Xenon ships are lovely in this game. If you download the Bala Gi mission patch the Xenon LX m3+ fighter. It is soo overpowered compared to the rest
The big money earner seems to be "illegal" factory complexes such as space fuel and weed. Or lots of UT (there seems to be a cap around 20-25 tho then they start out compete themselves which aint good
)
With that said i personally find capping the best way in early game, since it both give you better piloting skills (irl). Net you nice cash and manual trading can be a bore sometimes
Also remember to check bulletin board in stations for assassin missions. Nice fast money and rep
