I just started playing EVO instead of EV, but whenever I try to run missions (specificly in the SW) I always get killed. But since im not familure enuf with the game i dont know where the mission goes untill after i except it...anyway i was wondering if anyone has good commodity routes within 1or2 jumps...(i looked for another post on this and didnt see one, sorry if i missed it)

On Earth pick up equepment and take it to first centari. Sell the equpment and buy food. Sell food on earth. Repeat until yov can upgrade to the scoutship and then the the Freight coureir.
P.S. when a U.E. officer says something about a military thing, DON'T ACCEPT!! When you get a Fright Coureir and a combat rating of avrage or better go to Pax in the dogovar system. It's on the far left side of the map. po to the bar and accept any mission that a voienan offers you.

Well, there is a Pax-Omm-??? thing.(I don't remember the last stop. But it's somewhere on the board, Try a search for crassworms.) You buy crassworms from Pax, sell them at Omm, buy medicle suplies,(Unless the monks are on strike) take them to the last stop and sell them, buy equpment and sell it on Pax. Repeat untill desired amount of credits is reached. And you probobly want to wait until you have a freight courier, since Pax is a war-zone.

That means that you should do at least 1 mission. 90% of missions are safe unless you have to pass through a uninhabited system to meet a dead line. Then you'r on your own.
P.S. try to get to the thoso system without giting killed. It's hard for a shuttle, But if you can land at New Chicago and get the Steller Corp. missions then before long you'l be rolling in credits.

I think the game has a few ships that it dosen't think that it has cargo unless it's your ship.(I think the game thinks that ships that are best at combat have done mass upgrades until it dosn't have any cargo space left.) And no, I don't have an instant message system.
P.S. Have you joined the voinians yet? I just finished destroying verril prime as a voinian.

A some-what safe route would be Tulir to Ariane. Buy medical supplies on New Riga in the Tulir system and sell them on Telnan in the Ariane system. The two systems are right next to each other. Every now and then, Telnan will raise the price of medical supplies, so you get a major profit on when that happens. If you have hired 6 Marinu Heavy Freighters, you will get a profit of about 440,000 credits per return-trip. That's not too impressive compared to other routes, but you will get something like 2 million credits (profit) if the price on Telnan is raised (it will say "higher"). It's amazingly satisfying to sell at such a price.
If you're feeling dangerous, you can also trade metal on the return trip, but I don't recommend it because the price of metal on New Riga often goes way down (it will say "lower"). It's just too risky. Besides, you don't make much profit for it, and you'll just wear out your mouse button that much faster.
This is, in my very humble opinion, the fastest (in terms of real-life time) and easiest way to make money. I even like it better than the Saalian Brandy route.
Another way to make money is to get a badass ship and disable board Renegade vessels. You get a high combat status and social standing in the process, not to mention possible escorts.

I found another good route, short and safe in UE space.
Start at New Tokyo, buy Luxury. Two hops to Paaren. Sell off and buy Medical. Two hops back to land on New Calcutta. Sell off and land back on New Tokyo to start over. A nice short route using the two high margin commodities, which minimizes escort fees. Also this route only gets better after the Paaren Station missions (medical gets cheaper).
Tip: Before buying each time, check for special missions to your destinations. These are always worth more profit for the cargo space than pure commodities.
Happy trading...
