Profit per ton is meaningless. What is the cr/ton/hour? (Profit per ton you can earn in one hour.) Just divide 60 by how long the round trip takes, including the time to buy/sell on each end. Start a stopwatch when you launch from Station A, and don't stop the timer until you launch from Station A again. Then mulltiply the result by 2967. For example, if the round trip takes 20 minutes, then 3 x 2967 = 8,901 cr/ton/hour. Which isn't that great, actually. It's decent, but there are routes in the 14,000 to 16,000 cr/ton/hour range out there.

LHS 5307 is bugged

invisible asteroid belts at 16 Ls from the station don't let you past, got to jump to another system

I tried this, my Lakon 7 (208 tons) made 610,000 in about 14-15 mins it took to do it both ways, so 2,42 million per hour withouth breaks. Cant remember exact amounts but now profit for Palladium were about 1780/ton and for Res Sep´s 1150/ton.

Distance to stations were decent, 2k and 1,5k LS from star, just short enough, but long enough for me to wake up to hit that 75% speed-button so I dont overshoot. Also I liked how fast it were to get to stations (at straight line), no planet blocking these. And after exiting station systems were directly at front of me to jump, not behind station (maybe things are soon different as planets move).

Thanks for sharing, if you have better route, send me a PM if you dont want it here

EDIT: oh yeah and I got my Lakon jump range to 17.30 LY by cutting my fuel tank from 32 to 16 tons

Can confirm Bug

I can confirm that there are asteroids which are invisible. I tried to scan for things with a basic discovery scanner several times. They do not show up in the navigation list. Looks like a bug to me.

However, they do give you a proxy warning while in supercruise, so you have a chance to evade them. When the warning appears, reduce speed and alter your direction. Mohmand Plant is reachable, but your ship may be damaged by emergency stops while trying to reach it. To escape the asteroids, face away from the belt and charge to supercruise.

I have a pic taken after an emergency stop at 13.9ls from Mohmand, but I can't post it since this is my first post to this forums.
