Trade Routes

[stone]

Smuggling is the way to go its fun, exciting, and there is always some one looking to tax, fine or just blow you out of the sky and let your escape pod do the wrest. If its thrills you seek I would suggest hauling the orange dream form Planet Malta or Ibiza base to Planet Manhattan or Houston if you decide to go to Manhattan witch has a better pay off for cardamine take passengers to Houston and take slaves back to Malta. I'm not going to tell you what routes i take because that might draw unwanted atention if you get with me in game we can start a convoy and ill show you some secret squeal routes!

Smuggling requires your constant attention though unless no one's online.

I only trade while doing homework, because it's easy to do it and I prefer to use my actual playing time RPing.

And yes, the upar-short Diamond/Niobium run is "oorp" in the sense that the trader is going places that would get him blown up upon entering, rather than take trade lanes and all that good stuff.

SPOILER


If I have an hour open for trading?

I like my special all around sirus route. It's not very RP, but then again my traders is just a means tto and end (credits for future projects).

Lets kick of at New York

New York (Boron) -> Leeds (and yes, I use the extremly hostile shortcut)
Leeds (MOX) -> Alpha (I love having to convince some of the more stupid outcast players that I'm bringing supplyes to power their battleships, they shouldn't shot me out of the sky:lol:And I use alot of shortcuts)
Alpha (Cardamine) -> Beta
Beta (alien oranganisms) -> New Tokyo
New tokyo(niobium) -> New Berlin (you got it, the bad bad bad route)
New Berlin (engine components) - Cambrigde
New London (Luxury food(?)) -> New York

I run all over sirus cashing in 15% less than if I used a uberroute. I visit borderworlds, outerworlds and houses. I meet pirates, outcasts, officers of the law and all sorts of other strange people and I LOVE IT!

If you know of a long traderoute timing around an hour or so. Please tell me!

Edit: major spolier warning

Me, I used to haul passengers from NB to the Helgoland, then Military Vehicles from Naha to Battleship Myoko, then superconductors from Deshima to Roppongi, and then Niobium back to the Ring.

NOTE: That keeps you on the lanes at all times. No OoRP jumpholes.

As a Zoner, imo, jumpholes aren't OORP as they seem to be quite knowledgable about space. Would gladly stand corrected if this view of them is wrong.

Traders like safety, seen in a lot of the pirate threads around;)I really doubt they'd go deep into non-tradelaned space/radiation infected space.

I've tried to forget, I've tried SO HARD to forget...

I have a very nice rp route for any outcast oriented smuggler type who hasn't bee found out yet.
