on a transport to use.

I need to start making money again, and right now my only characters are aki.kimura (who has zero credits and is in a CSV at the moment), JU-Midgard (in a corsair gunboat, has most of my credits - 200 million), and JU-Recruiter (Collector with 1 million).

I'm really stingy about spending cash on a ship, even if it's to make more cash in the end. Trading is downright boring as well, perhaps if mining was fixed (hint hint?) this wouldnt be an issue.

Anyways... I've tested tons of them, crunched numbers on cargo space vs price to purchase, and I still cant decide >.<

Can we just get 4.85 out already? I dont think this'd be an issue if I had that salvage frigate =P

When in doubt go with the classic Transport or Train variations
There is one to meet every budget.

You cant go wrong with Whale
Excellent Mobility, Excellent price and good cargo.
Pirate Transport is good as well.
Great smuggling ship. Excellent hold, good price, 100k plus armor, 9 guns and CM.

As what Kindred said. There are many classic Transport or Train variations out there to suit every budget as well.

meh... im not fond of the trains, and the large transport looks goofy as well. The normal transport isnt bad but has very limited cargo space.

I really dont like the pirate transport, that thing is ugly as sin... and smuggling isnt required - JU members dont smuggle, everything i carry will be legal goods.

Get a train and stop whinging.:P

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

The Behemoth is a beautiful Rheinland ship (I think it's pretty, actually) and it's very easy to survive in if you get attacked. If you're playing an authentic Rheinlander, that or the Heavy Tanker are the way to go.

The problem with House ships is the whole embargo/war things going on. Id say a Whale. As stated before good hold and good mobolity. that is hard to come by in a transport.

Get a Kusari pirate and start killing the traders on the Diamond-Niobium route everytime they come until they realize that its cheaper to just pay. You can make 100mil per day easily. (50 pirate runs for 2 mil each, or less if you charge 3mil for the Adv. Trains grinding it.)

Also, if you DO trade, I'd say go with a House transport.. Even though others say its a bad idea. You find trading boring.. As do I. The way to still trade, yet not bore yourself to death is to do a bit of smuggling. Lawful or unlawful smuggling. You can do cardimine smuggling, and deal with the LSF/LN/LPI in Liberty (or wherever you transport to). You can do Deuterium smuggling, which is what I'm doing, between New Tokyo and Omega-49, going through Leeds and Dublin with a Kusari Transport (Though I'm a Luxury Liner, reduces the immediate suspicion of any BAF that show up.) There is also the Liberty smuggler into Rheinland and vice versa.

Get a whale and I'll tell you about my secret Malta route.:P

It's shorter than the diamond/niobium route. Makes less money, but you get pirated like once a month. It's the best route ever!

Seriously, buy a whale, and i'll tell you my route. But don't tell anyone else, otherwise the route would get spammed by pirates.:mellow:
