[Edit] Not sure why that was quoted[/Edit]

(#k per second = 5000 Cargo Profit / time to raech destination)

One annoyance I find, is that their are Absolutely No similiarly profitable (9-12k per second runs) in-house routes for Gallia. In a way, making GMS / IDF / EFL RP to a secondary roleplay as they can't properly earn money. Most I saw i believe were around 4k per second.
If this is being changed in the Core System Release, good. But otherwise id like to note that it needs to be changed. GMS, IDF, EFL, in keeping their public loyalties (GMS secretly supporting Council) to the Royals, would only be able to, inRP, trade Within Gallia.

[Edit2]Past all of that, a few InHouse trading could use an increase to be equally as profitable as some other runs. With Liberty and Rheinland now at war, there should be more activity concerning Military Supplies, EX: Detroit Munitions to various Battleships

---------------------------------------------------------------

While the change did get rid of max-money powertraders, it also hurt RP Trade. The majority of profitable runs are 20-30 minute runs which put in various territories with various groups of pirates.

As a joke when this was discussed in a skype chat....
Pirate 1: 3m or dai
Trader: Ok... here, just dont kill me
*System Jump*
Pirate 2: 2.5m or dai
Trader: Jeesh I just paid that other pirate in the last system... Here!
*System Jump*
Pirate 3: 4m or dai
Trader: What the hell! HERE!
*System Jump*
Pirate 4: 1m or dai
TradeR: Ok Im broke....Crap
Pirate 4: Then dai!

' Wrote:60mil an hour? Are you serious?

Yep. It's fully illegal and 90% jump holes, but possible. ~3,5k transport will get about 10mil profit for a single direction run, taking about 10 minutes. Multiply that by six.

Now, as I have said before, the proceeds IMO should be much better for contraband. In any case, power trading is possible, although much more disencouraged by the admins, as I think it should be.

It's quite late for me. I'll take a nap and try to create some footage to prove my position in he morning :)

@Simon: I almost died.

@People who say the trading system is worse than before: There are a few bugs in the system here and there, it's beta. 4.84 was far worse in this regard.

I'd rather discovery offer a plethora of well-balanced RP routes than a handful of really powerful routes... some with questionable RP. Our economy is in good hands.

If anyone would like to share with me a not too long but profitable circut run I would really appreciate the PM.


It is every citizens right to preserve their morals and their beliefs. However, it is every citizens DUTY to bring about equality.
Capitalism is based around taking advantage of the working class to increase profits. People like you and me are only a dollar sign to them. It is our duty to show these Capitalists what the true meaning of a revolution is, it is not just radicals fighting for change. It is the PEOPLE fighting for what is RIGHT, what is TRUE!

Marxism is the true and right ideal that we should all embrace. Communism is the process in which that ideal is accomplished. The people of Sirius just need pure leaders who will to the end remain incorruptible.
Are you one of those leaders?

Perhaps you could specify what affiliation your trader or traders have.

' Wrote:Really, you must not be accounting for something. The best routes I can find for a 5k transport pays under 30mil per hour.

i'm going to correct myself because i really overshot my estimates, one way _does_ take around 20mins. It's completely inRP for some of my characters to scavenge wrecks while doing it, and finding a couple of codes would mean extra 20-30mil in a flash.

Still, even normal trading means that's 30mil right there, and unless you're aiming for a battleship that's perfectly enough. What exactly are you going to do with that 300mil after a week of trading, anyway? If you have played enough to be on good terms with the faction providing the battleship, they'll just give you the money for it.

Anyway I was off big time and apologize, I'll edit my former posts accordingly :)

@ Flash Mp: The problem comes where you've got all these traders who won't role play. That's one of the reasons the Diamond/Niobium Run got sacked. Nobody likes chasing a trader that runs silent or that says, "just kill me its cheaper."

Maybe 4.82 is beckoning you.

Well, if it stays in the mod it is all good.

So what is that route which makes 30 million an hour? (Or any others that do as I am making like 12 million an hour currently.)

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
