In game commodity events discussion thread

Holstein makes sense, actually. There's (according to infocard) high production of Industrial Materials for Rheinland and export to other houses, which means there's a huge supply coming from there.

Now, Iridum has a high number of industrial applications, mainly for high-temperature environments and fusion reactors (industry) and its corrosion resistance, thus its quite reasonable to see that Holstein imports it, considering that they create a big supply of Industrial Materials for Rheinland and other houses.

There should also be an unlawful sellpoint for it (Valetta?) to encourage unlawful cargo ships supplying unlawfuls with it, too and cause conflict between Casts and Corsairs in Delta.

Silly LordVipex, Valetta is OC base, IMG can't dock there. Isn't it obvious Iridium should be bought by Aland?...

Iridium deliveries should go to Industrial Material distibution points all over Sirius.

Cutting lulz, that's true Snak, it'd make sense, just like each ore type has few alternative buypoints.

It's actually better to keep the amount of high sellpoints for a commodity low to create piracy hotspots. If you're able to get it to 9 different locations with good profit, it'll make it insanely hard to predict for pirates where you are going to go. 2 high profit sellpoints are okay, maximum 3, if at all, and that should be it.

Then put it up in Bretonia. Far away from where it is obtained.

Give a sellpoint to Southampton shipyard too, then. Since the Bretonia carrier is going to be mass produced in the future, along with other already produced bretonian warships, you'll have a high demand for Iridium (for industrial materials and reactors) anyway.

Holstein as a low(er) risk, lower profit (comparably shorter route -> less piracy opportunities).
Valetta for a lot of unlawfuls -> cargo piracy
Southampton for high risk high reward (longer route -> more piracy opportunities).

Sounds good?

Kensington Shipping Platform, ftw!

Has anyone noticed the level of Junker activity since Premium Scrap prices were adjusted? Look here.

I mean....HOLY CRAP. I can only imagine how much money they've been putting away.
