So This Is How To Make Money

Today I am a step closer to buying my dream ship. I want an Anaconda, but a Python will help as a stepping stone. I started helping out the Federation with an expansion project they are doing. I thought (naively) that I wouldn't make that much of a difference just taking a few tons of Power Generators there. After all, it would take years for them to do anything, and in that time, I could go help the Empire with expansion as well - keep it balanced. Well, I had made several trips and ferried 384 tons over, when the Commodities Market suddenly shut up shop. It seems that some Empire pilots had hung around and caused a bust so the Market couldn't stay open. there went my idea of making a few million by the end of the week.
I muttered that in the bar and a commander came over to speak to me. He said that if I wanted to make some easy creds, then head over to Sothis. He said it was about 400 light years out, but that's next to nothing in an AspX. Less than an hour of travelling. So I finished my Lavian Brandy and set my navcomputer for Sothis. I had a look what they needed there, and filled up on items. May as well make a little something on the way.
It took 17 jumps to reach Sothis, and I sold the gear I brought for a total of about 23,000 creds profit. Then I looked on the Bulletin Board, and I was so glad I was in my pilots seat, or I would have fallen over.
"Take biowaste for 1.2 million creds"
"Take hydrogen fuel for 1.8 million creds"
He wasn't kidding. So I picked up five jobs that were over two stations and set off back. I made a little over seven million credits in an hour. I am stunned. My dream is coming true. I managed to break my 100 million credit barrier today so brought a round in the bar at at Lewis Orbital in NLTT 13249. There's a tab of 250,000 credits if you want a free drink there.
Just loading up on Consumer Technology for a 300k payout back at Sothis, and I'll be off again. Happy days are here again.
Fly safe, make money, have fun.
