Elite: Game talk

CMDR UvealPepper9326I have just noticed after 4 weeks of grinding for engineering ingredients & Faction merits that my 7 years old trade route has completely disappeared.
What has happened to the Gold, Palladium & Silver only Stations where a space trucker could load a T9 or Python of goods worth about 8 million credits gone?
7 years, 7 Rgfdfhgrfhg years... 7 years 7 God d,...mjhhhhh YEARS 7 YEARS
Well, Frontier You have killed my game play. Twice in 10 months you have altered the trucking system for us deep space truckes.
I grind without moaning.
I get forced into combat because of the cargo, I do not moan.
You HALVE the payout of these very dangerous routes last November, I do not moan...
But, I grind for my ships, get Ganked for some of these grinds goods for my ships engineering. I now need credits to fund a new ship BUT 4 weeks later after all my hard work, 13hrs a day, my Gold, Palladium & Silver specific and only goods stations for transportation are GONE.
I Don't do Combat or Mining because I cannot.
I Truck, Explore & Grind.
Frontier You have Killed the very Reason I play Elite.
Is this my worth after 36 years of loyalty Frontier?
Now I understand ALL the frustration from the other Cmdrs!
Best fix it or, as I cannot play Odyssey, console user, I'm off to No Man's Sky.
Adapt and overcome, or bitch and moan and have none.
Other things to do in ED. Why you "cant" do combat is your thing. Wing mining missions are a great way to amass currency with out much risk. Diversify your talents.

This.
The 'must have' skill, not just for traders... For everyone, literally. But I guess traders have to rely on it the most.

i was three weeks on a trip with my carrier, for exploration and mining.. found fantastic spots, sometimes 4 or 5 spots overlappinng
in that short time (exploration needs even more time) i gain nearly 1 billion only for selling the mined stuff. there are many ways to make money..

LaRone79Warum stimmt die Ware hier auf der Webseite nicht mit dem Standort überein, trotz angeblich Gerade eingetragen wurde?
spielst du im horizon oder odyssey modos? falls du horizon spielst must du bei der Warenansicht (oben rechts) den Filter für Odyssey aktiviere, dann sollten die Standorte korrekt angezeigt werden.

ChemoKids4803Isn't there a stock market price thing on here that'll basically give you new trade routes too?
There is, and its great (as is all of Inara!). Only bad part is its data is fed by users with the ED Market Connector app. With fewer players, there's less data available. I usually run short haul, single jump (20 LY or less) trade routes when I find good ones. It used to be really profitable, but over the last several weeks the trade route screen has returned fewer and fewer entries. Today there is only a single entry when I search. Would be nice if Fdev would make station commodity data universally accessible, but that's never going to happen.

XGN BlazeShadowAny idea on how to hitch a ride to Colonia?
I'd recommend checking out the Elite Carriers group or FCOC (Fleet Carrier Owners Club) on reddit. But it depends on how much time you are ok with getting there. It's faster to go yourself and take the neutron star highway. Carriers have 500 LY jump ranges but there is a 20 minute waiting period between jumps. So you are looking at around 15 hours waiting time to get there on a carrier.
