So you can't make hundreds of millions of credits in a short space of time.... big deal. It actually puts more value into credits this way, and it is really only a hinderance to those people who are just trading up big to get a fancible capital ship.

I find the most profitable routes are between multiple bases, not just back and forht between the same ones.

It's not about making huge ammount of money, some people trade to finance their other chars with more interresting rp becouse the other chars don't earn any money on their own (and probably even go minus).

Simply the best red ship ever

Ok, let's just say that we will be using the term "Power trading" alot less often. As that was the aim of removing the S13 jump hole and the NT-NB run. The idea was to make trading alot more in RP, to make trading seem alot more like....well, trading. It also gives alot of variety to shipping and construction factions and gives them alot of routes which they can follow as part of their RP.

The man at the CambridgeAir booking office was perplexed.

"Let me see....you have twelve tanks that you want in the first three rows of first-class seating on the red-eye to New London?"

The Junker looked around nervously.

"Yeah. Keep it down, buddy."

"But, Sir, this is a budget flight and is strictly a passenger-only service."

He looked over the Junker's shoulder. A Corsair was angrily hushing his unruly children.

"Well, Sir, it'll be a bit of a squeeze but I'll see what I can do."

He typed on the console.

"Right, sir, any luggage to check in?"

The Junker gestured at the bales of synthetic marijuana, the thousands of vials of cardamine and the huge tank of deuterium that were blocking the entrance to the space-port.

"That'll all be in the over-head compartment right?"

Trading doesn't suck but powertrading does. And there are a couple of new commodities which could be used for various RP purposes.

Apart from Phate, I haven't encountered any pirates since 4.85 beta's release...

The routes are much more in roleplay now. Commodities are sold on appropriate locations, and are bought on appropriate places.Why would passengers want to travel on the same ship as military tanks?
