Well Hessians in general should not enter S-13 except in special situations (and that's what I tell the RHA and that's what Ors tells the HT), so that leaves us with New Berlin. Believe me we used to sit around there a lot, charge people large sums (up to 4 million) for diamonds or niobium. Problem being it just gets tedious after a while with what I wrote in my previous post. When the traders get robbed again and again the OORP stupidity of "it's better to die" starts, and that's when I am done. From what I can see every other unlawful faction started avoiding S-13 like the plague as well, and with good reason cause for all the blowing up that happens there it doesn't seem like it's doing a thing about the route.
So what needs to happen is a hard change. Discovery could use some trade route rebalancing anyways to remove the so called "power trades" .. I'm not saying "remove the diamond run and leave the rest as it is", far from it. As part of a greater trade route rebalancing that should happen all across Sirius this route should be removed and replaced by others that lead through places far more in RP than New Berlin Jump Hole > Chugoku Jump Hole > Hokkaido > Kyushu.
By George a simple trader would get blown to hell and back through that route, so in RP it should not even exist. Ergo it should be removed..
