Hey
Count me in. I can provide escort or do some trade runs. My current trade run has dried up somewhat, so am looking for a new one.

I have 2 ships:
    Jump friendly T9
    A rated Vulture

I am usually anytime between 17.00hrs and 22.00hrs GMT.

Commander Name: Makit So

i think a scouting session or 2 would be good, finding a trade route that wont degrade too quickly when you have a thousand tonnes of cargo capacity working it isn't an easy task.

the main problem is the jump range of the T9, even with a smaller fuel tank fitted its only possible to squeeze 13.06 Ly out of it. this makes long trade routes a real pain in the Asp.

ideally we need routes with high supply, high demand and low distance, they also have to be station to station runs for the larger cargo ships.

i wont be on again until later tonight but i'll start collecting names via here and the facebook group to put a list together of people you should add to your friends list for the trade wing.

I've returned to an old route of mine, its a one jump 3 stopper between a high tech and an ag/ref system with 800, 450 and 900 per tonne profit on each leg.

with only 4.71 Ly between systems its a route suitable for all jump ranges, the approximate station distances are 675 Ls to the high tech, 125 Ls to the agricultural station and a further in system jump of 1400 Ls to the refinery.

if anyone would like to join me send me a message in game, navigation to the system is made easy by the fact that its name is only 3 letters long ;)

my cmdr name can be found on the left.

had a good night last night, my trade route burned out in the end due to a civil war in one system and the fact that we had 1500+ tonnes of cargo being moved every time ;)

we have now moved to a more central location

over the evening we had a cobra, a type 6, 2 type 9's and an anaconda in the wing. interdiction by pirates was rare and short lived but we did start getting a lot of hassle from the system defense forces in Patocuda and as prices had started to fluctuate we decided to move to a new system.

Deep in Empire space at the moment but if I find myself back towards the centre I'll come and join. I've moved from a Cobra to an Asp now, so can shift cargo and help defend the wing.

Thanks for a good time yesterday Andy and FreeRaven :)

I'll share my little nest egg (if you'll share your T9 loadout Andy! ;)):

Leesti (buy adv. cat.) to Aasgaa (buy gold). A to B stuff. A couple of jumps (one less once I get my hands on Andy's loadout....)

Fly safe commanders. :)

you'll notice that i use a size lower power plant (saving 30 tonnes) and i've taken the shields down a slot size as well, apart from that its mostly about using D rated parts as they are often the lightest. depending on the route i often fit a smaller fuel tank as well, here i have a half size tank but our current route could just about be made with a quarter size tank.
