The routes make sense, no doubts. But the low profits completely discourage roleplay such as:
- traders paying up instead of blowing up
- escorts getting hired and properly paid
- miners.. well.. mining
- corruption - how can you have corruption when it takes friggin' weeks to pile up some decent amount of cash
( dons fireproof suit ) I personaly dont have a problem with the new economy. My Gateway Trader makes enough to get by on, and on occasion make some creds too.
I used to pay escorts 1.5/2 mill in 4.84 and i still do so it is still worth me hireing escorts for the route. And as for the six mill or die comments, ill just hire 3 escorts instead, all worth it in my book for the rp :D
Lets remember that tradeing is for the rp as well folks not just the powertrade to get the big shiney gunboat to pirate in or cruiser to pewpew with.

I worked out my route which took my nearly 3 hours untill i managed to make it profitable, in-RP and somehow interesting...
I log on just to see that I now need to do the same s*** again to find me another route.
Any good?
This is not fun!
k?
And as it seems, I cant be sure that any of my new calculated routes (when Iam done with it) will still exist the next day.
THIS IS NOT FUN.
//I will cut of my trading untill the release of .85Final
Of course it isn't Divine. But that's because you're looking at trading the wrong way. Your ultimate goal is to make as much cash is frikkin possible, which makes trading nonenjoyable when you meet hitches and such. You have to look at it as exploring, and just filling up your cargo hold with stuff and taking chances, not so that you can fund the 5 other characters on your account.
Give it time. It's the new mod, just chill and have a good time exploring and docking on random bases.

Divine you are on a roleplay server here.
This is not about abusing exploits.
I have helped the dev team to collect data in the pre new mod stated and i know by exploring the new routes that this all is very hard work.
Beside that, why do you need that much credits?
