Type 9 Profits?

[maziou]

Just curious how much you type 9's are pulling in every hour or two, flying the best cargo ship in the game. Is it much greater than a Python or Anaconda, kitted out for cargo running? I imagine it's a great deal more than my type 6

I have no T9 yet, but read a couple of threads mentioning 4-5 MCr/hr. But, finding a good route takes longer, as the jump range with full load requires multiple jumps and you are limited to large stations (no outpost).
I prefer a lightweight Python with Outpost capability and enough guns to do assassination missions/bounty hunting between trade runs. I did not like the pure trade grinding in the T6/T7.
There should be more missions for large trading vessels, e.g. the one I had for bringing 37t of Tobacco. The payout was around 350 kCr.

I'm currently in a Python making about 2.5 million per hour. So the Type 9 will be close to double that.

I'll have my Type 9 tomorrow probably. We'll see how hard it is to find a large landing pad both ways trade route

Im making 650,000 per run at 1300 per tonne in my 500T Space Cow.

Run takes about 10 minutes so 6 runs an hour = ~3.9 million

I could just about get a type 9 now but I am having so much fun in the Python, getting a type 9 is currently on hold

Nearly 5 million an hour. I currently have a round trip that nets me about 1 million and I do the round trip in around 12-13 minutes.
