I sort of feel like taking a Type 9 full of grain, tobacco and slaves through the old worlds, AKA the "New Caribbean". I'll be a true trader then.
The very best profession: fish trader.

How does this get 41 replies in a matter of hours and the piracy thread I've been PM'ing everyone and their dog about took 3 days to get to 40 replies?
Because there's always a bigger fish.
Which piracy thread would this be? There seems to be about one a week and all of them, at least all the ones I have read, are about how piracy is broken, pirates are hard done by, people should be forced to allow themselves to be robbed or permutations thereof. I dunno, maybe pirates should post hopeful and righteous stuff and do so with a touch of self-deprecating humour.
In the next village to me a wet fish van comes around one day a week (there is a fried fish van on Fridays). I wonder if the OP would think about that sort of service for the systems in his area.
Oh it's nothing like that, it's mostly constructive, very little negativity.

I wish there was a mechanic for enticing traders to deal in the abundant, low price products instead of high value goods. It seems a bit lame that the essential products (like tea and beer ) are not being shunted around.
I think it would be good if there were trading licences that had to be earned or ratio quotas for high/low value products. I think trading in ED is too simple and lacks excitement when it really could be interesting and challenging (even before pirate interaction).
Well done Hagglebeard - what's your trawler T9 called?

I don't have it yet, only another 50 Million to go
I used to have one on my old save, but I wiped it because it got boring. Besides, I don't name my ships, I usually buy and sell them all the time
You can pick up lots of pre-owned ones for free at any Nav beacon after a scrap. The local constabulary don't mind you picking them up and keeping the place tidy but they do get upset if they catch you trying to move them. It is a strange galaxy at times and the people who write the laws seem to have been existing on a diet of pan-galactic gargle-blasters (loitering is an offence punishable by death, for goodness sake, even the Traffic Wardens in Westminster have not gone that far though they would probably like to).
. . . I don't name my ships, I usually buy and sell them all the time
I thought you might be the romantic type but you obviously just use them for your fishy pleasure and then discard them like empty oyster shells.
All of my ships have a name and I never sell them - because I love them.
Liquor would be more accurate I think since we don't got sugarcanes and you can brew sugarcane into alcohol so close enough
Edit: I mean instead of grain
Liquor, tobbaco and slaves

Really, how many ships do you have? Personally, I never keep more than one ship, because I am constantly on all sides of the galaxy. Yesterday I was in Eranin stealing from rare traders, now I'm in Sefrys (Near Mikunn) trying to boost the influence of the Guild of Sefry.

I have caviar, trout, cod, tilapia and unprepared fugu. Take your pick!
EDIT: It's a bit ironic because IRL I despise most seafood, except salmon. Mmm, salmon...
