' Wrote:a better idea is to close the gate off like that one dude before mentioned so that people cannot just randomly use the gate, but add a non-mappable JH to both New York and Alaska that brings you between them. That way, normal peeps can get through if they take the time to locate both holes. In addition, the JH could have its vicinity INFESTED by nomads on BOTH sides so that it is hard to use. So, in NY the 5k area around it would spawn like 8 assasins and in alaska system spawn like 12.

This seems a fair compromise to me.

Xoria even said the Profit from the routes are based on the distance you go.

Going through berlin with artifacts does not justify only 13 million profit for 50 minutes of travel.

SO its ment to go through alaska and that is not oorp.

Unless they add Artifact routes currenly newyork is the only crackhole that will buy them.

' Wrote:I like this idea it is a smugger route why do i gota use the gate every time ?

Here comes the flame ( ZOMGBBGQTF WE WILL NEVER STOP THEM THEN )

thruthfully all u gota do is sit on the lane near area 51 or close buy im only headed 2 places manhatten or ronchester u can give ahead warning.

' Wrote:The profit/time was meant on legitimate routes. Just like no one would go from an IMG base to an OC one and back.
Furthermore, Gamma to New Berlin isn't 50 minutes of travel unless you go impulse. :lol:

See that? You made me laugh so hard I was forced to use a forum smiley. I never use forum smileys.

For christ's sake, the Gamma -> NB route takes 11 minutes, plus or minus 3 if you're exceptionally fast/slow.

Heck, you can get to New York in 19 minutes without using Alaska. In fact, using Alaska takes LONGER than the other, completely in-RP route the Corsairs have available. Not to mention you can head to Islay or Planet New Tokyo for equal profit as Manhattan.

Newyork pays 2433 at manhatten
2350 at ronchester
2171 at texas
1870 at planet new tokyo per unit the best choice is newyork hands down.
Quick edit yes it actually is alot faster to use the lanes going from gamma
41 5 cambridge newlondon manchester cortez cali newyork

Or i can save the effort and go Gamma kappa Delta Minor Alaksa newyork.

3 less systems i gota go through and nobody bothers me till i get to alaska i risk beeing cought in almost every one of those systems its Risk vs Profit and the whole adding a jumphole in alaska to newyork i support that idea but a good place for that jumphole to come out is near the cali gate imo.

' Wrote:Yes but if your a good smuggler such as my self i dont use lanes i avoid them at all cost rogues and outcast
both pirate the lanes and the navy hangs close to them as well not to mention the texas > ny jh comes out in the banlads had i pop out there and there is a rogue near buy and they see artifacts ima go boom.

I dont use trade lanes for a reasion mostly because i troll forums while flying 20k above them.

' Wrote:That's the risk you take as a smuggler. Go fast and possibly get caught, or go slow and possibly not get caught. Don't complain when it is yourself doing it..
Now judge the travel time. Sell price isn't the only factor. If a base bought it for 10,000 units but took you 2 hours to get there, it makes less than a base buying it for 5,000 units that only takes 30 minutes..

It's longer to Manhattan than to Planet New Tokyo, Islay, or Texas. If you want exact numbers, going to Manhattan with 5,000 Artifacts will get you a profit of 11,035.79 credits per second. Going to New Tokyo gets you 10,971.61 credits per second. Islay; 10,497.18 credits per second. I see little difference between the Tokyo and Manhattan routes, and only a tiny bit lower for Islay, but that is extremely secure.
