I'm stuck in a rut. I can't seem to be able to progress anywhere. I average at about 200e constantly. Do a smuggling run, get paid, buy fuel and supplies, sell port info, do another mission, buy fuel/supplies. I haven't been able to upgrade my ship or anything because i can't seem to make more money. Any profit is spent on fuel and food and i'm back to less than 200e. I know I can't be doing things right because I read threads about people buying new ships and such. I can't even begin to fathom that! It's a stretch just to but a new engine! I could use some help. Come captains, lets share a drink and discuss our trade by the candlelight.

Go with Sir Fredericks suggestion, it has the highest profit margin and don't forget to hunt the Lifebergs by Wither.
Btw Lifebergs, better to use Flee instead of Evade. It's got 1 second less warmup time (5 vs 6) which makes a big difference because they can Crush you easily if your illumination gets too high. Also run back to Whither to save your game every couple of Lifebergs. It really sucks to kill 4 and have lots of nice loot then get crushed by the 5th.

Happy to accept most social actions; will help with menace reduction if it's reciprocated.

Lifebergs have been a godsend for me (oh please gods of the Underzee, don't nerf them): easily avoided through evasion, they die with 4-5 shots max (54 iron) and they have tons of goodies.
The only thing you need to be careful, is not to let them close the distance to 40 yards without having an evasion move already underway (it cancels their devastating attack).
I've actually made some money and scored some neat treasures.
