|
|
What are the most profitable routes to commute between? I'm getting a bit tired of shipping Electronics from San Fransisco to Cape Town, taking back Arms. Especially waiting at Cape Town to get a load of Arms is getting a bit old, especially with the risk of having my ships damaged by warfare.
The routes I travel most to are:
San Fransisco (Electronics) <-> Cape Town (Arms) = 4.5 + 2.0 = 6.5M
Tokyo (Electronics) <-> Rotterdam (Arms) = 3.0 + 2.5 = 5.5M
What routes (and goods) are you using?

hi,
i didn't play the old game for a long time, but if i remember right,
the route Houston Calcutta is also very profitable. ca. 4.5 mio.
sometimes you have to lay up a few days in Calcutta before you
can fetch the right freight.

I guess I need to pick up Electronics in Houston. But what should I wait for in Calcutta? Do they have Arms there as well? |

i just downloaded the classic version and played a moment.
first idea: Houston: Chemics (~1.1 mio$)->Calcutta
Calcutta: Textiles (~ 500000 $) -> Houston
but i remember to have had machines there with high rate as freight with limited time.

edit----
just found out that there sometimes are weapons in Houston.
you can transportthem for 2 mio $ to Calcutta |

It's been ages since I played the classic version, but I remember a sailing from Australia to South America. Think it was Sydney to Rio, with the occasional high profit stop in Cape Town. _________________ There are things out there that we do not comprehend, yet that does not meen that they don't exist |

if you want to make BIG money, simply buy the most expensive ships you can afford when prices are low, and sell when high.... ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

hi Eddy
me and my mum shared a game of Poc
and we always had just 1 route
houston <-------> Calcutta
now when i think of it ,,, hahaha
we had more then 100 biggest hightech ships on that route
so you couldnt see the ships anymore it was just one big line
and if we had to enter a harbour by hand we just pushed the Pgdn button
really cool
greetings Marco |

I take the Vancouver - Karachi - route. With the largest ship, I got an order worth $ 11 mill. within 36 days.
Normally, the Electronics orders or Arms orders can reach 3-6 mill.
But the return orders from Karachi is always Textiles worth about ½ mill.
Just remember: Vancouver Harbour is tricky to get out off on your own. |

Both in my old amiga days, and now on the iphone, still i find Houston - Calcutta route the most profitable. Sometimes as high as 8-10M during high economy.
I remember i had played long enough to reach 15 years and 1500M company value in the amiga version.. ![Arrow](images/smiles/icon_arrow.gif) |
