I made the Sothis / Ceos / Robigo run this morning in a
Asp setup for 100 tons of cargo.
A big *Thank you* to Victoria for the tip on Robego. I received a LOT of great missions from that station!
I learned a few things.....
1) don't take too many missions! I had 27... yes 27 missions to fulfill. I ended up running out of time and desire to finish about 6-8 of them.
2) if you hate interdictions, this is not a good smuggling run for you! They come at you fast and hard at every jump. I only encountered two large ships (Python and Conda) during my 20+ interdictions, but was able to run from all of the ones that I didn't kill.
I lost my puny shields a few times, but made it to the station in one piece. I think I'll go for bigger shields next time.
3) Don't have any RL activities planned for the next several hours once you start taking missions. The timer is anywhere from 2-10 hours per mission from what I experienced.
I plan to do the Sothis / Ceos / Robigo run again tomorrow, and will apply some learned knowledge from today's run.
Oh yeah..... I made just over $50mil in about 5.5 hours.
BTW, I was only fined once and I think it was around $14k. Chump change, to say the least.
