rare trading in a conda

Ok, bored stupid flying the Wurango, 62 UM, daraki, hayar circle and was looking to go back to rares as it was a lot more fun plus there was more to shoot at! ( i do like getting interdicted in my conda, guns...lots of guns :D )

I recall never being able to get over 80 tons on my old rare route, Leesti, fujin etc, think it was 23 systems in total.

Anyone got any thoughts/pointers on filling the beasts big belly and making it worthwhile, currently at 400 tons capacity with 16.47 ly range.

No platforms obviously!

Only thing I can think of is if you did the Diso CG a couple of weeks ago then you are entitled to 50 tons of the Diso ma corn which will bump up the load a fair bit. I did a run the other day just from the Lave cluster and with the corn i got an easy 98 tons with no waiting for commodity markets to refresh.
Not much help I know but since getting the bigger ships I generally don't bother with the rares although i can see the attraction of the excitement from the interdiction's :)

Thanks, I didnt do the Diso CG and still got the 50 tons....think its broke! Thought it was odd that I could buy 50 tons, now I know why.

Heading back for more :-)

Been using Thrudds on the old rare route and have worked out what to fill up on and take to my next rare system. Working out about 6 mil an hour if I pull my finger out....not been interdicted once :-( and I have all these guns too...muhahahaha.

If anyone wants to wing up let me know, little friends most welcome and you will make some decent cash on the trade divi.

Hail CMDR General Specific,

I haven't done the rare trade route in a while, but I do have fond memories of running my ASP around and getting interdicted! I would be open to joining up with you and running that route, although admittedly I am pretty rusty at rares, and might have a few questions.

Which route are you running, and is there a new resource available for the rares circuit?
