That's why I said I don't trade and asked the question. So 12 jumps takes a week?
He said 12 "runs"
Not 12 "jumps"
If your "run" is 3 jumps, in a Type 9 with 500T of cargo, that can take up to 30 - 45 minutes depending on what side of each star you land after a jump and distance from the star to your drop in point.
Then there is docking a huge slow brick without killing anything on the way in by nudging it with a fat backside.
In my Anaconda I can do the same route with 450T there AND back in the same time it takes a T9 to get there.
It is also a jump less in the Anaconda (the 3 jumps becomes 2 due to the great jump range of the Anaconda)
