looking for a trade wing

I'm looking for fellow commanders to join me in a trade focused wing, i have 3 ships so would prefer people to come and join me but i will move my base if the trade route is good enough.

my current route is as follows:
125 Ly from Sol, federal systems.
High Tech/Ref to Ref/Extraction
station to station trading with 2 jumps of 8.61 & 13.01 Ly.
stations are approx 800 & 1200 l/s from the jump point.
intermediate system is populated but only has distant outposts (50k l/s)

Out:
Progenitor Cells or Consumer Tech at approximately 1300 credits per tonne profit

Return:
Silver at approximately 850 credits per tonne profit

in a type 9 you are looking at a little over a million credits for a return trip.

Trade route Combat rating:

Mostly harmless, very few interdiction's in any of the three systems.

Current Ships:

Type 9: 496 Tonnes
Anaconda: 400 Tonnes
Python: 128 Tonnes

Times online: various but am usually around between midday GMT and midnight

cool, i've sent you the trade route details and my cmdr name via PM, see you out there ;)

also, i forgot to mention that one of the systems has 5 resource extraction sites right by the station so if you want to do a bit of bounty hunting there isn't far to go.

one thing we may need to do over the next few days is to research some new trade routes, put a T9 a T7 and an Anaconda on the same run for any length of time and profits start to drop.

for that i'd suggest splitting up into groups of two to scope out any likely candidates, one of us could jump to a high tech system while the other checks out nearby extractions. once docked it would be easy to compare prices and work out how much can be made between the two systems and the players could then make a one way test trade to time the route and confirm the profit per tonne.

with 2 teams out looking i'm sure we will have a few routes to chose from before very long.

I'd be interested in helping out... I have a well outfitted Cobra with decent jump range so I can offer wing protection, or help scouting.
