Powertrading to get a cap
for you to get a cap
that generates roughly the same income as a powertrading ship, even more if you minmax like you did in the OP.
I see nothing wrong here.
edit: bruh, what a hostile thread.
I'll sympathize with Karst that mission income should probably be reduced by roughly 25% to 33%.
edit2: on a slightly unrelated note, as someone who trades just for the heck of it - there are virtually no pirates anymore and tonnes of powertraders, where did all the pirates go? You could easily make 50m by sitting in a Borderworld/Independent worlds for like an hour or so [provided you pirate each trader for 7.5m~10m]
