Hello Discovery, I have a general question I have been doing this trading and general mining. I was wondering, when I do this I only make profit of about 4 - 6 Mill a run but it takes like 3 hours to really do, I have seen players talk about making 30 - 50 Millions doing like mining or missions is there any general tips on how to make a semi good profit? :mellow:

Stick at it, and eventually buy a huge ship, then you'll make the big profits. Good luck, and be diligent.

Mining ships, weapons and ID's grant bonuses to resource harvest rates. the ones making the type of money you were talking about before work in teams so the miners are constantly mining while their partners in transports move the resources.

This kind of question would be perfect for my Disco help channel on skype...

For mining Dusty wrote a excellent guide that you can find here:
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33187

For trading if you already have a ship with decent cargo hold i'd suggest grouping
with other traders, learn their trade routes. Those are usually the better paying ones.
Alternatively you could join a trading faction, there are a dozen to choose from and
they will teach you a great deal on making a profit while staying in roleplay.
Here is a link writen by Xoria to help people decide what kind of faction to join:

Hope this gets you started on the right path, bai

Dont mine, Its useless, boring, and inefficeint at making money. Buy an Adv. Train when you can, and ask me for Sprint Trade Routes, Supposedly "Eliminated" from this version, but not. :lol:

The key thing to making money in Discovery is time input. You have to spend the time doing it, or the rewards won't be what you're looking for.

Which actually is a pity, since I'm not really a trading person, as a result, I'm forced to make my Hunter fly a Sea Serpent:P
But as the others ave said if you have the patience, trade and get a big ship, and trade some more.

Pirate I say! And hunt codes! Sell them for 10 mil a piece, And pirate I say!....

A nice little pirate ship costs about 3 mil to start, 5 mil with a half decent armor... and after that it's profit all the way from there.... Find a trader, tax him hard! And be polite.
