2020 Mining Overhaul, Phase 1: Price and Sellpoint Adjustments

[LuckyOne]

Interesting idea... Even more interesting implementation!

While I'm really sad for people whose RP has been hit hard by this change, and also sad because some changes are a bit ruining the immersion (not that there was a lot of immersion regarding ore trading anyway), I'm really glad things are actually moving, and that factions will now have to focus on different activities instead of only shipping ores as primary means of money making.

I don't quite feel there needs to be complete standardization of ore profits because it feels a bit "too artificial", but I understand that gameplay balance trumps immersion in this case.
(I feel some things should simply be a bit more profitable though, to create tension and conflict for the control of these valuable mining zones / trading routes but these can go in the "exceptional" category with Xeno Relics and Azurite. I'd even suggest making more of these "special" commodites / contraband and tying it into the new mission / PvE system but I'm still thinking hard on the best way to achieve that)

On the other hand I feel the lack of ore trade between Bretonia and Liberty a bit disturbing. In vanilla it was heavily implied of there being significant trade links between Bretonia's industrial centers and Liberty manufacturing centers. Now Bretonia is quite devastated yes, but it doesn't mean there should be no major profits to be had in the trade between the two Houses. Especially with Bretonia rebuilding their infrastructure...
