i was hoping to actually jettison paying customers looking for a ride into a sun, but if slaves is all I can do then slaves it is.
Proposal Discussion -SLAVES in ED universe-
- Thread starter boringnick
- Start date
At an inidentified signal source in Aulin today I found a Hauler, with a wanted status, and when it was already damaged it started dropping canisters... after the fight I checked and saw they were all full of slaves. I did not collect them because it is where I draw the line. I might smuggle drugs but not engage in slave trafficking.
I hope there will be a way to set the slaves free in a Federal or Independent system. Curse those Imperials and their antihuman slavery!

So you left them in the cold void of space with no means of ever being found? You sure are a saint....
Until they give us a means to outright "Free" them, just 'sell' them at a station. Just imagine that the payment is a collection of missing-person rewards and gifts from families that are reunited with their loved one.
I shall liberate them! (by selling them to a mining/extraction system to do hard labor)

Do I remember right, that in the original Elite you could hoover up escape pods and they would turn into a canister of slaves?
What happened to escape pods, anyway?

I can see this turning into a totally new mission type - emancipation!!! The pay would suck, but you'd get a sweet top hat and a statue made in your honor
If I recall correctly, 'official' slaves of the Empire have to be transported in passenger cabins, are treated as valued commodities, and are usually in a form of indentured servitude after which time they earn their freedom and I think citizenship. Either that or criminals working off a sentence.
Unofficial slavery is the scourge of the spaceways and the refuge of the true scumbags... That said, I wish I knew they were worth that much. I popped a L-6 full of them, but had no idea where to sell them, so scooped up the personal weapons instead!
Gonna hunt more of those babies.

Risk / reward needs, err, tweaking.

Not everything has to be worth a lot .
I mean isn't that part of the whole selling stolen goods on the Black Market?
That it's a gamble if it'll be worth the risk?
Atm I think prices are pretty solid on the Black Market. They don't change a lot if any I think so just keep in mind whats worth much as you sell stuff there.

They are held in cryogenic suspension for transport. The canister is a life-support system.
And the energy which is used to keep said-slave alive in suspension, is charged directly to them when they awaken!

Pickling would cheaper.
Sorry for ignorance here (noob to this latest edition, new beta commander!) but if you pick up canisters that have been dumped by someone, don't they scan you when entering a star port and flag them up as stolen with a quick trip back to the Sidewinder for your efforts?
I've been doing honest trading up till now so haven't crossed the wraith of the law yet!!!!

In this game, Narcotics are literally cheaper than Wheat Flour.
I found canister of ´´Radioactive Materials´´, and then ´´Dangerous Waste´´ canisters.
Also saw a mission where you transport ´´Botanical Drugs´´, I'm not sure if that trade good is in the game yet. (as in produced at a station)
Also I saw a few canisters with Crisis-Gas-Grenades.
