I've always thought that upkeep costs are what we need. Not so much making money hard to get, so that people have to trade for ages to earn their ships, but making it hard to KEEP, so everyone, even vets, have to continue trading, every now and again.
After all, if newbs can get a taste of the good stuff earlier, it might make em keener. And we want to have vet traders too, cos its nice to have traders that RP. Myself, I havnt had to trade since the 85 gold rush, and having more money than I could ever need has taken the risk and fun out of it, the effort, goal and struggle. Thats why I do the hardcore charcter thing.
P.S: Poll master race.
