When I got to Pluto the price was 3410! So that's a whopping >0.029% profit, minus expenses. Talk about the entrepreneurial spirit! I know that Derek killed alot of the "get rick quick" schemes intentionally... like the run between GalCom and Genesis starstations in Earthz. I don't think the trade-model is the same as previous patches... I know that if u are a military caste u CAN'T trade in illegals, not matter what ( even if the star-station deals in contriband ), so that one is killed as well... if u want to go through all that mouse-time trading in ore, u can make a killing on the GalCom-Wraith run... it's alot better then a 0.029% profit margin ( which seems hardly worth the time to me )... OTS weapons from GalCom to Wraith is also very profitable... =P
