Also - the route seems balanced. I run a different (shorter) route usually with the same profit. So it looks fine from my POV
Update: Crunched some numbers
A run with a 5k ship:
25.000.000 Investment (Pueblo, PPU 5000)
5.000.000 Payout (Elbe Station, PPU 1000)
Loss of: 20.000.000
Bonus of: 26.000.000
-------------------
Profit: 6.000.000 for a route of about 1090 seconds
Profit/s: 5.504$/s
My regular trade route nets me a profit of 12400$/s (at least), and the Omega 3/7 gate is not involved. So whats my incentive? Its not as profitable as it at first seemed...
