Is it possible to have a flhook command that swaps commodities around in your hold? Because I'm thinking you take your ore to a smelter, then type /smelt and your ore becomes the refined version of what you just mined (gold ore -> gold).
Fiddle around with prices and rules saying who can transport what and you've got a new system promoting the miner/hauler relationship.

Not much point. Most of the ore destinations are the same place and/or very near the actual commodity's destination. In effect, you'd be getting a 2k per unit commodity for a 3.5k (at least) purchase.
