This will create many more oppertunities for roleplay for both Core and other factions, as well as hopefully creating activity. I was inspired by Peregrine's post and so I thought of a bunch of other commodities that could be exported from Core bases. Pre-emptively though, it'd be good to delete APM Advanced Hardware then introduce these commodities. And in the case of AP-VROOMs it'd be good if you could remove the buy/sell points for Military Vehicles from Alabama Shipyard please.
P'much, rather than having APM Advanced Hardware as a single, poorly explained, cramped commodity I thought it'd be better to split it up to encourage roleplay and route variation. I also think AP-AUGs will be cool because although NPCs do have some physical implants and the like, we don't actually have any commodities to represent this. Hopefully it will also create ethical dilemmas with the Sirian populace too.
No, we're not splitting this contraband into multiple commodities. Instead just think of it as consumer goods meets armaments.

Liberty & Surroundings
- Rochester base, NY (Junkers, black market)
- Beamount base, Texas (junkers, black market)
- Outpost Hesperia, California (Hellfire Legion, new client)
- Sabah Shipyard, Coronado (Colonial Remnant, another client)
- Prices on Buffalo, NY are way off, is that intended? This base is completely useless to trade with that way.
Gallia
- Beaumont base, Il-De-France (Brigands, black market)
- Avon hideout, Il-De-France (Unione Corse, black market)
- Monaco Base, Provence (Unione Corse, black market)
Omegas
- Zhukowski station, Omega 52 (SCRA, recently signed peace with Order)
- Gran Canaria, Omega 49 (Zoners, the planet should remain in constant fear of invading force and arm appropriately)
Sigmas
- Kurile, Sigma 17 - GMG docking satellite - given it is freighter only it could get some rise in profitability.
- Newport, Sigma 13 (Freelancer, black market)
On top of that, capital planet of each house should get an extra profit bonus to reward house authorities in acquiring that cargo from smugglers, or whoever manages to sneak past and land bunch of Kemwer planet-side without being spotted. Kemwer should also receive slightly more expensive resale point at Meshkenet station in Omicron Zeta.
All done except for Kurile and Newport. Both are back door routes that have almost zero chance of interdiction, and I'm unclear about what is happening with Kurile's two bases right now so I don't want to mess with it's commodities.

The Junker base in Texas is also another possible choice. I bring this up because currently there isn't really a good sellpoint for unlawfuls in Liberty.
The Zoner base is right next to the lanes and that base actually does have Liberty capital / gunboat patrols near it.
I will add it at Allentown also.
Until Impyness pointed it out, I didn't realize blue diamonds were referenced at Bautzen. The Blue Diamonds mined in Gallia are definitely not Hessian Tears. This is pure coincidence.
AFC's request to remove the decay rate on entertainers is done.
I still have the Coalition contraband request and passenger routes to review. I don't expect either will make it into the next update unless it is delayed substantially further, which I doubt any of us want.
Also, there will be no change to the sourcing of Iridium. That commodity was specifically created to be sourced from Freeport 11. Any infocards conflicting with that are inaccurate. Whether or not it is mined by players is irrelevant.
