Oh well, I just got to the Imperial space after a crapton of exploration. Got 1.6 million in addition to a Cobra that should be woth around 500k. I think I will need to grind out another million somehow, before I can afford the T6, it's upgrades AND the money needed to stuff all it's compartments up with trading goods.

Welcome to the Empire! And congrats on your new and shiny Lacon. :)

She really does. Plus I like the view. ;)
And yes, T6 is good at one thing only - making money fast. You will tire of her, eventually, if you don't have a real trader's heart, but she will set you up for a big league. :)

The Type-6 is crap in a fight, but it's surprisingly good at running from a fight. Get a good power distributor in it and you can boost at 350 meters per second pretty much indefinitely. It won't outrun a player in a Cobra or Viper but you'll leave most NPCs in the dust.

Trade really comes into it's own once you can carry over 100 tons of cargo and living to sell it is a definite bonus.

The idea in a T6 is to get the heck away as quickly as possible, not try and fight. Being interdicted is much more fun in an Asp ;) Several times now I've submitted to interdiction and the prospective pirate has immediately seen the error of his ways and tried to bug out, they rarely make it out alive :D

With the 106t of cargo I regularly make 300k CR profit per load so 3-4 runs equals around 1M CR

I love the view from both my T6 and Asp. Being able to see under your feet is great for pad landings too. It must be a Lakon design thing.

Yeah, all I need to do now is find a good trade route within Imperial Space that lets me make 200k + profit per run, without jumping more than 2 times each direction lol. As im stuck with an FSD drive on my T6 that lets me jump just 12.5 Ly when loaded up.

I also kind of like Asp's design, it actually looks like a Gunship of sorts.
