one guy on the forums said that he can make 50m in an hour. assuming he's using a 5k, I worked it out, and that means that that route is still two thirds better or double my route or something like that. so yeah these aren't the best routes but here they are.
optronics from honshu to scarborough station 18 min.
super alloy from scarborough station to honshu 18 min.
5 jumps
profit 3864 per unit in 36.
I always take the jumphole in tau 31. there are gunboat groups and battleships in newcastle.
note that I take the tau 31 jumphole in tau29 because I'm hostile to gallia. so if you aren't, and you take the jumpgate, you save a little more time. probably a minute or two.
silver from planet harris to kyushu
something from kyushu to shinkaku
terraforming gas from shinkaku to planet harris
don't remember this well enough now. if memory serves it yields something similar to the first because it can be done twice as much as the first one. I think there is also variations you can do with tsushima.
and this next one is
optical chips from california to scarborough station
toxic waste from scarborough station to cardiff mining facility
beryllium from cardiff mining facility to planet los angeles
takes about 31 minutes to do.
profit 3484 per unit in 31.
you can also involve texas in this run with nanocapacitor. didn't check if it is worth it to do that though. it makes it longer. you can get to the jumphole a lot quicker since they removed the zone around the sun, but it doesn't matter much now anyway where the armour is lot higher.
important to go from manchester to newcastle. there are wild and mollies in newcastle around the jumphole. so if you're not friends with the mollies that might get a bit iffy.
vips from aomori to freeport 4 is also good.
oh yeah and one more thing, I don't play on the server so I don't know how difficult it is to trade through areas that are frequented by people or camping jumphole etc.

i guess the small ore runs are better than any other ore/none-ore runs.
seek for Ore run's Between 3 or 2 systems....they are the best ones in whole sirius/game.

I use 1 that I found. From Tau 23, mine Berylium ore, then fly to Maine in Gallia, Planet Le Mans, sell the ore, I believe 53mill for a 5ker. Then go to Planet Maine and buy oil, then fly back to Tau 23 to Idochine Outpost and sell the Oil for 2.5k, which i think 12mill for 5ker. So your looking at 65mill per run, which takes 30 minutes there and back, I think.

Barge,jumper,cryo stuff and irridum stuff back, repeat 50 loops and you does not really need credits any more.
