After reading Carlos Benitez post here:
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...1067&st=40#

I've realized that implementing looping trade routes ( both clockwise and anti-clockwise for different commodities ) going around Sirius would solve quite a few issues that people were having, particularly on the RP server.

1. Less boring for traders: They get a "tour" all over Sirius while getting the maximum profit at the same time

2. Trade routes looping around Sirius would encourage greater trader/pirate/police/military activity in almost all parts of Sirius ( instead of people taking the lazy routes that lead to NY ).
See this post by Dab for a simple explanation:
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...1067&st=40#

3. Reduce the amount of camping ( eg Pirates camping the same old route that loads of traders use )

I think that implementing trade routes that loop through outer systems would greatly benefit everyone and encourage more diverse role-play.

Here's a rough little diagram to represent general trade route direction ( NY is in the centre )

>>>>V
^V<<V
^>>^V
^<<<<

A good way to balance this is to make the inner trade routes safer ( closer to house systems ) but less profitable and make the outer routes more profitable but more dangerous ( they pass through pirate systems ).

Credits to Carlso Benitez and Dab for their original ideas ;)
