Cool, That helps. One time I wasted 8K upgrading all my freighters to a higher speed frieghter that I designed hee hee

Does the speed of the frieghter have any effect on the route at all? I have read posts about folks getting 5-10K per turn trading and so far the most Ive been able to get out of them are 2K (that was with 11 routes
