do anyone have a trade route for a type 7?

Are you asking for a player to give you a specific trade route, or are you asking for people to upload their routes to that website?

If it's the first, you don't need a specific route - you can find your own really easily: Head to the edges of populated space and filter for high population industrial, extraction and refinery systems.

Problem with the trade route tools is that they kill trade routes.

I imagine that if I had a nice route going that was standing up to sustained trading, and then some chump posted it on Thrudd's or whatever, thus destroying my profits, I'd... be pretty annoyed.

Learn the game mechanics, engage with the simulation. Stop relying on 3rd party crutches.

Find your own routes.

You're not much of a trader if you're traded up to a T9 with tools and don't know how to find routes . . .

I don't know about Thrudds because I've not used it much but with Slopey's it is foolish just to expect it to spit out really good routes that aren't ran into the ground by lots of traders... OTH I've used it to find several really good three stop routes that no one seems to ever run but me....if you're going to use the trading tools you gotta learn to dig a bit for the routes-- a bit of research can go a long ways
