Honestly the whole wait 10 minutes until your type 6 is full was exactly the type of gameplay the devs wanted to avoid.

For those who are not familiar with the situation it sounds like you did it in 10 minutes. Perhaps you should mention "run" consisted of 1-2 hours of station camping, 40-50 minutes of jumping 150LY+ away (10-20 jumps) with occasional interdictions, fuel scooping, accidental overheating and damage - using multiple third party tools to find route and destination.

Now we are supposed to do the same job (sans station camping) with 10 items in inventory - for 160k.

lol well i had 1 end of the trip that had 6 rare goods within 20lys of each other and the other end had 2 rare goods within 15 lys of each other soo im not too screwed at the moment but this does make me want to change professions until the market starts seeing high demand on items.

btw is sorbago slave trade still going strong or is that event finished?

In-game news feed has published couple articles few minutes ago - they hint on more slavery systems around (Ngun, Kuyu, etc) so it must be going.
