Thanks for those tips Gim - you know the game well :) If you want, you can also try to mine Nividium. Use commercial agents rather than MORT, and like UT's, make sure they have good ships (avoid video enhancement googles in those ships). Vice versa, build soyeries and buy cheap beans and energy from the paranids. You also need to cash on the station, because the traders use the money of their homebase (or your personal cash, if they are not assigned to a station).įor the beans it is best to build a Soyfarm L (or a complex of then) and sell the beans to empty soyeries. Personally I assign them to my headquarters, but andy cheap station for 300 K Credits will do the job. Needless to say it should be a distinct station so you don't get confused with what the station earned and what comes from the traders. To track their income, just assign them to a homebase, which an be any of your stations.

Certainly it and the Demeter have enough shielding for you to intervene when they are being attacked in pirate space (UT's have the annoying trait to not use their installed jumpdraive in pirate space) or to jump out by themselves in allied sectors. The Caiman SF II I meantioned above has enough firepower to wreck most ships that are faster and outruns most heavily armed ones. This comes at the price of high investment costs first, so you need to have a formidable budget, but in the long run it is worth it. I cannot stress enough to get decent ships first, and then equip them with all upgrades and extensions. If you have slow ships with only the bare minimum if equipment (25 MJ shield and poor weapons) in combination with not fully maxed out cargo space you have high loss rates and poor income. Yeah the important thing for universe traders are that they have decent ships.
