Ship mass!

Post by Azereiah »

I'm going to go ahead and assume that there are no ships suited even remotely to shipping metal.
To fill your cargo hold with various metals, you'll end up with a ship mass at 11000% or so - at least, on the Llama.

Any alternate, more efficient types of cargo to transport early on?

Surprise: cargo ships - like Plowshare and Dodo.
Yup, they are ugly boxes with thrusters that do nothing else, and not going to be easy to pilot when filled with metal, but at least you'll need only one run in most cases. And after all, "10000%" load for Llama will be about 2000% for Plowshare. Of course, Llama has stronger thrusters in the first place, and overdrive helps more. For metals, try Dodo - it got 1/3 of Llama's hold (unfortunately, the cargo pod doesn't work right) with 3x of its thrust.
Either way, consider thrusters comparable in cost with the box itself. Plowshare with overdrive-6 is not going to be pretty, but it's handleable, in that e.g. you may take all metals from a commercial station and mining base, and then still dock with Clydesdale. :)
