High (450 cr./ton) on Luna. There is a disaster that is almost always active on Luna that raises the price of Equipment to 1,360 cr./ton. With seven bulk freighters, one run will yield a profit margin of nearly 4 million credits... That's how I got my Kestrel. Even when the disaster isn't active, the profit margin is still over half a mil.

F*uck the kestrel! Go to the Merc/Hunter station and get yourself a Terminater(based on Mega Kestrel). The damn thing can sit in front of a fleet and win if you outfit it right.

The only bad thing about the Terminator is that its shields almost don't recharge. It has this insanely slow recharge rate. Nevertheless, this ship really should be mission bit controlled. The fact that it is better than many factions' best warship is really bad.
I'm also kind of annoyed that Tim has left the Easter Egg oops from HoD in this one. It is way to easy to make money that way.
Anyway, I'm about six missions into the Earth string. Pretty cool so far.
(Oh and my favorite beam weapon of all time is back! Long live the Compressor Beam!!!)
------------------ I do not smirk. But if I did, this would be an excellent opportunity to do so.
I haven't found the Terminator, nor have I seen it flying anywhere. Where is the station to get it? I shucked the Kestrel and bought the 25 mil. Atinoda cruiser (can't remember it's name; starts with a C, looks a lot like a Kestrel, but with a little ring around the the tails) and I decked the hell out of it. It started with 300 shields and 350 armor; I upped it to about 480 shields and 920 armor I also added engine upgrades, fuel pods, the Mk. II Ramscoop, jump enhancers, and all the essentials (IFF, density scanner, auto refueller). I disabled three Bloodletters and barely took any damage to my armor. It kicks a lot of ass.
EDIT: 2600th post. And I found my lucky duct-tape hat. I'm happy.

OK BIG SPOILER. Don't read on if you want to find this ship for yourself.
The Terminator can be found in the merc system of Onedin (see the map that came with the plugin). I refuse to get it as it is way too powerful and makes things kind of boring. I too have a Condor and love it. I have four Neutron Turrets (which I think are better than the shockwave turrets because they are faster and more accurate even though they are less powerful) four antiparticle guns. All the engine, shield and armor upgrades, tactical bombers and turreted hyper-rockets (because they're cheap). I am now working for the Confederacy and am around seven missions into the string.

I'm about to try and take some hardcore sessions and go through Tim's various plugs. I haven't played 3 of them yet, and I've barely played Empire and RoP, so don't call me stupid. (Whimperwhimper* Please?) AHEM. What Easter Egg oops?

I was able to buy all Atinoda and Faction warships just last night. What is taking all of you so long?

The oops in question is the equipment disaster on Luna. In HoD you could buy it low on earth and sell it at the insanely high price on Luna. If you got a bunch of the heavy transports you could buy anything after a few trips. I don't know which plugins you've played yet but I highly reccomend HoD as I think it is by far the best of the Empire plugs. I never liked the original that much as it is too much like the original EV. I think Tim ought to release a version 3.0 with the plugin completely revamped so that it is much more streamlined.
