Deliver 80 tons of Trintium for 14 million credits

Sounds easy right? Cost 4 mill to purchase it then make 10 mil profit. What is the catch? Is is in Colonia! Five systems and six stations loaded the needed 80 tons of Trintium. Add in an NPC Anaconda, Fer de Lance and a Gunship trying to interdict me. They lost.

Most populated systems in Colonia space are a parking lot for fleet carriers. If a player doesn't like seeing them in the bubble they are not going to be happy here. But with all these fleet carriers CMDRs want Trintium and I suspect a lot of them are not into mining. Supply and demand puts most stations in the red wiih so many players trying to buy it. Is that what Frontier designed?

When the fleet carriers came out Frontier every week had a few systems in the bubble selling Trintium for 4k and everyone showed up having a party and a great time in Open mode. A ganker in an Orca rail gun boat took out my cargo Cutter but I didn't care meeting n' greeting so many other players. What a great moment in ED. Community goals? Bring back 4k Trintuim then let the players have fun.

Meanwhile why is it in Jaques Station in Colonia Belugas, Orcas and Dolphins have issues landing? Maybe the idea is similar to Miami, FL with cruise ships parked in the port. Not to mention the occasional live player blocking the mail slot so anyone using auto launch on their docking computer will keep bumping into the station taking their shields down. Then exit manually with an Anaconda and a Mamba waiting for them. I would say very creative.

You are right: when tritium was 4K I have had a lot of fun moving my carrier.

Now it's parked over there and I don't log anymore: it seems that Frontier has a sadist attitude in some (a lot to be honest) of their choices toward players...

You can get the Trit from me. I will get 28 Mill from you. You can keep the mats, the rep, whatever.

That is a good deal for people like you up here at our home. Believe me.

Is changing to solo mode that hard to do, even in Colonia?

Sure if a player doesn't want to accept the challenge. Having billions of credits and engineered well armed ships it is not a big deal to play with others now and then.

With the past 60 hrs of game play in Colonia I've been in Open mode 95 percent of the time. The 5 percent was mostly respect for other players while docked a long time and not blocking a landing pad expecially at outposts. During this time I saw 13 live playees. 6 ran away, 4 ignored me and 3 tried to attack. I was happy to see them!

Still with these numbers calling ED a MMO (massively multiplayer online) game is laughable.

If you just want to move your carrier around the Colonia region itself, there's more than enough Tritium to do that. I expect a lot of the ones in the popular systems are "I've parked my carrier in my home system" ones that aren't moving despite having 1000t in the tank.

Even when Frontier set the Colonia Bridge major stations to have absolutely ridiculous Tritium levels, most of them were drained pretty quickly; offering 4k Tritium days would of course make that worse up here.

People sometimes run tanker trips from the bubble to sell for 100-150k/tonne - if you're just into per-tonne profit and don't worry about opportunity cost (and by definition none of the tanker operators really need the money anyway, of course) it's pretty good going.

Four tourist beacons right next to the station leads to way more traffic than any station was actually designed to handle, and of course mostly passenger ships.

People like me? I guess I should have mentioned that I don't have or need a fleet carrier in my Colonia account where all the populated systems are close together. I don't even use a fuel scoop. My fleet carrier is in my bubble account with 21,000 tons of trintium onboard. It doesn't go anywhere. :)

I wonder...fill up my 240t cargo Python with trintium then sell it to a carrier owner willing to pay a lot more for it?

probably. But it is far easier to set your FC in a lonely near system, not far away from the central star. I call mine "Max´ Hideout"...;-)

I appreciate that. With "people like you" I mean, people that simply did not get the connection to Colonia.

sure. There are prices about 120K right now (Inara), but if you live here, you know some FC that sometimes need to be refilled and pay up way more than that. I won´t tell you their names. But I made billions by selling Tritium to them.

and now: fly back to the bubble. There is nothing here to see.
