I understand Mal, but that is not exactly what i meant.
I have very little experience in Trading, maybe i should try it sometimes.
Even I do that route, but little differently.
I mostly mine my Nioblium, so i have to sell it in Dresden.
I can't really mine Chips, or VIPs.
And Nioblium is right next to my home (couz i'm BSG, right).
I just gave my impressions, the way i see it.
Whenever i go trough Sigma-13, there are at least 3-4 Traders (at that moment) and as much Pirates.
I don't really know why, but that is the situation.
Maybe Nioblium-Diamond route is shorter, more profitable?
I can't tell.
Maybe people simply don't want to discover new interesting trade routes, but all they want is a quick cash.
That might be the trouble as well.
On the other side, when I enter Brettonia, i see 1, maybe 2 characters on my way.
And they are mostly new players exploring Brettonia after Liberty.
Remember Haris-Mcduff?
Well, Brettonia and Taus were overwhelmed then.
Something is wrong, obviously.
As for smuggling, there are also 2 main routes, and both lead to NY.
One is trough Taus, Baffin, Coronado all the way to NY.
The other is trough Kappa, Delta, Minor to NY.
Maybe you are right, maybe people are lazy, but maybe they are looking for the most profitable route out there, because all they care about are credits.
I know TAZ aren't like that, but you are very unique in that way.
Most people only want most cash, least time.
And that is the problem.
They will all always go to that one most profitable route, and it will be overwhelmed.
So, what i meant is, Trade routes should be pretty much the same, same credits for same time, in more Houses.
Maybe i am wrong, maybe Brettonia has the most profitable route, but that is not the impression i get.
Don't take my word for it;)
