I'd like to know how to do that! With SST that would take a 10 player corp. My rule of thumb is 1 mil per 100 turns with blue support (no turns wasted on moving or furbing). People always tell me my numbers are off, but I've consistently demonstrated otherwise. Unless they're telling me I'm not making enough. (I know about MegaRob, SDF, etc. that make more than SST.. but that much more?)

We do it on a daily basis with a single red. Three blues buy down three maxed xxS ports, single red then RTR's the ports, then we sell off the equipment on our planets. It costs about 5 million to buydown a maxed Equipment port. The red RTR's the 5 million back, we sell the product at another port for 7 to 9 million (7 million is on the -really- low side). 9 million clear profit per port, 9 ports a day. If we had the other two blues running buydowns, we'd be making over 110 million a day.

About 1.x... I thought originally you could sit at a xxB port and just buy-steal from it continuously, then by 1.03d it was changed so you couldn't sell-steal, then in 2.0 it became SST. But I could be wrong, I played a little 1.03d just because the board I played on was slow to update, then they went to 2b5 which is where I really got my start.
You are correct on this, and I was mucho wrong. In early releases of TW you -could- sit at a xxB and continuously steal-sell. That was changed by v1.03. In v2 ship transporters were introduced and that made SST possible. Sorry for the confusion in my earlier post.
