UOG are about to attack NY

[Carlos_Benitez]

IMO, give each house an almost exclusive "Selling" commodity, and an almost exclusive "buying" commodity.
Eg. Bretonia sells Gold, buys Optronics.
Rheinland sells Diamonds, buys Gold perhaps?
Kusari buys Diamonds, sells Optronics.
At the same time, Liberty buys all these commodities for 2/3 of the price of the best selling point. Liberty sells Luxury Consumer Goods which can be sold at any of the outer Houses, for 2/3 of the profit that outer-house trading would yield.
This can be made a little more complex, but basicly re-instills an old system that was good but needed rebalancing (from Vanilla). Make it so that, if they want to gain 2/3 of the profits, a trader can choose to go back and forth between an outer-house and liberty, or...if they choose to make maximum profit, go in loops, Kusari>Tau>Bretonia>Omega>Rheinland>Sigma>Kusari, allowing traders to make profit while touring all of Sirius, providing piracy opportunities for all, and policing opportunities for all, whilst gently discouraging as much traffic through Liberty, in favour of the borderworlds.
Perhaps there could be both a clockwise and counter-clockwise version of the route.

I agree, revitalising the more tired and lonely houses should be a priority.
