Limited Items

Sep 03, 2008 Phish link
The basic idea of this, and I'm sure it's been suggested before, is that stations don't
have an infinite amount of weaponry/ships in their outfitters.

Having a certain number of ships/equipment (and even trade goods) at a station
would allow for a more variable price on such items, as well as allowing someone to
sell a ship to a station that doesn't normally buy it, and having it appear on the list
of buyable ships.

Stations would of course have a basic supply of whatever ships and or items they
normally sell. This would also allow the idea of blockading a station by not allowing
the required shipments to go through. Or, allowing someone to buy a ship here, fly
it across the universe and sell it for quite a large bit of money.

My major thought is that it might also make people care a bit more about dying,
considering their right ship might not where they want it when they want it,
specially if each station is slightly different.

Thoughts?
