SakashiroSakashiroJust measured: A typical round trip from Sirius to Devana and back with 776t of animal meat takes 20min and earns 9.34MCr.
I just looked at Inara's trade route page and realized I could make three times as much profit outside the CG.
I'm in the top 10% with 25Kt hauled, but now I'm tempted to drop out and take on those big jobs instead. I had no idea there's so much money in hauling! Never paid attention to it before.
Main reason I sold the conda and bought the cutter was to do daily agro -> silver loop. Just once a day for 14 mill or so before the market woke up. Then onto more interesting matters.

WarCat72Is it safe to ask questions in here that show my general ignorance about certain game mechanics?
There are no stupid questions. We are all learning, constantly

WarCat72I play mainly on the PS4, and I really want to be able to look around the cockpit, and look straight up when I am approaching a planet or station that is "above" my ship. Is that a VR only thing, or is there a control that allows me to do that?
There is, yes. I have no idea which button it's on PS4 tho. Check your keybindings.
Maybe this can help.

no. you can set it up in your control bindings. this is what i did for my Logitech Extreme 3d Pro. Ooops. Missed the PS4 part. I hope it has something similar.

Click in one of the thunbsticks (I forget which one), then you can physically tilt your controller around to look around. Click the same thunbsticks to turn it off and go back to centerline.

Thanatos au GrimmusWaylongwayYes, thanks. That's what I figured. But wanted to make sure I didn't overlook anything.
I haven't checked if the bounties of other factions also count towards the CG. As you said they can be handed in at Spirit of Laelaps not only for Sirius Corp and I always handed in all. Need to test.
Sure thing. I believe the following factions count towards the CG (they issue bounties on each other): Freedom party of Sirius, Sirius Silver Mafia, Nationalists of Sirius, and Sirius Free. Of course, you can turn in bounties on others but I don't believe they will count toward CG.
Just tested to hand in bounties separately per faction.
It is possible to hand in bounties at Spirit of Laelaps authorities for all factions present in Sirius. For the CG only those from Sirius Corp are counted. Additional bounties from factions of other systems can be handed in here like always through interstellar factor. They neither count towards the CG of course.

and of course, remember to KWscan them all as naughty boys and girls in one faction are generally naughty boys and girls in all factions so will end up paying out in the CG anyway. I just had a Type 10 interdict me during the trade CG. It was wanted by Hutton Truckers but when I KWscanned it I got more for it from Sirius than I did from Hutton.

Yes, fast KWS bound to fire group. And I don't discriminate as long as they are wanted. But highest bounty first. So it's usually Conda popping.

Hm, I haven't considered that option. But I thought about getting elite in CQC... How foolish was I
Congratulations! Now you may train an NPC crew pilot from harmless to elite. It is a lot easier when you have the rank.

Ty. Actually I already have an elite pilot built from harmless. Probably why it took me so long to get the Combat Elite. Waste imo. The pilot still dies as soon as it gets agro no matter what level it is.
