Smuggling routes?

Does anyone know any good smuggling routes? I was thinking of kitting a Sidewinder for the job and becoming the new Solar Fluke! :p

PM me if you don't want the route to die, and you're willing to share :)
 
Later, when you can afford a Cobra Mk III specially kitted out for blockade running (all speed, max cargo hold, no weapons, no shields) you can head to Robigo and take smuggling missions there. But those are more difficult and for the best result you should have some experience with the game before attempting smuggling missions from Robigo.

Me be a little confused here. As I understand the as far as bad guys are concerned; with pirating, smuggling and general debauchery: You are near the top of the list. I thinks that you are just looking for easy pickings.

Oh, I don't need those cheater missions! I'm not grinding anymore, I've played 16 months, I've had my fair share of that :)

Also, I'm probably a good part of that blockade - I've killed 13 smugglers on my Own in Robigo, and plenty more with the SDC and various other sword-arms for sale :)

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

Alright I might be looking for a few nice hauls, but I am going to smuggle!

...Promise!

Cobra III is the best smuggling ship. I run smuggling missions from Maia. Making 5-10 million per run with 32 cargo. I have A class everything for heat management and a class 4 fuel scoop. No weapons, no shield, an advanced discovery scanner and two hull re-inforcement with mirror surface armour. Not been scanned yet.
But Frontier has nerfed smuggling recently. You'll get one good run per day, but the rest is picky at best. Still, I'd much prefer to run 4 million than trade. Yeah, trading and mining can better smuggling now, but at the cost of fun and excitement? I really hope the 2.1 mission system is overhauled in it's entirety.
 
Sadly independent smuggling doesn't exist outside of a few artificially tailored powerplay systems and some very specific goods.

I think the OP can afford many Cobra MK3s since he is the leader of a pirate faction, lol.
