+1. If we made it a scaling fee to use the lanes based on ship wealth (since it's unfair to charge a new player in a 1Ker what you charge, say, a Cap8 IND Shukensha) then yeah, I could see that being a really neat mechanic. Ageira employees obviously wouldn't have to pay to use the lanes, and neither would the Lane Hackers.
In an alternate timeline where we could do new UI code for FL I would love to be able to do something up where you basically get a "monthly trade lane bill" where you're billed for your usage of the lanes and have 30 days to pay your balance up or you find yourself unable to use trade lanes until your pay your balance and the non-payment fees. I think this would be way too much of a weird, overly complex thing to do entirely through the console though, and it'd be detrimentally confusing to new players.
