how to have safe trade routes

Sun Apr 11, 2004 1:07 pm by Celine

so, alot of u out there r traders. and i assume u have been attacked by rogues or lane hackers moving from base to base. well here is a hint i learned for a safe journey.
Hint 1: attack lots of xenos. they r every factions enemy.
Hint 2: join form with other players (duhh

)
Hint 3: join form with trade groups such as transports and large groups who r going to the same place as u which actually is very common.

tell me any others that u know

I think with some if the more advanced freighters you dont even need that, you just need a lot of good turrets, then use turret view and your opponents really will drop like flies and you dont even need to via from your original route one single bit.

Most PC pirates I"ve encountered will turn escort with me for a short time, or I'll assist them with some transport raids (especiall if I have a dromedary) to help them, and me, gain some massive credits. Since I won't have to kill anyone, I'm still free to continue trading on my merry way, with some PC pirates watching my back or just leaving me alone.

If you're having pirate problems as a trader, you're probably not being a good trader. (Unless they're PC pirates, nothing you can do about that)

Do what I do: equip hard hitting turrets and shield killers as main guns. Whack a heavy's shields and they might think twice about killing you. I know I've turned away a few PKers while in a humpback (no joke). Or just switch to an eagle char, and they get the point

What do you mean by a PC Pirate and PKers?
