When you run out of buyers for Fuel, look to full stations for very cheap goods.

Space Fuel can be quick cash very early on.

M4 and larger generally need to be shot down. Early station defense missions spam M5 scouts which will splat against the station in short order. Random missions will spawn quickly enough to get you some reputation and a little cash. Use this ship to scout out a sector for but/sell targets for your Mercury. One of the first upgrades you should get for the Discoverer is Trading System Extension. Selling some crates of Space Fuel is a quick return until you can scout out a good buying Ore Mine and a under stocked factory needing Ore.

The problem with Humble Merchant is that the player starts with so little cash. Use the Discoverer, as the Mercury is way too slow to avoid police. I like to start out ferrying some contraband and scouting out the local stations. One sector north there are Space Fuel Distilleries. If I remember correctly, Humble Merchant in Albion Prelude still starts you in or around Argon Prime.

It costs ~520k though, so there is a good few hours of manual trading before you :)

So now you have three potential systems to trade ore to.ДЇinally, to automize your Mercury, you need to first get the pilot to level 8, and buy a trading software MK3 in Home of Light's Terracorp HQ. there should be a couple more factories that use ore. From Home of Light go East to discover the Red Light sector. You should make a pretty decent money with this ore business. This will allow you to trade faster and outrace competition.

Also, upgrade your boost, cargo space, and maneuverability to maximum asap. Also, having any of your ships (or satellites) in system lets you access all prices from the map menu, even if you are in different sector. As soon as you accumulate some money (say around 20k), go to Home of Light and buy trading extension in Terracorp HQ (it will allow you to check prices without having to dock in a station). Buy at the factories for cheap, sell at Argon free trading station (problem is, they eventually stop buying those). Pretty good deal, you just made 400% of money invested.ДЄlternatively, you can try to buy and sell Cahoona stakes. No ore in magazines = they pay 205 per ore. If you're lucky, they will be running out pretty soon. So as soon as you warp in, go to the factory on your left. Now there are two factories to the left of the South Gate. This is the easiest way to start up: buy Ore in one of the asteroid mines (should be two over there, try both to see which one has it cheaper, it all depends on how much it has in magazines (aim for C50 per ore)), and head back to Argon Prime. Head South Gate to Home of Light, and from there South again to Ore Belt. Here is how I started (recommend starting over as humble merchant): Get in the Mercury, and put your Discoverer in Argon Shipyard in Argon Prime. Selling Mercury is the worst way to start: Discoverer is just a Scout, so it is virtually useless in combat (I eat Scout class ships for breakfast), and Mercury is the best way to start trading and hence making money.
