Bought slaves. Used trading tool to find decent price for sale (should have been 1500cr/t); anarchy system, 570,000ls to station; no slave buying.
Pick another. Not slave buying.
And another.
And another.
And another.
And another.
And another.
... decide to travel far, 250ly (I don't even know what my reasoning was, lol)...
Find a station with a black market (finally)... annnnd selling at a loss. At this point; I'm done. Annoyed; and very frustrated. Get rid of the those damned slaves: 25k (or more) loss and over 10k in total fuel costs.

Never again shall I trade in slaves unless it's around Imperial waters and in an Orca (just to show them what they'll never have).

Bah. You win some, you lose some.

Oki. I'm done.

Feel free to rant too. Rant thread!

Not expecting sympathy, so it's okay. I just needed to vent; this is as good a place as any considering the low quality of the majority of the threads. :>

lol, I think rant threads help. They're good for just blowing off some steam.

Trading in slaves! You should be ashamed.

Devil's Refugee · Feb 15, 2015

All those poor souls stuffed in a cargo cannister while you SC 500,000ls listening to space trucker musak and you expect sympathy ? No sympathy from the Devil here.

Kolato · Feb 15, 2015

Don't use trading tools.
It's not hard doing it yourself.

Thought I'd see if it was worth it; 1500cr/t in omnoms - but I learnt my lesson. Although, the sneaking into stations was fun.

They in cryo - the seller assured me so.

I want to; but I simply don't have enough information at hand to feel confident in my decisions. Thus I use easy mode. I'll give it a try though; the tool is a nice convenience.

To have zero informations is better than to have wrong ones....

I love trading slaves.

Sugarat · Feb 15, 2015

Of course they sold for a loss.. after trucking them all that distance in cramped containers they must have been in terrible condition!

Santisador · Feb 15, 2015

I only trade slaves when the station where I am has a BB mission for (2 usually) slaves, and they sell them at the same station.
I don't feel so bad, like the slaves are just passing through my ship from one party to another, without having to get stuffed in canisters. Happily, it happens quite a lot so it's super easy money.

OTOH, you should have ended up with several tons of Biowaste as well. What is FD playing at?? There's just no persistence or logic in the game. It's all broken!! And my Viper doesn't blow up Elite Anacondas without breaking a sweat any more!! Waaah! Kthxbai!

The more time you spend doing things without contacting the community, the more money you lose.

Admitted, it might make it explicit in the game on what this is all about.

But these are friendly forums and we could have slaved you some time. See what I did there!

I did see; but you see, sometimes slaving away has it's rewards. (not this time, but sometimes)
