I found it absolutely horrible. The cargo scooping mechanic is tedious and having to do it over and over again for long enough to fill even a moderately sized cargo hold made me want to claw my own eyes out.

That is the profit of buying X, jump twice, sell X, buy Y, jump twice, sell Y. I make 955cr on X and 1784 on Y. Gives me slightly over 2700cr per ton and roundtrip, i.e. going back and forth between two stations.
If they want me to risk my ship and cargo they would have to at least double that (considering Im out 3.7 mil on X on the way there and in a ship thats 33 million in hull and upgrades I am not in the mood to hand that over to some bum playing "pirate" who refuse to put in time and grind into actually making his own money) and give me cargo Insurance.

Agricultural (imp slaves) -> High Tech (Land enrichment systems), takes me 2 jumps to get from A to B. Seems to be Heavy traffics in the systems tho, but for some reason people dont seem to connect the dots and do the trade I do because the demand/supply has yet to change the last week.
20 trips or so until I get myself a Python and settle down with that ship. I love my current Imperial Clipper, but the hardpoint placements are all wrong and I struggle to do combat in it.

When I get home today I'll post my location and the refinery I'm patrolling for bounties. I got back online last night and made 100k in about 30 minutes of fighting. What is SWEET about asteroid fields is that all ships are Mass Locked so they can't warp out without clearing a fair amount of distance between them and the asteroid field.
So I'm probably going to stay here until I get a few million. Several times some big bounty Python's and Anaconda's with Plasma Accelerator weapons have showed up and started laying waste to the local secruity forces...but it seems to escalate because I've seen Security Anaconda's warp in and start a huge fight with the bigger wanted ships. The other night for instance, I got a 83k bounty after I used my K-Warrant scan on a python and 10 minutes later I got a 70k bounty after k-warrant on an anaconda.
I've also seen Anaconda's with a 600cr bounty on them...probably for attacking something by accident.
In those instances, I unload everything I can then float around asteroids so I can avoid their line of fire.

I've been hanging out at a resource extraction site around Taureni B 10 killing lots of wanted guys. The issue I have though is sometimes the Federal Security Services turn on me and I'm lucky to get away before they blast me out of space. Maybe I'm accidentally hitting one in the crossfire but last time I was supper careful and almost positive not to and they still started shooting me after we killed the 4-5 wanted guys. One of which was a Master in a Cobra and only gave a 200cr bounty, hah.
