Did you test this route in mp?

Was it ever determined if different MP servers have different commodity values? Every time I log into a server I forget to check that.

I know there's a difference between SP and MP commodity values, and was hoping there would be some randomization between different MP servers. Or even customizable via .ini entries..

The only thing I like more than pie is having more pie than I'd like.

my experience took roughly 12 mins one way, with 2 lane interrupts and some few enemies buzzing around the 2 jump gates. enemies were lvls 1-4. not too bad for the ca$h.

I believe prices at locations are constant throughout all the servers

cheers

Yep i did the run with my rhino at lunch and made 42640 profits. So if I do that run 5 times Ill have enough for a humback. then it will be roughly 140,000 a trip.

But the route works and isnt to rough in a rhino

If you're just sticking around friendly/easy space just get a dromedary. It doesn't handle like quite as much of a POS and can hold an extra 25. The handling i really like; that lousy humpback gives the AI real trouble when it's trying to dock. I've had it fly around for a few minutes trying to dock at some bases, even timing out so the base tells me I'm cleared to land a couple times.

so what you are saying is that I should head west and get the dromedary instead of heading east for that fat humpback?

I'm currently on the New Los angeles to Freeport 4 run its 50000 credits for 2 jumps in a clydsdale

Well Ill be doing this run for a few days then i think ill get an eagle or sabre and with its 70 cargo space ill make very long runs that will pay me like 100000 a trip one way only.

the stupid humpback handles like a garbage scow =/
how's the dromedary in comparison, btw?

like a titan *g*

Yeah the humpback is a friggen slug, but a slug with 8 shadowblades.

i trashed my dumptruck (humpback) too and went back to the drone. other then the cargo space, does the dromedary do better or worse then my dear old drone?

Im using the dromedary atm, you get it from the mactan base which is Lane Hacker territory. 275 cargo space, pretty maneuverable compared to the humpy. And Max Class 6 weapons. The only downside is that you only get Class 6 shielding max and hull is pretty weak. But as long as you stay away from player pirates you're pretty good with the drom.

Heres a pretty profitable run which may or may not be dangerous depends on who youve pissed off.

Planet Manhattan - Luxury Goods > Anyu Base (Hokkaido) = 1000+ profits
Anyu Base - Cardamine > Planet Manhattan = 1000+ profits

Im neutral with Golden Chrys and Blood Dragons so I dont get any shyte from then up north. And the cops arent really that smart you can outrun them pretty easily headed to Manhattan, and as long as you dont make any unecessary pitstops along the way good chance you wont get scanned by the po-pos.

Good Luck,
