New Type-9 Looking for Trade Route

Hi Everybody,

I just bought myself a brandnew Lakon Type-9 and I'm currently looking for an optimal trade route for this ship.
I've the best Frame Shift Drive but I can only jump 7 ly at a ime :eek:

My question to you all is if somebody knows a good trade route for me to begin with.
Thank you so much for your support guys, I appriciate it :D



Kind Regards,


BartV

with the T-9 you are probably going to want to set the max hop distance to like 20 or under since loaded it cant jump farther than 13Ly and anything over 20 will most of the time be three jumps which you also dont really want. Also dont forget to set it to Large landing pad.

edit: if your jump range is 7ly you need to reconfigure your loadout and get the lightest components possible. the less your ship weighs the further it jumps. On the T-9 you dont need high rated modules since they wont really effect how the ship moves anyway except the frame shift drive, you want the ones with the least mass. if you keep it 7ly it will take so long to get anywhere you would make more money trading in a smaller ship.

If you are pure trading try something like this:

That will give you 13Ly laden jump range with 496T cargo.

If you want you can drop the shields and the docking computer and take more cargo, but I personally keep the shields for that interdiction from the Python or Anaconda where I screw up and get mass locked. You can ditch the docking computer too but pure trading its easier especially since you will be doing other stuff like reading or watching tv lol.

Weapons you dont really need. If you want them I recommend two turreted beam lasers in the medium hardpoints but then you will need a bigger powerplant too. The front hardpoints you might as well leave empty since you will never be behind anyone lol.


Also I recommend keeping the heat sink you might even want two.

Something is def wrong with your build. My T9 jumps just under 13ly full loaded 500t with shields. Best advice find your own route, those who have really good ones don't post, if I told you hey go from x to y with this load and you'll make 20 mil a trip far to many ppl would run there and do that run. Ruining my trade route.
 
I jumped 12.79LY from Marrallang to somewhere, I can't remember. It should be easy to find though; it's 12.79LY away. 1.2million for the jump there, 200k for the jump back (500 tonnes). I got bored with it though, so I stopped
 
Or scrap the type 9 and get an Asp and load up missions at fehu to 80t.
Go 300ly away and rake in the millions.
I Made 50 million in 2 days.

Go From Pell to Khan, its a great route, like 8500 per ton >:]

Must be a trap?

It is lol, i have not seen a type 9 in so long :p

But no, just give Besti a run through, no Corvos their atm, but i did hear of another pirate/griefer group hanging around LTT. So be careful...

Not following, my name on the forums is Corvos, and by me saying there are no Corvos in Besti area it means my player group is not present in the system. So you will not see Karma or any of the other Corvos members there.

Unfortunately the choice LR missions only show up if you have a high trade rank and are friendly/allied. If he just got a T9 he probably isnt Tycoon or Elite. Also, they are getting nerfed with the patch Tuesday to require more tonnage (like 50 biowaste instead of 12) and if you arent good at smuggling the smuggling missions will all fail on scan. The 300ly trip is at least gonna take a couple of hours with no guarantee the missions are there.

With a good A-B-A 1 jump loop route with 500tons in the T-9 you can easily make 1 million+ every 10-15 minutes that is guaranteed.

Slow & reliable or risky rewards? Which do you choose.

Ah I see now.
Good points.

Is that what you get as profit from Pirating their cargo? xD

P.S @OP If you're only getting 7ly jump range with the best FSD you're doing something wrong with your build. Remember, You shoudn't be A rating everything for trade. D rate pretty much everything other than the FSD and shift the Shield down to a smaller size.

I got a few 6 million+ missions from Robigo last night. Went from like 55m total assests to 120m in just like two days of casual trading! Asp with 64t, and 35LY jump range.
