4500cr/ton

there was definitely a bit of excitement every time I approached the station and wondered "Are they gonna scan me this time?"

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. :rolleyes:

it has been nerfed.
 
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.
 
there is some improvement for a standard trade or only smuggling can reach 4500+ cr/ton? sadly i'm out in exploration but i can turn back i'm only 1000ly away
 
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.

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. :p
 
Unfortunately these forums are a double edged sword. People post here to brag & share their wealth creation discoveries. Trouble is the Devs can read too lol

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. :p

I already have an Anaconda so I ploughed all my credits straight back into Power Commodities :p Rank 5 should be self sustaining so it's a worthwhile investment, if you have 100mill lying around
 
What I like most about these routes is that they will change week-on-week as systems ebb and flow between powers. Will make for interesting times.
