You're probably right robject. And Bael and Nonym are really just there to fill in the subsector list, I don't expect anyone to make a J3 design just to get to them.
Thanber is of course mainly just the place to go for annual maintenance, and maybe repairs. And of course you get to start from there with refined fuel in the tanks

Hmm, the backers (me) may need to recondsider allowing specualtion as part of the reasonable business plan. I'm just not sure how to give it proper consideration. Thoughts?

My old Supplement 3 shows Nonym in Darrian subsector, actually.Originally posted by Sigg Oddra:
It is according to Supplement 3
Overall, Far-trader, This is a bloody hard area to work, but I'll give it a shot. I would like to ask about adding some systems from Vilis subsector, since Thanber is so close to the border. Perhaps the SE quadrant? (assuming N is up).
Second question: if one has a route X-Y-Z, and while on X, can you check to traffic to Z or only Y?

Yep, Nonym is in the Darrian subsector.
The map provided above spans the Darrian and Querion subsectors , and if Nonym is included, then so should Torment...

Bill,
I imagine that including more lucrative worlds would cause Querion subsector to be mainly ignored!
Good question. When we decide on a route, do you want us to also fix the order in which worlds are visited, or may we choose at each stop?
Allowing a choice increases our odds of success. Also, it's more in line with a "Free" Trader, and less like a subsidized route.

It is indeed, and that was what attracted me to it
Glad to have you throw your hat in the ring
No sorry, Thanber is close to the border but to get there in J2 is a roundabout route. And I wanted to keep it to extraterritorial space, just because
You may check the tables once for each possible destination but you have to keep the results seperate and specific to the destinations. And there is only one check per stop for a speculative cargo lot, which will only really apply in Phase 2 but could be important in the design during Phase 1.
Also note, as I've seen some people get this wrong, when checking for cargo (freight) lots you roll the dice in the table and apply the modifiers. This is the total number of LOTS of that type (Major, minor, or incidental) of cargo. The next step seems to get missed by some. You roll 1d6 PER LOT to determine the number of pallets (to apply a term) and that is in the number of tons (10, 5, or 1) per type (Major, minor, or incidental) respectively.
So if you roll 3 Major cargo lots it might break down as:
Lot 1 (roll 1d6) is 4 pallets of 10tons each = 40tons
Lot 2 (roll 1d6) is 2 pallets of 10 tons each = 20tons
Lot 3 (roll 1d6) is 6 pallets of 10 tons each = 60tons
Total Major cargos = 120tons (not 30tons as some have done)

Probably true, and the reason it has been ignored, till now
Answered above, I think to your expectation. To be clear yes, more free-trader model than subbie route model, at least in Phase 2. For Phase 1 you'd be best to pick the best set of trade in the area for the type of ship you envision, even if it's only back and forth. Then in Phase 2, well, where the solar trade winds blow there you go.
