4500cr/ton

I assume its an archon exploited territory with a blackmarker thats nearby somewhere selling imperial slaves cheaply.

Edit.
Although looking again at that image, maybe not. Not sure where you can buy imperial slaves for 7500 credits

On this image, he bought IS for 15567/t.

I can't get it, it's a joke Frontier ? Really ? The market is so broken...
If it's legit, I'll take my Annie there this evening... 8000+Cr/t... Really totally broken

I remember in FE2 in a sytem, to get rid of diamonds, the market gave me money to take them away. Bug or no bug ? It remained a mystery to me. So I made hundreds of travels between two systems, to receive millions of cr and never spend on this business

:)

You see NOW the 10% module tax makes a LOT more sense.

Found a 9k / t btw, but you would have issues with the pad size.
 
Why Archon? Hè made slaves legal so no slaves for the black market? Why not Pranav?

Well, Archon didn't get to quite that point yet. And Pranav made a step back, he doesn't give black market bonuses any more (did in beta, just tried yesterday, nothing) so I guess in time these will kick in. Until then, happy smuggling!

Cr/t should be an avg per run otherwise it doesn't mean much.

Cr/hour has more relevance than cr/t.

I've got a 8k/ton 13ly round trip with both legs <200ls.
cr/t/hr depends on flying skill, but from this you can estimate your own.
 
So its a "simple" matter of finding an Archon exploited system where slaves are illegal and has a black market?

pretty much yes. If you wanna maximize profits you go for a system that has a high paying return commodity. Not that it's required because the profits you make from the slaves is ridiculous right now. But it goes Imp slaves > archon exploited system that has them prohibited with a black market > ???? > profits.

Think they'll do a rollback or take Credits away from Commanders who spent all weekend trading for such high sums? :3 Doubt 2mill per trip was really planned.

Just like how they do a rollback any time someone hacks to make money? Or every time a commander saves up weeks of bounties and turns them in at the start of a CG?

Or how they took away the hundreds of millions earned in luxuries?

Lol no they wont do anything, just like they do nothing to combat logger.

Not to mention that this isn't the first time people have exploited a market mechanic in order to make a bunch of money fast. And none of those people near launch who were raking in 15 mil an hour had their money taken away.
 
The profits right now are a bit over the top more or less across the board with some Powers. Now, I'm not complaining about my 4 million profit per round-trip in my 400 ton capacity 'Conda, but it do seem a bit silly in the long run.

I don't think these profit margins are bad, but I think it wouldn't be too bad if it were made a little more risky if you are part of an enemy power. Currently, it's easy to go into a hostile territory and take advantage of the benefits they offer, when you are aligned to an opposing faction.

I spent a good hour sitting in Archon territory (am aligned with Patreus) going in and out of outposts, stations etc. and making scads of profit, and it felt a bit cheesy.

I dont know how it could be done though. It makes sense if I'm imperial, in an Empire-aligned system, exploited by an enemy power, that I wouldn't be KOS to everyone there...
 
Why Archon? Hè made slaves legal so no slaves for the black market? Why not Pranav?

Archon only makes slaves legal in systems he controls, they are still illegal in his exploited systems.
Pranav on the other hand closes all Black Market so no cigar there.

So combine the 20% discount on Imp Slaves from Torval controlled systems with the 20% Black Market selling bonus from Archon exploited systems and you could easily get over 10k/ton profit, and that is before the trading voucher you can get if you pledged to Torval.

Edit: oops seems Pranav only closes Black Market in his controlled systems. Still I would rather trade with Archon for his reduced security and no increase in fines.

The biggest fun with this routes is, that when the system authority fines you, you still make a profit after paying those fines....
