What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Colin The Grey]

If just going for a trade build - I would suggest a Type 6 with something like this loadout:

No weapons as you aren't a fighter, D rated equipment apart from FSD for lowest weight = longest Jump Range.

Shield boosters to help you live long enough to boost out of trouble if interdicted by an NPC.

That would give you 100 space for cargo and a jump range of 19.5Ly Fully Laden.

Sounds good to me Colin. Thank you

KK, so I now have 1,080,466 credits and a new Type 6 Transporter costs 1,045,945 to buy. That would leave me with 34,521 to spend.

Or I could trade in my Hauler and pay 656,472 leaving me with 423,994.

I would like to keep my Green Cobra but the part exchange is tempting.

My hauler currently has 40t cargo space, but I'm not sure what the default that the Type 6 cargo capacity is. Is it the 16+16+8+8+2 (50) that shows on the shipyard show room details, or is that saying that's the most you can upgrade to?

[Colin The Grey]

Default is 50T yes, max possible on the T6 is 112T - but that would mean flying without shields

Also remember you will need enough to always cover your insurance and enough credits to buy cargo, I waited till I had 3m+ in the bank before I got my T6, 100T of high value metal isn't cheap . I had chaff and point defense on mine and good boosters.... you'll need good boosters.

The Mars High station looks vary nice and new.

Oops, wasn't paying attention and crashed into it, destroying my ship. Thankfully I have insurance

I always say that you need at least double the credits to properly outfit a ship, triple is golden if you can wait(which is hard to do!).

Especially with trading, don't spend all your credits or you'll have none to buy stuff to trade.

Flying a fairly short trade route that has me netting a 77,200 profit per round trip.

Cargo hold = 40 T
