Any other trade-abstainers? - jxie93 - 10-12-2009
I'm an explorer at heart, I trade for a cruiser used to explore without the risk of being shot down by nasties NPCs. I try to avoid PVP as much as possible.
I'm also quite lucky because my RP traderoute is reasonably profitable.

I'm certainly not power trading for a BS. What I'm doing, is often financing factions.
Though I'm not power trading for a BS..I do have about 2.3 Bill lying around.

That's not though, that's because.

never needed a BS, never will.
Pirated over 1.5billion and gave half for Kishiro where I'll promote rp combined with trade.
all cash from Kishiro that I earn either by being a leader or by trading myself will go further into Kishiro.
Rest of pirate money, and smuggling from OTC will go to OPG, that'll accumulate in around 500mil soon as well.
I also love to keep around 500mil in my pocket so thats about it.

Already have the big ships and so, I don't have a trader for the last 5-6 months. Only the battleship and bombers and so. If I so much need money, I do signature works here and/or some destroyer missions for 30-40 mil in 1 hour.

I enjoy the RP is trading. I find it soothing. I trade to trade.

i hate to say it.... but I'm trading for a BS, Osiris to be exact.
I wanted that ship since I've found out you can fly caps in Disco....
...so the Osiris was the main reason i joined the community.
now that I've flown different ships (fighters, gunboats, haven't tried a bomber yet), Gladiator remains my favorite...but the Osiris is still calling me...
since i joined the community I've managed to get my name "out there" with my RP, (which i try to do to the best of my abilities) not too far, but further than here...
currently I'm mostly power trading AND writing an RP story for the Osiris.

' Wrote:I don't trade much any more these days
mostly just escort work with occasional piracy
While I would love to get a big ship, they just cost too much
Well...
My first pirate earned his cash flying a little piece of junk for the rogues, blasting convoys out of trade lanes - npc ones only at first, then upgrading to 'jacking small player freighters. Eventually got into a SNACed bomber "under my own power".
My researcher started out in an X-shuttle - upgraded under his own power into a 20m Rheinland transport. Now though, I'm actually trading on a Kichiro char to upgrade the researcher into a neat-o looking slave liner instead. It's not about the power, as much as the wicked looks, the sheer size, the room for research labs and strange gadgets... I really want one, but earning 190 million purely on alien organisms is annoying, especially since I prefer mining it manualy (even though it costs 100c just around the corner on planet Kurile...)
I actually paid for a gunboat on traded cash but meh... what's it really good for anyway except "pvp pwnge"? Can't intercept smugglers well, not much use as an escort...
I'll use trader-cash for lots of things, but not a battleship. Seriously, what's a cap good for anyway? Sitting on your arse and guarding location X from gankers Y? Only reason I'd ever get a cap is to be in the military of one of the four houses - and considering the restrictions they put on their members, I'll be flying a bomber for 6 months anyway so... nah.
My trader also rather enjoys trading (to a degree - too much and your BRAIN MELTS!) It's can be nice meeting other traders, police officers doing spot checks and pirates reaching out for you (though only good pirates. "2m or die"-types can go shove off... They don't wanna rp, they can get a new job. Entertain me or go away - earn your cash.:)
What's a battleship good for?

I smuggle for cash when I need it.
Otherwise, I'm able to come up with enough money pirating to stuff in my pocket, repairs, restock etc..

I'm kinda half-trading while floating around with my Junker CSF, but the trading in that case is more a way for me to decide where to float to next.
