People who like spreadsheets do EvE and people who know space is big and mostly empty play Elite. None of them are simulators... People who like simulators play Kerbal.

    If you want to maximize your rare goods hauls, Leesti is right next door to Orrere, and George Lucas station is the only station on the galaxy that offers TWO different rate goods (Azure Milk and Leestian Evil Juice).

      It does offer 2 but both in very small quantities (24 and 14 I believe) so better to go to other systems that offer 128 at a time. Merits are per item sold not per cost of item as well.

      @@AtlasRandGaming And if you had a carrier, just jump the most close you can to the station, do some runs with a ship that had more than 128 tons capacity and store it in the carrier, when you have a good stock jump to a system of your faction at more than 150ly, and with a large ship of more than 600 tons make some runs to sell it, you can easy make a profit of 10m credits or more and around 10.000 merits for run.

    CMDRs, be aware that a player faction called The Code owns Orrere and the station featured in this video. They’re pirates in the true sense of the word, not gankers. If you play in Open, as you should, they will “request” a share of your cargo to use their services. I suggest you play along, give them what they ask for and you will live to tell the tale. I paid my dues today and was allowed to come and go as often as I wanted… until tomorrow. o7

    1 - Pristine
    2 - metallic ring
    3 - High or Haz spots
    in 20-25 min I mine 400-450 Platinum with no sweat. Land in any base with big land pads. Sell the load ( 4-10 millions pure profit) ; You get 30-32 tones per stone, in the right place. 3 class 5 A collector limpets will eat all in no time.
    4 - enjoy 15-20 000 merits per run.
