I was wondering how I could achieve Smuggler ID while flying freighter? It’s obvious that 300k cap is impossible to achieve playing such ship equipped character.
Please advice how to get it without using barge or 5k ?
Assuming a half-hour round trip, the event ran for ~2 weeks averaging 16 hours a day.
This gives us 1300/hr (2 x 650)
There is a theoretical maximum of 224 hours to the event.
16 hours x 14 days x 1300/hr = 291,200
Instead, try using a Serenity or Longhorn.
300000/7200 = 41:40
2500 minutes in other words.
If a gamer did 6 runs per day over the two week period, they'd get it.
Cooperation with a Jump Drive user to be sent back to Bretonia skipping over either the 100k travel through Cali or the NY Lanes would also speed things up, so that would give us 300000/14400 = 20:50
What I'm trying to say is that this was never going to be a freighter event, the lore of it was already "big market opening up, lots of it has to be moved now". In a perfect world, the Junker ID would have reigned supreme over the event, allowing for also bullying other runners by piracy; of the factions the event lore was "inviting" to partake, LH had an indie who was more interested in intercepting the cargo and Rogues were asleep. (And Xenos were more interested in burning every piece of slog they could see to the ground because that is actual poison, they may have a point.)
