P-Scrap

[Lythrilux]

Is no one looking at the links I provided? To argue it's OP is moronic.
People here seem to be carefully picking out select pieces of the pscrap debate and ignoring the vital points that debunk their counter argument.

Seriously, right now the prices we have are bad and are bad for activity.

Oh, my mistake. But yeah, routes like Platinum and UD were ignored even though there is clear proof that they're so much more OP than Pscrap ever was.

Also can you mine iridium ore? How profitable is that?

Currently it's not really worth it. Notice how I said currently

I was under the impression Cardimine was buffed to compensate for the difference between Alpha and Gamma P-scrap prices?

to quote myself from the jump drive discussion :

oK... does it really "suck for Junkers" ?

I have a ton of scrappers interacting with us Tinkers, and not all are in our group.
( actually, most are not... jet. )
We even mine / scrap as group rather regularilly as the Haven is wiped clean of 100.000 units of scrap in about 24 hours at the moment.
Using whatever scrapper is around to help, and whatever trader is around to haul.
Even ending up to throwing scrap into the Spire for fun.

Junkers can evade Kusari, fly to GMG and sell there.
Can sell it at the Brunswyck shrine for 7000
( ... funny, only us Tinkers doing that somehow, ehy ? Not enough profit ? )
Can find other groups to interact with , settle a deal with Council, deal with Gallia...

Lost of possibillities with only 1 single drawback : No Cardamine...

Leave the scrap as it is,
its working fine to ensure exactly that what was intended :

generate more interaction

Leave JD´s for 4 sectors to hop over a focus point, fine

and leave scrap be scrap

Balancing is quite good at the moment
Just give it a chance and dont work alone

There are good routes for silent lonesome traders,
but like all good routes they are only very good one way.

If you want a very good trade route both ways : Interact, trade, and cooperate.
Works well

Its not unbearable, but I've found that ever since the change I've seen less big convoys (conventional, not jump convoys) and I miss the old routine and routes! Yes i know change is inevitable but I feel the alpha run was one of the best routes i've ever participated in as both trader and escort. I know the activity gets spread around more, but also feels a bit diluted. I'd have rather seen pscrap stay the same and the addition of other similarly profitable routes for the Corsairs and Gallia to compete, instead of replace. We took one route and split it up, and as such the activity seems all over the place when it comes to organized effort. I know its not likely to change back very soon, if ever. And for the record, not sure if any congress folk have spoken up, but in the defense of jump trading, it's not all about fast and easy profit. All of the players involved buy the scrap at lower prices for jumps to be fair and make room on bases for other people to continue mining and supplying them in their immediate environments. Everyone involved benefits from it in the end.

Contrary to the popular belief Premium Scrap isn't economically less viable. Platinum ore that I have seen being compared to requires the exact same amount of jumps, only with a greater risk.

You also seem to forget to take in account how far safer it is to mine Premium Scrap in comparsion to normal mining, which is also a very important factor. You simply cannot compare a Salvager (3,300 cargo, GB guns, medium size model) with Hegemon which is gigantic, terrible gun arcs, normal transport turrets, and just 2750 cargo space.

Right now Premium Scrap is at last balanced.

You have 7 jumps to Omicron Gamma from Texas to sell it for 10k, or 5 jumps from Texas to sell it in New Tokyo for 9k. Seems rather fair to me.
