Revise your trade route, because that's a poor route to complain about. There'a plenty of far more lucrative traditional spots than that.
Hi
Actually No; I think your missing the point, One Station, one jump, straight up trade 2,660 profit per unit wiped out, gone.... 1,064,000c (what happened to the free trade agreement ?)
current Commodities Market..... every tradie Knows "Coffee" for 1,400 a unit is not a bargain, and just because the Galactic average says 1,450; trust me they are lying to you.... GA really is 1,280
And just because a "Station" Commodity board informs the said commodity is "exported to" that doesn't mean it is for profit.... (You can get burned big time here)
You may say trading in "Rares" is the way to go... fair call,, straight port to port, (13 port) maybe 50 jumps picked up 70 Rares sold for 2.5mil at the end...
Then again if i had brought "coffee" for a good price, 1,100c x 400 units = 440,000c ( I know; what can you do, hard to make a buck these days) sold it GA 1,280c = 180c profit x 400 = 72,000c x 50 jumps 25 (port to port) = 3.6mil means; Rares suck....
Ha - Ha you say.... what if you predict what trade missions are on your next ports Bulletin Board... so we take Coffee, Tea, Gain, Painite per-say,,, Once upon a time that was alot of fun with a good chance of being right... these days the odds are against you....(Very Noticeable)
Giving Miniing, it appears the max Painite is down by 4,500c.... that being said the port cheat/ glich is still there....
My view; trading is far less fun, more difficult, while everything is more averaged, losses are two to three times greater.... minor items values are up, mid item are the same 1000 profit a unit, max profit is 2/3 less in trade. 10% less in mining....
Yes, slave trade value is up.... However; i mean really, One pre ton... Even air line luggage is only 30kg... Given you can get 16 in a lift and the average person is 90kg + 30kg luggage, surely you can fit 4 pre ton in a ship.... 64,000c (O-O)7
The New commodities, My view Small ship gain, Big ships lose, mission are rare, over all trade profit are far less.... ( A single NPC can shoot 75,000c worth of repairs in Anaconda)
All fun & games, cheers Stu
