Economy in 5.2+

[Lord Caedus]

Yeah I'm not seeing anywhere near those numbers.

Granted, it's the Kusari side specifically that's kind of fucked here since all the routes go south except the ones to Gallia, but even accounting for that, it's like a solid 10-20% below a typically priced oldmining ore route of comparable length.

Gold is 115 from Coleraine and 215 to Planet Denver. 100 Profit.

Using Darkstat, the CSU from PNL to Denver is 8.26, because PNL sells gold for 157.

215 Denver - 157 PNL = 58 credits profit.

58c x 100 = 5800 cents.

5800 Cents divided by 702 seconds = 8.26 csu as seen on Darkstat.

Then we go from Coleraine, which will add more time say 30 seconds.

215 Denver - 115 Coleraine = 100 credits profit.

100c x 100 = 10000 cents.

10000 cents divided by 732 seconds = 13.66 csu

Therefore we can roughly work out that Coleraine to Denver is 13.66 csu, using darkstat.

--

Platinum from Acteri is 106 credits profit over 804 seconds, which puts it at 13.18 csu to Planet New London.

This is comprable on the way back mind you because the distance to Acteri is longer, but it also sells plat for 15c less than Coleraine.

Meanwhile, Darkstat HTA to Cambrige from Wichter is 10.17 csu. It's not adding up.

So yes, real world figures will be lower csu because Darkstat is faster than real world transports, but that will not make the delta between HTA from Sig 15 to Cambrige vs Gold/Plat any better.

I think the issue is specifically doing the route to end in Shikoku.
