Precisely what I would have written. I'm at the Type-6 phase and am doing giant full load Rare runs from one side of the map to the other; it's not the most efficient, I realize, but it's fun and my kind of trading!
A million invisible upvotes.

My problem is that trading seems to be rigged. I had one trade, on-paper, that was going to be 2550cr/t, but when I showed up with cargo, I only got about 2070cr/t, and that only lasted a few trades before I had to move on. They'd only offer the higher price if I didn't have any in my cargo hold. And since then, my trades that should be 2000-2100cr/t, are only delivering 1700-1800cr/t.
But that's still a 50% improvement, so who's complaining?

And I've run dozens of trade tests, and it really feels like a shell game. I'd almost swear that they look at my cargo and then decide the prices. It goes something like this:
Cargo:
0% A = high price
0% B = high price
100% A = low price
0% B = high price
0% A = high price
100% B = low price
25% A = high price
75% B = low price
50/50 = both for average of high & low price.
and etc., over and over, back and forth, up and down ... <_<

I'm at a system where the system map says it imports Gallite so I go to the station and it actually supply it at HIGH
I go to the next station in the same system which also says imports Gallite, I can only buy it here too, ie export??
So the system map is not dynamic and is unreliable
Are the "trade routes" any indication of hint of a decent trade?
