I've reined my trader in until OSC routes get a buff. I live very frugally, and rely only on a 1.5-2m buffer from my pirate every week or so to keep my ships repaired.
So, just wondering if anyone else isn't powertrading for a battleship?
Never traded, never will. All my chars are BHG|, and selfsustained economically by bounty claims and mission pay.
Heck, as I can make 8+ million cr on a single mission, who needs to trade ?
Out of bats, Out of bots, Out of torps - Down to harsh language...
well I'm not powertrading for a battleship, but I do like to have 200~ million in the bank in case I need it for anything. Right now I'm floating at around 50m, after buying a slave liner.
At the moment I am slowing building up enough for a BS, but I'm not saying I'm actually going to buy one. I just want the large amount of money for emergencies. I got 360 million so far, but had that before I started (started today actually).

I despise powertrading. It removes the sense that one "worked" for a ship, because inRP, the cash one gets from another account (powertrader) is the cash one gets from a "good friend". I like to earn my own living.
Although that approach doesn't let me access expensive ships... But I'm fine with that. :)
I do trading for the roleplay. The money is spend trying out different ships and setups on trading-vessels. I am not interested in big warships.
I recently put hard credits on my traders to motivate pirates a little and to motivate myself to survive. The pirate who can take one of my fleeing traders down is worth this bonus.
