Also, Copper from the Copperton field sells for roughly the same amount at a planet a trade lane away...

(Copperton Field behind Planet Gunnison, Colorado, to Planet Denver, Colorado.)

I tried out the copper fields that you told me about and was disapointed. I took me 20 minutes to fill up not even half of my hold. That is around 4 times as long as it takes to mine silver.

It is my belief that we would be able to make money if we had a group of traders that used lower level trading vessels such as the csv or the rhino/grizzly move silver to Erie from our mining vessels. From what I have seen so far, this is the best option.

I propose that we have a spokes person that goes into the systems such as NY and Pennsylvania and recruite pilots for traders (I will volunteer to do this job, it will get me out of the fields for a while). We can then offer to set them up with CSV's so that they can begin trading for us. If my memory serves me correct, one can get a csv at Manhattan and set it up for around 100k. For anyone who can afford to set up a miner, this should be virtually nothing.

Once we get the traders going, they will come to us and buy the silver off of us for around 600k a ton. This way, both the traders and the miners make money (about 1.7 mill every 10 minutes for the miners if trading goes well).

Another thought: I have a friend who is close to getting a Luxury Liner. Since it takes about the same time to transport the goods as it does to mine them, we could have him move the minerals to their destination while we supply them. Although this does not allow new players to become dedicated to our cause. I will contact this friend and see what his thoughts are.

I will look into what it takes to set up a CSV or Rhino for new players. I will also look into how much cargo the CSV and Rhino have so that we can advertise the profit the will make.
