Economy in 5.2+

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

Have to bare in mind that Shikoku pobs will be worse for this because the route to NL is longer, and until more NuMining HRCs arrive to develop more routes this is right now the only 'linked' route there is with pure NuMining HRC.

We also wont make all the PoB positions viable, it is known the further away from the field you are the worse your PoB generally is, if the Shikoku PoBs want to compete with routes that do not traverse through Kusari easier they need to move closer to the field.

That being said:

Gold is 237 - 115 = 122 credits profit.

12,200 cents over 862 seconds (+30 to pob) is 12,200 over 892 = 13.68 csu.

Plat returning is;

Plat 207 - 110 = 97 credits profit.

9,700 cents over 862 seconds (+30 to pob) is 9,700 over 892 = 10.87 csu.

This however still amounts to a stronger return trip csu than HTA, which means that it is still better than HTA.

This is also in spite of the way that the Shikoku Pobs take the Plat further away from this particular trade route which has the effect of:



Doing this to any trade route would result in a loss, and despite paying for going essentially backwards the plat route is still better than HTA.
