1. Progenitor missions for Advanced Core and Anti-Matter Warp
   
2. Orbital farm within 1 AU of star with 100 pentaxid hydroponic tanks
   
3. CV with 10 640 containers plus progenitor tech
   
4. Friendly or neutral with Polaris, Trade and Colonists
   
5. Locate Orbital Advanced, Basic, Optronics, Robotics, Hydroponics, Alloy and Hydroponic Factory (Do their inventories refresh? Yes!)
   
6. Enough capital (20 million) to fill CV with trade.

That's my plan and I have the first 5 items completed and am %50 on the 6th. Then it just is a matter of grind, grind, grind. Maybe I can. Probably I won't

Some suggestions if anyone else is actually considering this:

1. Absolutely invest in a ship that can haul as much cargo as possible (example). You want to fill your hold and empty your treasury on each leg of Polaris-Colonist-Trade mission.
   
2. Find as many of the 1 million traders as possible. The Colonists only have an Industrial package at their Basic Component Factory that carries this price tag and only seem (in my play through) to have 1 in their inventory at a time. Locate as many of these BCF as you can.
   
3. Be sure your ship can repel pirates which are very common in Colonist space. You might want a ship that can go on the offensive in those combat sites just to have some combat to spice up your game and get some lucrative bounty tokens that not only improve your treasury but buff your reputation points as well.
