In this video, Menenix demonstrates a profitable trade run in Star Citizen using the Hull C ship to buy distilled spirits at Checkmate station and sell them at Stanton Gateway, earning nearly a million aUEC profit in about half an hour. He also shares valuable tips on managing cargo loading, handling the Hull C, and a workaround for a common bug that prevents selling cargo, making the run efficient and accessible for players.
In this episode of Star Citizen, Menenix demonstrates a profitable commodity trading run using the Hull C ship in the PTU (Public Test Universe). Starting with over 15 million aUEC in cash, he identifies a lucrative trade route involving distilled spirits. The plan is to buy around 4,608 units of distilled spirits at Checkmate station, which has ample supply, and then sell them at Stanton Gateway, which has sufficient demand. Using SC Trade Tools for market data, Menenix confirms that this route offers a solid profit margin without the need for long-distance travel, making it an efficient trade run.
Menenix explains some limitations when using the Hull C, primarily that only a few stations in Stanton and Pyro systems have the necessary loading docks to accommodate this large cargo ship. He provides a list of these stations to help players plan their routes. He also discusses some technical aspects of loading cargo, such as opting for 16-unit spindles instead of 32s due to loading issues, and shares tips on how to manage the loading process effectively, including using command shortcuts and understanding the cargo interface.
After successfully loading the cargo, Menenix pilots the heavily laden Hull C to Stanton Gateway. He highlights the ship’s heavy handling characteristics, advising caution with speed and stopping distances to avoid accidents. Instead of docking traditionally, he prefers to land on a pad nearby, exit the ship, and sell the cargo directly from the terminal, which saves time. He also shares his experience with a common bug that prevents selling cargo from the Hull C, which turns out to be caused by the game mistakenly assigning the cargo to the player’s character inventory rather than the ship.
To fix this bug, Menenix removes his armor and gear to eliminate his character from the inventory selection list, allowing the game to correctly recognize the Hull C’s cargo. After this workaround, he successfully sells the cargo for over 2.5 million aUEC, making nearly a million aUEC profit from the run in about half an hour. He reassures viewers that this method is a great way to earn money efficiently in Star Citizen and encourages them to try the route themselves.
In closing, Menenix thanks his viewers and supporters, promotes his channel membership, and mentions an affiliate link to the Impound store where players can get discounts on ships and gear. He emphasizes the value of the trading run, the importance of the armor removal fix, and his enthusiasm for continuing to explore profitable cargo runs in the game. The video offers both practical trading tips and useful technical solutions for players looking to maximize their earnings with the Hull C in Star Citizen.
