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.

WaylongwayYes, thanks. That's what I figured. But wanted to make sure I didn't overlook anything.

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.

3 days left in this CG, and I've already made more money than in the previous one. And that's just from trading, not including the CG reward payment that is yet to be determined.

SakashiroJust measured: A typical round trip from Sirius to Devana and back with 776t of animal meat takes 20min and earns 9.34MCr.

Should pay well this time. I’m comfortably on 25% in both defence and feed, so the rest is just trucking. But my cutter is still fledgling and I only carry 660t as I found it more efficient to use a fighter bay and big f’ing MC to collect the bounties Might as well collect the bounties along the way.

Another nice side effect is the quick advancement of my fighter pilot who was just promoted to deadly. I have a feeling she’s much more difficult to kill now, NPCs ranking master or lower have a hard time hitting her at all.
Question regarding game mechanics: do gimbaled weapons do the same amount of damage as their fixed versions when used as fixed (without target lock)?

ToveckIm trying to make the trip to beagle point but its saying "plot route unavailable (Maximume distance exceeded)" but my ship can jump 53.25LY. do i need to keep upgrading my ship or do i need to plot my own route to beagle point?
The message is not about ship's jump range but about route plotting ability. Find a way point around 10ly from you toward your target and try again. Repeat the process until you reach your destination. You can pick a way point from some of the existing Deep Space outposts
Also, worth to mention that https://www.spansh.co.uk/plotter can save a lot of time given you know how to use Neutron boost.

SakashiroSo you would go lightweight + HRP instead?
Just military grade composite and HRP
Someone knows what damage type has plasma repeater?

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.

Usually, the profit from trade CGs is in the lowest part of what you can find in one jump routes in the bubble.
What you can expect is 30-40k from 1t carried in both directions if you limit yourself to large pads and 40-55k if you use medium ship (Python being the king there)
