The video describes one of the best trade routes in Star Citizen 3.17.2, suitable for medium and small cargo ships like the constellation Taurus. The presenter begins his trading journey in the R Corp system on Wallet. The first stop is Shady Glenn farms, where you can buy a large quantity of distilled spirits. Caution is advised when approaching Shady Glenn farms as it isn’t an armistice zone, and other players’ ships might be present.
The presenter then moves onto R Corp mining 056, where he sells part of the distilled spirits acquired at the farm and buys laranite. Something important to note is to avoid trade locations with red flashing NPC ships as this means somebody is doing a bounty at the location. Another vital rule is not to carry more than 10,000 units of laranite, as no location buys more than this at once.
The third stop is R Corp mining 045, where the presenter sells the remaining distilled spirits. He also buys the rest of the laranite he can carry, sticking to the 10,000 unit limit. The presenter advises traders to be diligent and cautious around other nearby players who might attempt to steal or interfere with your cargo.
Lira’s Orphanage is the fourth stop. It’s critically important to remember the location has no armistice, which increases the chance of hostilities from other players. Here, the trader sells all the laranite, but not exceeding the limit of 10,000 units at one go.
The route is repeated after finishing the sale at Lira’s Orphanage, returning back to Shady Glenn to buy more distilled spirits. This route is efficient and a quick way to make money. However, caution is advised not to carry more laranite than can be sold at once (10,000 units), as the extra cargo might lead to unnecessary risks.
When encountering issues getting 10,000 units of laranite in each trip, it’s suggested to perform a server hop by logging out in one region and logging into another. This strategy should ideally result in a fresh server where you can check quantities then.
In closing, the presenter thanks his Patreons and urges viewers to express their love to people around them. The message carries a personal undertone as the presenter’s father, also a Star Citizen player, is battling stage four cancer.
