Luxury traders should be staying put now. At least for the next couple of hours, until they decide to move again.
Luxury run at TENCHE

I wouldn't mind if they moved back to the station side of the planet. Getting caught in that mass shadow can be annoying.
Most of the system already went green to me. It is most definitely affecting your faction reputation.

Worth every LY out of 300LY+ it took meThanks for the heads up OP! This was definitely worth the ~200LY drive to get here.
god this route is good
o.0 That's news to me. The question remains whether the bump is from buying goods at the station, or 'selling' to those smugglers. I'd be inclined to think that it's the former.
If you don't mind, how many tons have you smuggled so far, and which rank did you get bumped up to?

You do if you want people to take you seriously. Even if you really are making 3.5k per ton return (which is an unusually good profit: I've never found a route that good) you'd need to be able to make the trip in about 7.5 minutes to match this route and that's near impossible as far as I'm concerned. So unless you provide some concrete evidence I'll continue to believe you're simply wrong.
Yup. I've been running this one off and on for two days now, with almost 25 million in the bank as a result. Going to pick up a shiny new Clipper and park my Asp as a backup.
The station has some decent ship upgrades as well.
Top tip if you're running this route - you can also get a little faction rep at the same time. Check the station BBS when you dock and look out for charity missions labeled "Covert Help Needed" or something to that effect. They're looking for small loads of non leathal weapons which are available to buy, you guessed it, at Fan Horizons... Free rep = Free hugs from the empire!!!
I also spotted my first imperial rank progression mission this way - now i'm officially an Outsider having done a 50 odd ly smuggling run get some combat stabalisers from BD something that sells them. The mission timer was just over an hour so it was a comfortable run in my Asp. I'm sure i read somewhere that you only got about 4 minutes for the first mission, but perhaps they realised that was a little harsh.

I got a mission to get Battle Weapons. Sadly outlawed there and I don't want to smuggle in a Type-7
Got my Clipper.
All I can say is... Oh my.....
That's my plan with this route too. I'm in a T7 now, with a 5-6mil in upgrades and another 10mil in cash. But I need to brown-nose to the Imperials, and I hate that part. Damn slavers!
Ok, got the cash for my Anaconda.
Question time:
For the one that has been here for awhile, when did the boom start? I think there is hard cap of 3 week for boom, so if it's close I might not by the Anaconda here as my home route is 100 LY away and there's closer stations selling the Anaconda.
Do they sell the 6A FSD at Fan Horizons? Would like to know before purchase (can't check class 6 FSD with my ships) so I can actually move somewhere else quickly if needed.

Oh? If smuggling counts towards Trader ranking I'm going to head back over.
I should be very close to Tycoon if it does count. Currently at 355M trading profit and 22M smuggling.
So lets see if smuggling boner pills makes the rank flip.

Solo mode should just be solo mode. I don't know why they even made it so you could switch between the two and yet, still affect the universe without it affecting you and to the detriment of people that play in OP. No, if people in open play start something off then it should be restricted only to people that play in open play.
Nope. And that's not going to change, ever.
