Trading Tips for the Noobies

[sovereign]

huh? piracy isnt profitable? come back.
I made up over 20 millions in less than 2 hours just sitting in chugoku.

If people RP'd properly it wouldn't be as profitable... at least not in Chugoku. There is no good reason for a trader to go through that shortcut, either RP or OORP (oh hai there phantoms OH GOD).

For those unsure of why this is, the jump hole leads from nice cozy New Berlin into a section of Sigma-13 infested by a variety of unlawfuls and the Wild, not to mention Phantoms (*shivers*), and from there it is a jumphole into the home-system of a terrorist faction, who realistically should kill you on sight so you can't tell the KNF where it is. After spending far too much time in that system, you will come too a jumphole to New Tokyo; specifically, a dust cloud absolutely covered in a variety of terrorists who don't want you to know about that jump hole.

Any trader even knowing about that is more than a little OORP, and actually being suicidal enough to try it without escort (also somewhat OORP, who is dumb enough to take a job flying against Phantoms when there's a trade lane 15k away...) is majorly OORP for any trader; if they have that much courage/foolhardiness they should be flying a fighter, not a transport...

That, and what kind of idiot expects someone taking that route to come out alive? Realistically no one would employ you to do such a thing, it's practically throwing money in a fire...

especially not LPI! >> http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8910

That's another useful link, traders should be tagged with a company or no tag at all, a little part of me dies every time I see a power-trader tagged LPI...
