OK, let me give you guys a brief background of where I am, then I'll give you my question.
What i have learned to be the most common way to make money in the begging is to run a few Deliverys, that type of stuff, just so you can get into a average ship. Well, I knew where i wanted to go, to the outer fringes, The Miruni, Izagar, those people. They have the ships, and in previous experinces playing EV:O, I had never really tried to hard out there on trading routes. Of course, there are two simple reasons for this : Renegas and far out planets. But that is what I wanted to do, so i set my eyes on a scoutship. I did some missions, and then I did the traderoute from Atlantic station to New Cattacla. That is one of the best, but I messed up once with my escorts(Ya know, when ya buy to many and ya cant buy the cargo) so i absicly had to start with 40k Credits. Anywho, I did that till i got about 200k Credits, then I bought a Scoutship and 2 munevering fuel things. This way i could explore without fuel worries. So i only had about 30,000, and i quickly learned it really wasn't enough. Despite the far out places between planets, the trade routes were very good, with alot of HIgh-lows everywhere. But after a few mouths i returned home and made some money, brooke a volian blockade, and I'm trying to do Paleen Station.
I can now purchuse a UE. Fighter. That would help with renegadas out in the fringe. But what about fuel and Cargo? Escorts out there are very expensive, and Because of the long distances between trade routes, they can lose money fast. I was thinking about shuttle craft, cause they are cheap and hold 20 cargo space. But i need advise on which ship i should purhcase in this situation.
Thanks
