the perfect area for explorer profits =/= 20k/minute after trip

[Avnas]

an explorer's goal is to make money while doing things, yes?

i was wondering if there would be a guaranteed way of racking up some cash on a trip, when i realised that if i made an expedition to a particular area of space i'd be guaranteed infinite profits if i got there and returned.

i stumbled upon an area around the galactic core, up or down on the Z axis is littered with hundreds of black hole systems and old stars. it's not an isolated phenomenon, there are some areas of space that are litterally full of black holes.

since each of these is worth 20,000 a pop or more, you could make massive profits by just jumping around these areas of space, black hole to black hole.

the problem is that the trip to this area of space where you can start making fast profits is 19,000+ly, so not a trip to be undertaken lightly.


an example of the sort of area of space i'm talking about:

Try the area between crescend nebula and traikeou full of high value systems. Not even cause of the black holes but all the gas giants and metal riches/ high metal, area full of b and a types with an average of 20 bodies a system .

Explorer is about fitting what has not been found, money is a secondaire issue.

I got all excited and then realized 20k a minute is still just 1.2 million an hour - par for a T6 trader.

Would be less of an issue if it didn't take 8 million years to complete a scan... Or could jump between stars in one system rather than having to supercruise for 0.1LY... Exploring needs a lot of work to be anything other than an odd entertainment for a select few.
