Trade Routes

Finding a rewarding route that meshes with your unique circumstances (available cargo space, reputation, cash resources, and access to the known universe), which are constantly in flux, is something that tends to be complicated. Just on the dynamic nature of your reputation alone, some routes will emerge as being more profitable, while others that have been profitable in the past may recede. The routes themselves are not changing, but your ever-changing orientation has an impact on what routes are better and the prices of all goods. There are some routes that are intrinsically more profitable than others. Here is a snapshot of good trade runs, assuming you follow the plot and the allegiances as they shift through the single-player game.
