Until recently trading was just about the only way to make money. Although there are now other options, trading cargo widgets is still the most profitable means of acquiring your own personal fortune. The basics of trading is a simple concept. You buy cargo at a low price and sell it someplace else for a higher price. Easier said than done. Discovering a good route can be a long process, but the rewards are well worth it. One simple way is to load your ship up with as many single cargo widgets as you can fit. Ships like the [[Ships:Centaur|Centaur]] can hold up to 48 different types of cargo allowing you to carry many types of cargo. Don't give up if you don't find a good route right away.

! [[Ships:Wraith|Wraith]]! [[Ships:Atlas|Atlas]]! [[Ships:Centaur|Centaur]]! [[Ships:Marauder|Marauder]]! [[Ships:Behemoth|Behemoth]]

*The [[Ships:Wraith|Wraith]] is the perfect entry level trading ship. Enough weapons ports to keep you safe, and enough cargo room to get you through the basic trade missions.*The [[Ships:Atlas|Atlas]] is a decent trading ship, but once you have a [[Ships:Centaur|Centaur]] you can pretty much ignore this one. It is fast and has plenty of cargo room. But often is easy prey for pirates.*The [[Ships:Centaur|Centaur]] slow and hard to move this ship has often been ignored by traders with access to the [[Ships:Marauder|Marauder]], but it does its job very well, and that job is to move large amounts of cargo in one go. The Centaur has the ability to carry two sets of mines, enough to send any pirate to their grave.*The [[Ships:Marauder|Marauder]] is the fastest cargo transport ship in the game. Its [[Template:Factions:TPG|TPG]] variant can carry up to 48 cargo widgets, and the [[Template:Factions:Tunguska|Tunguska]] 60. Although it lacks L port weapons it can still fend for its self or simply speed by any pirate blockade.*The [[Ships:Behemoth|Behemoth]] is yet another win for the [[Template:Factions:TPG|TPG corporation]]. When you need to move large amounts of cargo, the Behemoth is your ship.
