Yeah, just this weird idea I had that since I'm getting out of a lot of stuff, that maybe I'd set up an RP trader or two. First that popped into my head was Planetform, but what good routes are there? Off of Planetform bases, the only ones that showed was silver from Canterbury to California Minor. From Harris and Minor, the only things out of there good is prisoners (not very RP) and out of Perth, all there is is oxygen and water (not happening, I wanna make some money).
So I was thinking... where are terraforming gasses, fertilizers, etc. sold? Obviously it's best to steer clear of Kusari on this...
My old planetform trader that got wiped a bit ago actually carried tradelane parts from Pueblo to Harris.
Then I moved something off Harris, I don't quite remember what but I know it wasn't prisoners. (perhaps passengers or VIPs?)
Planetform is one of those that are just tough in general because they deal in gases and basic elements, which don't go for much. Try something related, like perhaps plut or alien organisms.
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
You could get Terraforming Gasses from Birmingham Station, but they sell for the same as on Perth, and also from Dortmund Station where it sells for 5. Silver goes well from Kensington to Los Angeles, and then bringing Superconductors back to Southampton. It's something like 300 credits for Silver and 700 for Superconductors, but still it's nice.
Fertilizers are sold in Rheinland where the ALG make them (you know that) and also in the Tau's where Samura makes them to compete with Synth Foods, but, Kusari keeps you out of there.
Silver is used in Terraforming due to cloud seeding, by the way, so it is viable for Planetform to move it.
Can't think of anything else, really. Check Gateway's trade routes for anymore that I might've missed...
EDIT: And Kurraine was adding Neon as a commodity next version, so that might add something for you...

[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
Response from Synth Foods Pilot Theres nothing wrong with water, oxygen, and fertilizers. I carry them often enough and sometimes you can make 10k or even 30k on a load of 2000
OOC. Ya youre not going to get rich fast carrying that stuff, but if the RP is important to you, well
You can get Silver from its mining place, in Omega 7, Wismar Station (north of the trade lane to Stuttgart).
Alien Organisms are mined on Kurilen, as far as I know, but as Kurilen is a Samura controlled planet...
According to an NPC rumor, there is an Alien Organism trade run from Newark to the terraforming planets... never tried it out yet though.
Well, you could of course mine the organisms in Beta:laugh:
