Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

I was reading in game news. I noticed that the faction running sothis is trying to attract pilots to the system. Taking this into account it fits the narrative that fringe systems pay big for our support. I'm happy to fly 600 ly round trips with interdictions, fines and pirates. 12 million an hour s...

Because the point of the game is "play" and I can't play when people attack without warning. Can't stand PvP.

Just started playing a couple of weeks ago. I'm grinding the fringe smuggler mission now. Made 12 million in about 30 minutes today. Got interdicted, had my canopy shot out and just made it to a station with 1.20 life support.

Thinking about power play next. What's a good power to join for a trader?
