Negative consequences of moving best premium scrap selling points to Gallia

[Haste]

Profit per unit of time invested is what your average trader really cares about. In the case of P-Scrap, I believe credits/second is vastly inferior to other ores. As Jammi pointed out, someone suffering from large-number-o-phobia decided to nerf the crap out of premium scrap as its profit per unit (not time, mind you) was a bit higher than that of other ores.

If the old routes encouraged more smuggling and thus more activity, it's foolish (in my opinion) not to try to revert things a little.

Not sure why people are surprised that a faction like the RFP suffers activity-wise from a lack of smugglers. The most police-like activity a police faction can take part in is regulating/intercepting illegal commodities. Taking down hostile cruisers and stuff is more of a military thing.
