Trading in .85 - a poll

[teschy]

Question 1 - Do you like the new RP trade routes?

Indeed I do, they actually make sense now. I love trading in my Navy tagged Mammoth, many routes that are valid RP wise. Same goes for my Junker Salvager, I can either properly mine scrap, or smuggle between unlawful bases.

Question 2 - What do you think about the cash per hour these routes generate?

I think the profits need a boost. Sure, everyone will use the 'that will mean more caps' as an argument, but here's the thing, it doesn't matter. They'll just trade more, using the best routes out there, in damned Zoner Whales. And that my friends, is powertrading, something we tried to fix with 4.85, or at least that was the impression.

Question 3 - How do you compare trading in .85 to trading in .84?

Well, you can pretty figure my position from the first two posts, basically more RP - less profits -> even more powertrading. It's just like that, if you actually bother taking a look on the server. Because right now all these people talking theory and generalized stuff, are actually clueless about what's going on in the real server.

Question 4 (post only) - Is there anything not covered by the 3 questions above which you would like to mention, to see changed or improved?

As the people above me stated, profits should be boosted so no matter in which faction you are, you'll still get the same profits. That way, you can have variety on the server. Right now, you just have a couple of RPing traders, the rest being Zoner Whales, Pirate Trains and Slave Liners.
