      Why I remember ejecting 780 tonnes of imperial slaves because I thought I had purchased Imperial salves. I panicked when I realized I was carrying illiciate goods instead of medical supplies. I was also shocked when it hit me that I wasnt just setting them free.
      it was a day of harsh lessons and lost credits

    The biggest trick to making money with a small ship is flexibility. When I upgraded to a Cobra I sacrificed a bit of cargo space for a passenger cabin. A few 1-mil passenger jobs built the bank account quickly. Added an SRV bay for planetary missions. At that level you can still make more running missions than you can trading cargo. Now that I'm in an area where I can make 3.5 mil in 10-15 minutes on a quick loop in my Clipper I find it hard to motivate myself to do the missions I need to do.

    I’d like to know more about NPC interdiction. I’m considering trading in a Cutter or Type 10. Is it common to avoid an NPC interdiction? If not what is the strategy? Should I fight the NPC? If so what combat ranking do they usually have? Do I drop a few mines and try to get back into super cruise?

    • @digbick437

      Excuse the late response, I hope you were able to solve this. Two ways you can try if not - try uninstalling the passenger cabins from the ship. If that doesn't work you can eject cargo or self destruct 💥
