So I was doing planetary settlement and station loops with gold and silver. I don't mind an incredibly slow grind because I'm a dad, and I love elite dangerous for its pacing. so the 4k~ profit per ton was ok.
I was using a DBX, with everything kitted as cargo (even got rid of my Shield generator) and was getting a profit per run of 300k. I was saving up to get a Python, because the system I was using had that, it has way more cargo opportunity, and I figured why not.
I used inara and found a very close system (10ly) had gold going for 300/t, and had 150 supply. I hopped over there and did a few loops. The station also had a ship that I could get now, the alliance challenger. I seen how much more cargo that had than my current so I grabbed that.
I feel like this was a mistake.
None of the modules I have in storage fit this ship, weirdly that this station sold this ship, it doesn't have any modules for it so I'm stuck with class 3s and I missed the fact that this ship has military cores that are useless for me. So I was going to go back to my DBX, but I can't. I had logged out for the night after the buy, and now it's not an option as a buyback.
The gold rush also ended, and now I can't get any decent profitable local trade loops in system (only a few hundred cr even with gold – nothing even is 1000cr~profit/ton in this system). I figured I'd jump back to the system I was using, and start over there because inara is showing the supply and demand haven't changed, and buying the data supports it.
I can't jump out of this system – It keeps telling me it's over my percentage jump limited, and it's because the ship didn't come with a fuel tank, at all, and nothing in system sells a fuel tank.
What do I do ¯_(ツ)_/¯🤦♂️🙍
Edit/update: thank you everyone for the tips. Amazing community :)it wasn't the fuel that was stopping me, it was my mass / FSD which I can upgrade, but I'm looking at dropping to 3s for the others for the time being, and dumped my hardpoints. Hopefully pirates leave me be. I got intersected a few times when I was trying to find a stop to offload the gold, but those are a big portion of my mass so that should actually save me for the time being to get out of this system.
Not being able to craft them sucks. Especially when everyone I talk to about it…
