I was considering upgrading my Cobra MIII to a MIV but after some msg with Kail I have decided to keep the Ship I have. The III is much faster than the IV.
23:35hr Foxgateway - LTT 9097 multi-crew
Kail is trading imperial slaves
I joined him on board but the connect locked up during the jump. Had to Ctrl Alt Del disco and restart
Hopkins Dock -Corbin
Rejoined Multi crew - reconnect with Kail - he has 512 Slaves destined for ... I assume it was LTT 9097 but I never made it my game locked up during the jump again.
Considering Imperial Slaves:
Kail explained that Imperial Slaves are specific. Not all slaves are equal. If I understand correctly Imperial Slaves are more like volunteers. They are contracted and treated well. Sounds like they are similar to foreign workers.
This is very good news as the profit margin on Imperial Slaves is wide. With a Cobra MIII maxed out for cargo space there is room for 40t. At Yimanbin the goods are about $13.5k per ton and sell at Tetrian for about $18.5k per ton. Profit would be $164k. With my ASP x and a cargo hold of 120t the profit per run would be about $493k
There are even better runs nearby. EDDB shows a loop that would net over $700k/loop for the ASPx.
They say that Imperial Slaves have it better than normal ones, making the point that the Imperial ones eventually get out of slavery once their debt has been payed. But I have heard opposition to this argument "But this is the delusion, though - There is no difference, in the end. Slavery is slavery is slavery - It doesn't matter if you want to be enslaved or not. It's the same concept as supposedly legitimate 'elected dictatorships', as ancient Greek democracies often turned into, where people would vote away their freedoms for the supposed security and protection promised by a would-be despot. You cannot vote away your rights, any more than you can legitimately sell yourself into slavery, which is the same thing, essentially. As a human being, you can't give away your right to freedom - it's a permanent, unalienable right. " Virgil Kyle 2014
