Digging out an old thread.
Was funny to read the posts. Thats why my trader char is using the trade lanes through Frankfurt. Its a bit longer, but no pirates, because they are sitting at the NB JH in Sig 13, while i have a nice day in the trade lane. :lol:
@ Rick James: Other Trade routes: !Spoiler!
1. Engine parts from Honshu to Lanzarote and back with Deuterium from Gran Canaria to Honshu.
2. Prisoners from Harris to Vierlande prison in Hamburg.
3. Beryllium from Newcastle or Tau 23 to NB
4. Gold from Gran Canaria to Tripoli shipyard.
5. Light arms from NY or NB to Crete, Malta or Hokkaido
6. Counterfeit sw from NY to BattleBhip (BB:laugh:) Hood
7. Plutonium from Helgoland or Ogashawa to Lanzarote.
8. Scrap, because its a short route, mine it in NB and deliver it to Bornholm depot.
9. Military vehicles from Stuttgart to BB Myoko.
10. Tradelane parts from Pueblo to Tau 31 JG construction site.
11. I know i have seen a good route for polymers, but cannot remember exactly.
12. Superconductors from Pueblo to Oder shipyard.
13. Optronics from Honschu to Camebridge, which i would consider as smuggling:P
14. The best Diamond route starts in Omega 15. Then you can go different ways to Kyushu.
15. Niobium from Tau 31 or 23 to Leipzig.
16. Passengers and Lux Goods from Manhattan to Augsburg.
17. Lux Food from Camebridge to Denver and from Stuttgart to Hawaii.
18. VIP's from Camebridge to Honshu or Kurile.
19. Mox from LD14 or Dortmund to malta or Tripoli.
There are many other routes. Its just the lazyness of many traders to discover more traderoutes. They only know this route and they teach noobs only this route.
