use Vespucci, Humboldt and Puerto Rico to reach the destination,
interdict trade lanes to Hudson and (preferably) Bering - the traders know it's quicker
and travel through Bering more frequently
There are Cruiser & Gunboat patrols at the Jump Gate to Bering ... selling Gunboat and Cruiser Captains
at Fortaleza is very profitable (known better prices on Malta only)
