In this blog post, we delve into the first part of a massive trading operation in Star Citizen, focusing on the process of cleaning warehouses, managing cargo, and the challenges faced during trade runs. We explore strategies for maximizing profits, the importance of teamwork, and the unique gameplay experience that Star Citizen offers as a simulator rather than a traditional video game.
The Concept of Cleaning the Houses Link to heading
The term “clean the houses” refers to the process of clearing out warehouses filled with commodities that players have purchased. The goal is to pick up all the boxes and deliver them to designated selling spots. This operation is crucial for maximizing profits and ensuring that players can capitalize on their investments in the game.
The Initial Setup Link to heading
At the start of our operation, we find ourselves at Bueno Ravine, where we have accumulated a significant amount of cobalt—256 SCUs to be exact. The strategy here is to loot surrounding boxes to give potential pirates a chance to attack us without risking our valuable cargo. By doing this, we can gauge the threat level and decide whether to proceed with our mission or retreat.
Managing Risks and Rewards Link to heading
In the world of Star Citizen, players must balance the risks of piracy with the potential rewards of trading. While losing a large cargo load can be detrimental, sometimes players are willing to take that risk if they have a budget that allows for losses. This mindset is essential for navigating the unpredictable nature of space trading.
The Importance of Preparation Link to heading
Before embarking on our trading journey, we ensure that we have essential supplies such as food and water. This preparation is vital for sustaining our crew during long trading sessions. Our operation spans approximately five hours, during which we utilize a replay function to capture key moments and streamline our content for viewers.

Loading and Unloading Cargo Link to heading
As we begin our trading operation, we focus on maximizing our cargo capacity. The Ascot ship has a grid capacity of 180 SCUs, but we often push this limit to around 300 SCUs. The process of loading and unloading boxes is tedious but necessary. We must ensure that we are efficient in our movements to avoid wasting time and resources.

As we wrap up the first part of our trading operation, we reflect on the complexities of mass trading in Star Citizen. The process of cleaning warehouses, managing cargo, and navigating the challenges of piracy requires strategic thinking and teamwork. In the next part of our series, we will delve into the selling aspect of our operation and explore how we turn our hard work into profits.
