leaky loops, closed loops and open loops, there are things to be said for all of them, closed allows you to create stuff for yourself, open loops bring in profit, leaky loops allow you to have the best of both worlds.. sometimes i create a closed loop, as you produce more ecells than are required by...

i heard on a previous post, that you dont actually have to destroy any pirates, in paranid split space, just build a station that needs the secondary resource.. and they will buy from you, boosting your rep..
