Thank you for the tool and info, but, what I was really asking was whether I have a decent income route going on if I am making $4664 per cargo unit every 34 minutes. I am new and don't have a full grasp on the game economy.
I'd say that is above average but not the best...
Also keep in mind to have optimal income you should see also what to bring back to your starting point.
Best to not ever have a empty cargo as a transport.
You also might want to look into gaining access to a player base that sells ore of some type and mix in ore runs with normal trading runs for extra profit. Also what ID are you flying?
Back and forth route with a single commodity one way and 3 commodities back to point of origin with a total trip time of about 34 minutes, rounded up. The run has a one trade lane hop where I am empty, but that hop nets a roughly $100 profit.
1) Never fly empty - even on short trips - small profit is better than 0 profit
2) Get access to PoBs that supply Ores (Oceana Shipping Platform in Cortez is a good one to try, as we have open docking as long as you have a neutral rep with Gateway Shipping)
3) Fly smart and keep an eye out for pirates. Hire scouts or escorts if you can, or don't be afraid to haggle with a pirate.
