Steps

  1. Travel to the Ashland settlement in Pyro and access the local commodity trade console.
  2. Purchase up to 64 SCU of E'tam at roughly 16,294 aUEC per unit, requiring approximately 1,040,000 to 1,050,000 aUEC in upfront capital.
  3. Send the purchased containers to the freight elevator and secure the cargo boxes to the ship's cargo grid using a tractor beam.
  4. Fly across Pyro, transit the jump point into the Stanton system, and set quantum travel to Wala in the ArcCorp system.
  5. Land at Samson & Son's Salvage Center on Wala and unload the cargo containers into the scrap yard freight elevator.
  6. Access the salvage yard commodity terminal to sell the E'tam at approximately 27,014 aUEC per unit, generating around 680,000 to 690,000 aUEC in net profit per 64 SCU run.

Risks

  • Substantial upfront capital requirement exceeding 1,000,000 aUEC that is completely forfeited if the ship is destroyed or pirated.
  • Samson & Son's Salvage Center is an unmonitored lawless location with high risk of player ambushes and piracy.
  • Inter-system jump point transit exposes the ship to interdictions and hostile encounters.
  • Outpost freight elevator malfunctions may require server switching to retrieve cargo.
