Transport cargo hold needs to be enlarged.

[Echo 7-7]

Moved to a more appropriate forum.

...
Simply because Logic demands it.

Balance supercedes inductive logic in many cases. This is because there are more elements to transport balance than just the size of the ship model and the size of the cargo hold. Additionally, it is current policy not to make any ships with a cargo hold greater than 5000 units; this is an arbitrary limit that has been set in order to keep economy balance manageable.

In short, cargo holds are caped at 5k because Game could not handle or will get unstable to undergo massive transactions that would occur if ship could carry lets say 15k of cargo ?

My understanding of it any ways.

Can you tell us, is there any way U would consider testing this cargo enlargement in near future ?

Maybe to create separate server only for this purpose to avoid crashing and provide people with regular game as well ?

Thanks.

No, it's not a technical limitation with the game engine at all. "... this is an arbitrary limit that has been set in order to keep economy balance manageable." In even simpler words, it's because it's easier for the developers to calculate balance at that limit.

Regardless of what the current transport ship cargo limit is, there have always been players asking to for a larger transport. This has to stop at some point, and the Developers have decided that 5k is that point.

The only way to change this would be to revamp the entire game economy from scratch - not just trading, but literally every single item and price in the game, as well as quantifying the value of various player activities. In otherwords, a pure realism approach. However, that would be an absolutely gargantuan task, and not one the Dev team is capable of doing; and is arguably not as valuable for the mod's longevity as other gameplay changes that could occur.
