Hey!

First time posting here, since I tend to stay away from the economy.
So what i was thinking is that the Freeports and Freelancer bases, should be buying more general commodities.
I think this because they are a place where anyone can dock and thus should be sort of treated like a black market as such. I understand that to a degree they already do this but i was thinking it could be expanded upon.

To show what I mean i'll be using both Freeport 2 and Barrier Gate Station.
I'll start of with Barrier Gate with an example I found when doing some cargo piracy.

So we were in cortez and stole some Kyushu Rice. It sold for 1449 Credits on the Planet. Yet sold for the default of 100 on Barrier gate. Something like this could be made so it is sold for 1000 Credits or something? (My recommended prices might need adjusting given I know very little about discovery's Economy :P )

The general idea is that we make it so we can sell general cargo to these bases for less than what you can get from what is nearby.

Freeports work similar given that they already import loads of stuff. Yet there is still some missing.

(I edited the internal files to show everything that is Bought/Sold. The spoiler below will hurt your eyes ;) )

Things Freeport 2 Buys and Sells

My idea simply is, make it so most commodities can be sold at freeports and freelancer bases for a lower price than a lawful base. This way people who play pirates can still sell their cargo here for a decent price if they happen to steal some that would got one system away.
