KurakilSo what is the best avenue for trading these days that does not involve mining? I haven't done any amount of proper trading in years.

Got a big cargo hold and a few hours?

Two stations, round trip, less than 20 LY. Sort by last update.

Sounds good. I'll probably start doing some of that when I get back to the bubble in a few days.

With the increase in FCs, there's a lot of money to be made buying/selling tritium. You'll find plenty of supply for <48k/t and plenty of cmdrs paying 100k/t+ Gives near 40m profit per run in a t-9

I have an odd question but is there usually some kind of secondary thing that might happen if you make the top 10 cmdrs in a CG
someone was saying yesterday that they were curious to see what the top 10 would get from this current Salvation CG
is that something that happens sometimes, I know that you can sometimes get messages with new jobs from events like this or something like that.
Im just curious if being in the top 10 will give you some sort of secret rep boost with a faction or anything like that??
although I wouldnt mind being in the good graces of a mad scientist with the galaxy wide super weapon either

It will usually state if top 10 cmdrs get something in the CG listing itself. It seems to be only more credits most of the time (maybe all of the time). I'm not aware of any other benefits than that.

In the past, you received the Salvation messages just for visiting his asteroid base and/or taking his side in a CG. This CG however, is just prelim to the Azimuth endgame. No specials, no secret messages from here. The flowers will be with us before the weekend and something will kick off after Thursdays tick.

In general, CGs just give out cash, as Kurakil says, but will specify when something is being offered. Usually in a range of top 75%, top 25%, top 10% etc. Occasionally, they'll say number of cmdrs. eg.

Top 10%: Additional 3A Double Engineered AX Fixed Missile Launcher
Top 25 CMDRs: Alliance Chieftain
- CG 23 June 3308
Top 10%: Additional 5D Heavy Duty Hull Reinforcement Package
- CG 9 June 3308
The top 10 players will be granted an Imperial Hammer for their service.
- CG 24 Feb 3308
The top ten contributors of every past and upcoming Colonia Bridge initiative will be listed on these beacons to immortalise the names of these pilots.
- CG ending 10 Feb 3308
The top five contributors in Alcor will be invited to submit naming suggestions for the new starports
- CG 6 Jan 3308

Probably the most well known method is to use a fleet carrier's commodity market. Get a very large cargo ship (e.g. a T-9 with all cargo racks), fill it with the most expensive commodity you can get your hands on, and then flip it back and forth with your other account's carrier until all the money is where you want it.

Greetings. I wanted to know if the "investment" trait works at all? Is the population of the system really starting to grow and the system is evolving? Or is this just another trick that doesn't work?

It doesn't have to be your carrier.
It works with every carrier, as long as you can trust the owner.
Maybe, you can gently ask around here, or ask the Squadron "Fleet Carrier Owners Club" for help.
They are usually very kind people.

Azimuth Biotech doesn't need a permit; and is less likely to ask

System population and station type/amount etc do not change no matter what we do through BGS and regardless of active states. FDev godhands this stuff if and when it happens.
