3.9 Hauling Convoy 05022020

Timbur's Log Stardate 02.05.2950

Recap of Today's Cargo Run's:

Made 298,623 profit in credits. We traded between Arial and Lorville. The wind was really bad at lorville blowing the ships around and off course. I teamed up with Mystr, SQ and Limp. SQ lost a load to a 30k. Mystr flew a cat for me and I paid him 121,824 or 40% of the profits of the day. I posted a link to my Wage calculator.

Teaming up with SQ, Selwyn and Rich_Banks, we wanted to test scaling up our cargo operations to see if flying a command ship, plus multiple cargo ships would result in a faster profit per minute. The theory comes from the long transit times running to and from the buy and sell console. If we give this job to only ONE ship owner, could we spawn multiple cargo vessels while still sharing the same minimum time running from ship to console? The ideal run would have the command ship arriving before the cargo vessels to buy and sell at the trade console the second the cargo ship arrives. An added advantage is that multiple cargo ships could also be added to the route to multiply the profit of the run. Factor in the high supply and demand for some commodities, we can push them to their limits with this method. An example how having a lead ship could double profits and shorten loop time The standard method of hauling cargo is by having two players on one caterpillar. The Owner and the

Theorycraft: 4 Freelancer Max's versus 1 Caterpillar

MISC Freelancer Max, 120 SCU Crew:1-2 Top Speed: 1000 Mass: 336,230 kg aUEC Cost: 2,181,500 $ per SCU: 18,179 Drake Caterpillar, 566 SCU Crew: 2-4 SCM speed: 130 m/s Afterburn Speed: 890 m/s Mass: 1,608,205 kg aUEC Cost: 4,686,600 $ per SCU: 8,280 The question is, will four freelancer Max's be able to out haul one caterpillar? In terms of SCU, the Freelancer Max has 120 SCU, even with four Max's the combined SCU of 480, is 86 SCU less. Nearly an entire Constellation Andromeda's worth. Looking at the price per SCU even though the caterpillar cost over four and a half million credits, it only costs 8,280 credits per SCU were one Max will 18,179 per SCU. Speed and mass is where the freelancer Max excels over the caterpillar, but can four Max's earn more profit per minute than the Drake Behemoth?  Let's find out in this in this article. Let's check the most profitable routes on Gallog, Slam from Private Property to Cru-L5, look p

Mantis Attack!

3.7.1 Live it's time to hit the cargo routes hard! This patch brings a whole new advantage as this is one of the first patches were progress wasn't wiped. I started out right were I left of yesterday with a full 1.38 million credits! The downside is that prices also remain unaffected so we're not going to see a change in prices, which results in prices going up for commodities, lower profit margins at the terminal and less profit for all of us. It's great to see the game play of the economy working out though and we'll have to consider the options. Mantis players are also getting bolder, and today I ran into my frist Player-Pirate interdiction, Scarlet_Briar.
