Trade routes

[Anaximander]

Heya, try downloading "Freelancer Companion", it will give you some good info on traderoutes.

If you really hate pirates, I'd suggest you do some intra-Gallia trading. It is very profitable, and nobody pirates there.

My trade route is Fur from Planet Tomioka / Nagano to Planet Cambridge / Cambridge (through the Sigmas/Omegas) and Luxury Food back from Planet Cambridge / Cambridge to Luxury Liner Mackinac / Nagano.

You can also try Cardamine from Planet Malta / Omicron Alpha to Allentown Base / Pennsylvania and Slaves back from Allentown Base / Pennsylvania to Planet Malta / Omicron Alpha. This of course requires neutral/positive reps with Outcasts and Junkers AND that you get registered with [TAZ], who blocks the jumphole in Baffin with a big ol' nasty player base. On the positive side most pirates will leave you alone when hauling these goods; but lawfuls will shoot you (and not just ask for 2 million credits).
