The OP is correct, moving the 'basics of life' (food, air, water) except for specific food items doesn't make you any sort of $$ at all.

The thing is you can actually make a lot of PROFIT from doing it, but to make any sort of real money means having to do it a LOT.

You can pick up oxygen or water for instance on most planets fairly cheap, as low as $5 a unit I think and there are places that will buy it for as much as $100 a unit.

Thats a huge profit, compared to what you pay out, but even with a major trade vessel (4500 cargo) thats only $427500 profit......

Lets imagine that water is pumped into a ship, it would fill every nook and cranny of the hold. Lets say that 1 unit of water = 0.25 cargo, that would make the profit almost decent, close to $2 mill.

Oxygen would be compressed for transport..... work that one out.

Edit: meh just read what I posted, sorry if it doens't make a lot of sense, I'm at work and I'm sorta rushed for time.
