Not to the missions, but just general suggestions to make trade easier and more convenient.

1. Sell tab shows what was paid for each item
2. Sell tab shows total salable price of all goods (just the total of what you would get if you sold everything you had at a station)
3. Some sort of way to get a rating on how something is selling at other stations. I can call up people in chicago and find out what gas prices are, but I can't send a message to Remeley Orbital to find out what plasma cores are going for there.
4. A 25% discount for my char and all alts on all goods sold at all bases :)

Hah, I like points 1 and 2, there would have to be a semi-large fee incurred for point 3 (perhaps based off the item you are checking up on.) otherwise it would be entirely too easy to build up to the minute, ultimate trade routes.

i think that #3 is the most inportant. #1+2 you can do youreself with a pencil and paper, but the main thing preventing me from engaginmg in frelance trade is the dificulty in finding a good rout. Especialy since prices can change based on how much people sell. even if it costs 50 to 100 cr to call another station i think it would be worthwile.

If you could call another station for a quote, I think good trade routes would become even harder to find.

What makes a trade route profitable is nobody knowing about it, if everyone could easily find the best price for an item in the universe those routes wouldn't be profitable very long.

Right now, trade is insanely easy. I can take a level 0 character and earn millions doing barely any work. I like #1 and #2, but #3 would serve only to make trade even easier. Personally, I think all trade profits and mission monetary rewards should be reduced by 50%, but that's just me.

If you people want #3, you can show your support and we (TGFT) might make it possible. Of course, with the fee.
Although our price "quotes" won't be perfect, if people will show interest in trading with us, we'll make it close as perfect as possible. We make free trade our business.
