Traders: To pay or not to pay

[Ponge]

Yes, your calculation seems fair, but approximate values are good too, you won't make a calculation every time.
I say I'd pay (in case of an 5k ship) 0.5-2 mill for empty ship or low value cargo, like water or oxygen or base construction materials, 2-5 mill for moderate value cargo (diamonds, metals, etc) and 5-10 mill for high value cargo (ores, He3, raw hydrocarbon, the mineable and high sell value stuff). If the demand is above 10 mill... well, it depends on the situation.
And the 50-100 mill demands are just for your blue, and lolwuttery.
