New Commodities & Trading habits

[looqas]

So folks,

I find the new commodities interesting as well as the new trading system. The profits are not too high and trading is now more of exploration than going from point A to point ad infinitum.

My guess is that everyone has a commodity that he/she likes to haul over others. I feel very differently about the cargo I'm hauling. Slaves are a non-interesting for some reason. Too generic illegal stuff like Cardamine. Too many people do that already.

To me that commodity is Gaian Wildlife at the moment. There are many things contributing to that among others high profits, very nice icon of a fluffy monkey, a bit on the illegal side and it's not a generic Cardamine type of illegality (lookie mee. I'm a bad smuggler), but a very specific and possibly passionate Gaian reaction to the matter. And I get to spank the monkeys while making money.

Also I find the new Gallic commodities having a lot of appeal to me. Tobacco, Wine, Neural Processors and human organs. So I'm definitely going to be running between Gallia and other houses to get a feel for the commodities. Some of you may be a bit baffled about this "feel for commodity" type of talk, but I'm sure many traders out there have similar views on the matter.

My personal preference is maximum profit per item type of runs. You get to explore at the same time. I don't mind how long the route is, but it has to very profitable.

So what's your take on the new commodities and commodities in general?
