"Kill me it's cheaper" - a possible solution

[Arbs]

Let's say, we equally buff sell and buy prices of commodities. Commodity A which now costs 500 credits/unit and is bought for 3500 c/unit after buffs costs 3000c/unit and is bought for 6000c/unit.

That is a good solution indeed, however for trade commodities that aren't of much significance to POBs (food, water, oxygen, allowys and stuff). The only drawback to that is that newbies would need a higher starting budget, even though that can be considered as a slight disadvantage.

But what about ores? They're for free.. And that is problematic aswell.
For every unit of ore mined from the field, 1 or 2k credits would be taken from the miner's funds. Of course, buy prices also would be increased.

Usually ore is mined and sold to a POBs, and that's where the traders buy it from. The price that traders but it for there is like 3.5k or so. I don't think this aspect is going to have issues. Also I doubt that anyone who trades in a miner would actually choose mining stuff all over again instead of paying the pirate.

Well, the newbies would have special cheap commodities to trade. Commodities which are vital to some faction's existence. SynthPaste, for example... Two birds killed with one stone.

Well that's kinda tricky, dunno what to say about that.
