Good mining places... and are missions still profitable?

[Mere_Mortal]

Mine in the stokes feild, selling the cargo to the traders for the fraction of thier profits on the sale of the niobium there of 1/number of players in the group (traders+miner), when they land on Liepzieg. If they follow the correct route, you, the miner, earn abotu 260 cr/sec, and the transports earn about 220 cr/sec on that leg. They then move high temp alloys to the Ring, fly empty to oder, pick up engines, which they haul back to southampton. They grab basic alloy there, and fly it to Planet Leeds. From planet leeds, they fly empty to the stokes feild.

That's exactly how it should work. In fact, it's genius!

24mil an hour is peanuts

No, that is an ideal rate for an Advanced Train. For example, let's assume that the product is generating 2,400 per unit and a single leg takes half-an-hour, with the same rates upon the return. You won't earn more that in a transport, even a 3,500-profit route won't have a return product that makes any more than 1,500 credits. Well, this is all based upon my last investigation into the commodities and that was a while ago now.

Man what a waste of 3 hours and 30mil credits settin up the miner

Why are you concerned about spending 30 million that you want to earn every hour?
