They can have their cake and eat it too

So this is what happens when you sell ~70,000 units of food to Sindria while it has a food shortage...

I hope for your sake that the reputation penalty is not proportional to the amount of stuff you smuggle at a time.

The rep hit is at max five points unless you sell on the black market

Max Leadership with enough Atlas to fit while still able to defend from an armada.

Food gluts... Governments get suspicious for selling a lot more food than needed unless the suspect is in good standing. My hound fast deliverers can testify.

You don't have to carry it all. You just keep ferrying it to Sindria and putting it in storage. Once the inevitable food shortage hits, you take it out of storage and dump it on the market.

So if you people are wondering why I didn't reply to this post for awhile, I was busy playing 0.65.1a and trying to beat TJJ's volume.  It took me almost a month thanks to work, but I managed to finally gather over 630k food and deposit it on Sindria.  I was going for a million but when you can only move it about 8k at a time it took a lot of fuel and time... mostly time...

And no, 0.65.1a has a bug which doesn't allow you to uncompress your saves so you can't edit your save file to try this quickly.

The only thing that seems off is that I less experience for this 630k vs. the 70k

Just FYI, the compressed save files are regular zip files now, so you can extract campaign.xml from the zip, edit it, and then put it back into the zip.

Really?  Crap...  I could've saved myself a lot of time just to sate my curiousity on getting +80 rep with pirates then...

"Food shortage on Sindria over"
"Food glut on Sindria"
"Bounty offered by Sindria"

 :D

Timing is everything.
