Say it takes you 3 hours to ship cardamine from Malta to Manhattan, 30k in cargo, which isn't *too* far off the mark, it may be a little shorter tbh, iirc our barge convoy during the event took more like 2 hours. But we'll go with 3, to be conservative.
That's still an hour *less* than it would take you do to the same round trip 6 times in a 5ker, which is a 40 minute round trip at its absolute fastest, 240 minutes total in a utopian world where you somehow smash that run every time. I'm sorry but the math on this statement does not check out.
"But what about interception?" Hire an escort. You also have battlecruiser levels of hull and battlecruiser turrets.
That trip took 5+ hours one way. Also 12 escorts.
On event level bonus.
If you’re going to reason, use truth.
The same 5 hours can have 12 runs done each way in a 5k.
