Incoming Transmission...
Origin: Hayate Dust Field, Kyushu
Comm ID: !%!
Subject: Marvels

Bah, what ends do you wish to achieve with such a large barrel of scrap, Libertonian? This "marvel" of engineering, as your Ageira and Deep Space Engineering cohorts seem to call it, is nothing but plates of scrap pieced together. The only ship it could possibly do to shame is the lumbering, mangled Barge constructed by the Junkers. It is nothing but a joke.

If you want to appreciate a vessel of beauty and function, the marvels of Kusari ingenuity should be yours to view. The Kusari Train, a stroke of nothing less but Samura genius, is a vessel that is not only able to contain great amounts of cargo, but also is a vessel of great beauty. Even the awkward Kishiro Bumblebee puts the transports of other houses to shame! If the fools at Kishiro, the worst of Kusari's intellectuals, can create such a beauteous machine, why is it that gaijin cannot seem to keep pace?

Bah, a mystery to men of intelligence...

Transmission Lost...

I'll see you in Kusari! ;)

Heh i'm constantly changing routes all the time.

Semi legal? Don't care, so long as out of liberty and the houses. Won't do anything really vile like drugs or pot (OK... some of you don't consider pot a drug) though.

Running a patriotic mission for my nation by smuggling cardamine into rhineland space to poison them from the inside out... nah... too risky... will leave that to the secret forces:D

Anyway, I think this game really needs a CAPITAL CLASS hauler!!! Maybe with 5 BATTLESHIP turrets, 15,000 cargo (ok, 10k would be enough) nice armor and slow as hell... just able to get into a tradelane.

Make it cost as much as a dreadnaught... or MORE!!! Who wouldn't pay a billion credits to never have to fear puny lone pirates in heavy fighters ever again?


Oh and to the post directly above... I don't like your kusari ship designs. We libertonians arrived in Sirius WAYYY before anyone else, therefore we should have the best in hauler engineering!!!:P

Hmmm. actually trading is earning me LESS now cos I keep getting stuck in gates and lanes. Any ideas?

The Firefly is a beast.

3.5k cargo and only twice as big as a gunboat (I think- it's been awhile since I've thrashed an unsuspecting GB in my Firefly).

Just putting that out there.


However, given the investment you've put into your vessel, perhaps find a route that involves more open space? There are some around, especially in the Sigmas (although that's not technically open space, you won't have any navigational difficulties).

I'd go with a smaller ship. I've been trading in a Firefly ever since I started here. I've made over 600 million in it. But then, I'm a smuggler so I need a smaller, faster ship.
Other than that, practice is what will get you through gates/lanes flawlessly each time. You'll eventually learn how to line your ship up quickly and avoid docking bugs.

[Cris]

My route uses mostly open space (actually I think its only open space) I can tell you if you want its totally legal.

If you'd like a more compact vehicles, trains always work. Though, they're long and cumbersome. Of course, that might not be a problem for one who has mastered the lumbering Super-Transport. ;)

On another note, there is a mega-transport, the Barge, but it isn't very...Trader-y, since it's not very good at....Moving.

Hmm Still debating on whether I should be a trader or a miner. Everytime I trade as a noob. I get pwnt by the NPCs XD

Anyway it'll be my goal to get a big ship!! next week I start playing at my friends apartment. They have Fiber Optic internet connection. So latency will be almost non-existent.
