Many times you can replace your shields with more cargo space, but as we mentioned above, pirates are a huge threat to traders, and not having your shields could mean the destruction of your ship and all your cargo. To purchase additional cargo slots, you can visit any Outfitting section in any applicable space station (Outposts don’t sell ship upgrades). Since the focus of this article is normal trading, you’ll want to make sure you have as much cargo space as your ship can handle. There is normal station to station trading which this article will focus on, and then there is Rare Trading thatwe’ll get into in a future article. This may sound like common sense but it deserves to be said.
More Cargo Space Equals More Profit in Most Cases. TIP: Giving in to the interdiction will allow your Frame Shift Drive to cool-off faster (10 seconds versus the 40 second cooldown you’ll receive if you fail to escape the Interdiction), which means you can escape four times faster than if you tried to fight it. If you happen to get intercepted by a pirate, you can simply throttle down your speed until you give in to the interdiction and get pulled from Supercruise.
This can be accomplished by simply detouring slightly while traveling towards your destination.
However, as a trader, you’ll want to take longer journeys to stations while traveling in Supercruise. The quickest way from one point to another is a straight line, we can’t deny that. As a trader, you’ll need to be careful and keep your head on a swivel for any pirates in the area.
