Greetings All,
Yesterday, I ran niobium from Planet New London to Manhattan, for a profit of 548 credits/unit (my apologies for lack of a per-second calculation). I returned with luxury consumer goods from Manhattan to Planet New London at a profit of 854 credits/unit. Not a bad run in the new economy.
Earlier, I ran mining machinery from Planet New London to South Shields and hydrocarbons back. That is a fair profit, but substituting the Hood in Dublin for South Shields yields a slightly higher per-second profit. Again, apologies for lack of numbers; I wasn't keeping good notes at the time. Of course, we'll want to be careful with the Mollys in Dublin.
One other thing to keep in mind is what we pay and charge for escorts. Since the entire economy is different, and money-making is no longer quite as quick a process, escort fees should be reduced purportionally. We still, however, should maintain our reputation for being generous.
