Hi all

New to Evochron.

Was just wondering what to trade and where to trade?
Are there any hints tips for starting as a trader?

Cheers

Sure! I would be glad to help.
The secret to trading is tol buy low and sell high.
That being said, I would suggest you keep pen & paper handy and make note of the prices for various commosities as you explore and visit stations/docks. Then you can get an idea of what is what. Although the economy is constantly changing, you can get a pretty good idea.
To expand on this study your nav map and you will see that there are 4 basic economies and you should be able to trade one commodity to another system based on a different commodity. As you build a better shuip and can travel farther, you can discover some very lucrative trade routes.
Good Luck & happy hunting

:cool: And, remember, you can buy and sell cheaper at a station where you have a license or one you've built yourself. Once you get enough credits to build a station, try heading into high-tech territory where prices are high and then build your station nearby. Buy at your station and sell at most any nearby station ... their prices should still be high.
