i do a better route, the lovely cardamine and slave route, mostly quiet and no to worry about, 'cept when you go in through baffin. gots to watch out for those TAZ fellows.
' Wrote:I found a nice trade route, much more profitable and safe than the Diamond Run. You buy Military Vehicles from Gas Miner Naha in Sigma-13, and sell them at Battleship Myoko in Shikakku. I pull around 2 mill per run in my transport. Bring Water from New Tokyo back to Naha, and repeat. About 8 system jumps round-trip. You can be safe from the infamous New Berlin Jump Hole Wild and Pirates.
When I was first starting out I used to take Military vehicles from Stuttgart for around 600 credits each and sell them at Myoko for about 2500, with a big ship you can clear almost 10 mill but Sig13 is usually full of pirates.
And yes as stated in the legal codex below, there is no embargo on bringing them into Kusari.
Quote:Except licensed vessels, export traffic of the following products from Kusari to the Taus is restricted to Samura, Kishiro and GMG (ID+IFF). Plutonium, Deuterium, H-Fuel, MOX, Military Vehicles, Light Arms, Ship Hull panels, Engine Components.
Gaijins found exporting the above listed products will be escorted to the nearest Kusari base or requested to drop the cargo on spot if escort not available or engage if refuse.
Fine: 500k~1M
(Hogosha may deal in light arms and be ignored)
In my Armored Transport, I made around 600k profit with the Diamond Run. The Military Machines get me 900k profit for a system jump more. I'm going to try them out in a Transport, and compare the two. The Machine run is definitely safer, no Wild, and less pirates...
