There are also a few points I'm interested in addressing, specifically in that I'd like to hear the overall explanation as to why that route is being chosen:
Quote:Overall profits will be lowered
why, necessarily? In what way? And in what form? Are you thinking to make Ores sell for less? finished goods more? Contraband actually reflect the pricing nature of contraband?
Quote:Trade routes will have maximum profitability for inter house trading at an average of 15 min/run
Maximum profitability in terms of overall sell price should be based on both lore, faction RP, and distance traveled.
15 minutes seems a bit on the small side, and I honestly don't want to turn every house or corporate run into a 15-minute milkrun. Trips to the Omicrons should pay out more for commodities that would be in demand out there (i.e. food, luxury goods, stuff from Gallia) Stuff from Rheinland should sell higher in Liberty, considering the state of war between the two. Same with goods between Gallia and Sirius. Prometheum should sell high at Sirius research labs, based on scarcity. Iridium should sell high everywhere but the Omicrons, etc.
