A well engineered Krait Phantom can make the trip Luyten-Lave-Luyten (2 jumps each with just under 60 LY range) with 48 tons of Brandy in 11 minutes, just in time for a restock. That makes 240t per hour. Easy CG-Goal Submiting to NPC-interdictions and boosting away is faster than avoiding. My phantom gets around 500 under boost, enough to be safe with some shields. Enjoy!

...just discovered that if you try and super charge your frameshift drive and hit the star from the distortions and drop in the cone, you get massive module damage, not from the heat either (though when you charge it to jump out that does make it even worse, got up to 190 heat).  I managed to escape somehow, but had my butt clenched b/c of the rare goods I was carrying for the community goal.

...also, Yurchikhin Port and its star really needs it's own nav beacon ffs.

Does anybody know what the regen rate is for these rare goods?

Sir SprockettDoes anybody know what the regen rate is for these rare goods?

I think every 10 minutes, unless you have some of it already in your cargo.

If you have the max limit in your cargo they do not regen. If you have 0 in cargo they regen immediately.

Best cheat is to have someone go buy and drop them for you.

SakashiroAre NPC interdictions really that difficult to evade?


Only in a Type-9 and only against at least deadly Anacondas. Even then sometimes I'm able to evade. But now and then not.


And this is why I intend to outfit my trading Type-9 with some basic shields and a heatsink and chaff. Just enough to GTFO if I fail an interdiction.

There are tutorials available on YouTube on how to escape interdictions. But face it, a Type 9 is generally a sitting duck... Maybe you can arrange an escort with your squadron members...?

1 thing I've learned is to have an escape course already plotted & have a GTFO key mapped to instantly bring it up as a destination when needed. Maybe you're doing that already...

I don't have a T-9 but I do have a T-10, which isn't much better; they both handle like a drunk hippo on ice skates... at least, the T-10 can manage to defend itself better, altho, at the cost of not hauling as much.

That's why I have a fighter bay equipped on it & hired & trained a SLF pilot.

I have a small shield equipped, but it only holds very few seconds. Haven't tried chaff with the T-9 yet and will do so.

Yes, did that. But the fsd or the power plant was gone before it had charged. Well, some loadouts aren't suited very well for some specific tasks. It was interesting to try, anyway.

Just an FYI that I haven't tried this build personally.  Still doing trades in my Type 7 but plan on the upgrade soonish.

Hola a todos! Estoy haciendo mi primer viaje de 5000 años luz. Ya he escaneado muchos sistemas y planetas y algunos de ellos descubiertos por mi. Todavia me quedan unos 2000 años luz mas y la vuelta. Me aterra perder todos los datos que consiga. Aguna sugerencia para no perderlos? Gracias

Si tu rol lo permite la opcion "solo" te permitira llegar a puerto seguro.


Hola! Si tengo esa opcion! Pero me pasó en una ocacion en ese modo, que me interdictaron y me reventaron la nave! No se si eso es normal


Dejame saber cuando estes de vuelta y te escoltare, si lo prefieres puedo darte entrada a mi porta naves cuando estes cerca y llevarte a sistema seguro... Me encuentras en el escuadron Shadow Wolfes en 41 Lambda. Siempre en open rol.

Has FDev reduced the spawn rate of high grade materials?

They can be a bit difficult in the flying brick without some thruster engineering.

PM me if you need some assistance, I haul for a living, and trade is my game. I can help.
