After a good night's rest, I decided to do some shopping and check out what the local ship dealer had available. Much to my amazement, there was a really cheap Civilian Freighter class ship for sale that would still leave me with enough credits for upgrades and cargo to haul in it. I had heard many rumors about how profitable trading commodities can be and that it can be pretty interesting traveling all around Sirius (And dangerous).

According to my Neural Net and the commodities they had available, Luxury Consumer Goods to Planet Erie would be a good starter for some quick credits. I made sure to get myself as much of the commodity as I could afford before leaving. After arriving safely at Erie and selling my cargo, I wasn't sure what to haul next so I went on over to one of the bars and began asking around. From what I could gather, going into the Ralston Ice Field behind Planet Erie and blasting some of the smaller asteroids, could drop raw Helium which you could tractor in and haul to Planet Miura in Okinawa for a really good price.

After mining a full load of Helium in the cloud, I set course for Planet Miura and had managed to get there with no issues. They really weren't joking when they said Helium fetches you a good price over here. I made a total of 2,714,580 credits in just one trip! That was some decent credits but I still needed a lot more if I wanted to get my hands on a Universal Armor Upgrade Mk VIII, so I did a few minor commodity runs between the Houses of Sirius which I have listed here:

Helium-3 from Shuri Base to Aland Shipyard: [-]
Robotics from Aland Shipyard to Planet Junyo: [-]
Pearls from Planet Junyo to Planet Erie: [-]

On the last run I ran into two Outcasts in Shikoku who demanded 3 million credits from me. I will admit, I did lie and said I did not have that much credits when in fact I had just a little over that. But I wasn't going to give away everything I had worked for up until now. It took them a moment on what to ask for next but they then asked for my shield batteries which I gladly gave them. I mean, 90 shield batteries only cost 18,000 credits which is nothing compared to 3 million or even my life. After the transaction, they let me go and even said have a nice day. Quite interesting.

New Balance: 3,690,406 credits
