trading/cargo suggestion

Jul 11, 2004 Ciuciu link
Well in previos release the thing that bost trading was a station specific cargo, which could be bought only in that particular sector (or station.. since it was only one per sector)

Currently every station has the same stock so it's hard to find out what is needed by which station.. so..

I suggest taht each faction should have it's own unique cargo thath you could buy.. for example 4 types:
- 2 which you could always buy - cheap and common (you might be able to buy it even in other faction-friendly stations)
- 1 which you could get when you are respected, more expensive (but more money for that.. aobut a 1.000c for unit)
- 1 which you will get when admired... very expensive, and rare cargo (more than 3.000c)

Why? Because if you buy a pice for 6.000c from let's say TGP, go to NT station you will be able to sell it for about 9.000c! (althought prices in systems where TGP stations appears could be drasticly lower..aobut 100c diffrence)

This require some mission twaking so you won't get a mission to buy sth you can't possibly buy (or you could? you have to find a player who bought that thing for you for some extra money or sth?)

The next part is to make a cargo a bit more expensive, or at least a bit more various in costs (range from few c to 4.000c ..) right now the most expensive cargo I'm able to buy cost about 1.000c, and it's because it's rare at that particular staiton.

And another suggestion: right now most faction's stations are in NT airspace.. well.. i agree that NT are trader nation, and staion should be there, but few more could be between itani and serco (BTW don't you think that itani have to many secotrs compared to .. say NT?)

What I would liketo see is trade based on distance as well as rarity, or at least certain stations requiring specific raw materials to manufacture finished products. A real dynamic economy based on supply and demand? I don't know if this is possible without a lot of micromanaging. Just my 2¢ worth
