Honestly.. It doesn't matter. Do it for a week, don't pay your fines then move to the next system. Rinse and repeat. Fines turn into bounties after a week so not paying them is a legit way to smuggle freely. Or did they introduce a cap on how much fines you get before it's automatically a bounty?

if they did it isn't 1.8 million
Also didn't know that after a week it turns into a bounty. I guess I better pay it off next chance i get.

I can confirm that the profits for imp slaves has been reduced by over half. I was getting 7780per ton where i am and now its 3120 per ton. Still amazing profits to be made just not as ridiculous.
yep, it's nerfed. crap. i only made 2 runs. was making 7.6k/ton, now it's only 3k/ton.

Thanks for posting, man!
I remember seeing imp slaves being sold for only 14.5k at Torval systems, assuming the server patch didn't change that, you could get as much as 4k profits. but i doubt you'll find them within 1 jump of Archon system.
Basically with this nerf I've gone from making roughly 22 million an hour to roughly 10 million.

anyone knows what are profits from smuggling narcotics? i saw on galnet news that they are 5000% up.

That's not bad, but not as good as I'd hoped... I could make 8.5 mil/hour on my old, non-smuggling route, which has practically zero risk. I'll have to time the run I was making smuggling and see how many I could make in an hour and decide if it's still worth the (minor) risk.

Yea, it hasn't been nerfed into oblivion but I think it's time i move on and see what else i can find. I'm sure something else will pop up as the next uber profitable commodity here shortly.
Indeed!!

Perhaps, but I'd rather share the wealth and have it only last a few days with many players getting in on it than keep it a secret and only have a few get rich.
Since you know... FDev won't hesitate to relieve said rich CMDRs of their credits but seems really reluctant to do a server rollback. Safety in numbers, commander.
Honestly, if you get 50million credits spamming a broken trade route it's going to kill the game for you much quicker. I like a decent pace, especially in a game like this but going from a Type 6 to a Type 9 in a day would ruin the experience imo.

I already have an Anaconda so I ploughed all my credits straight back into Power Commodities
Rank 5 should be self sustaining so it's a worthwhile investment, if you have 100mill lying around
