Commodoties

• Buying and selling goods is probably the easiest way to make money in the game. However, it can be kinda slow.
  You can make the most money if you read the News. A Bulletin indicating high prices on a certain planet will remain in effect for up to four landings - enough to make one trip; two if you're lucky.
• Illegal Black Market goods make the most money, but if the CIS detects your cargo, you have to fight them. Luckily, they forget the infraction after you land, and you'll be in the clear next time you fly. Because of the high millitary traffic around Hades, I'd recommend avoiding that nav point while transporting illegal goods.
• The shortest, and therefore easiest, runs are between Bex and Hephaestus, between Janus IV and Karatikus, and between Massanas and Ostinia.
