To avoid totally messing up the economy, maybe it could be reset when the server restarts? I like the idea, but I get the feeling people will give the same old "This turn it into something other than FL" argument. :\

Bad idea. You'll kill trading once and for all.

I do agree with this statement, not all routes but few (very few...)
While it is an interesting feature, the cargo ships only carry a few thousand of those products. In reality (and in terms of RP), it would probably take MILLIONS to actually make an impact on the economy.

I did not really put this forward as an idea to be put in, as I know it would mess with things, and in RP, wouldn't make sense, but I see people saying this isn't possible, and I didn't think it was, without patching.
As a matter of fact, the maker of this video has made a radar jammer that removes the ship from radar.

Oh yeah....
Oh yeah...!
Lets go!
Anyway, how bad could the lag be?

But the economy doesnt has to be that volatile anyways, it could be made so it takes hundreds of thousands of an item to make a significant change

' Wrote:Bad idea. You'll kill trading once and for all.actually you won't: when a lot of people trade at one route that route will get "killed" but because they didn't supply another base that base will have a higher need of the product -> they will pay more for it (and you'd probably be able to buy the product for less money cause more of it is produced)

I wouldn't mind assuming three things;
1; only some commodities are dynamic. Some routes should be fixed since manufacturing bases like gate/lane construction sites, terraforming sites, Pueblo etc or consumers like bases that have no native O2 supply..
They will always have a fixed buying price for their commodity since they always always need it.
If only those routes that involve dynamic free market trade in a believable fashion receive the change, then Id be all for it.
2; NPC trade convoys have to respond to any changes in an applicably real fashion.
3; it has to not cause lag.

2 is hard I think cause NPC's fly strange routes

2) I thought npc were mosly...errr... decorative, I mean, I never check what is being traded and if that route makes sense, but whatever, that makes it more realistic.
