Diversifying Money Making Opportunities And Removing Activity Reliance

[Lovecraft]

[*]Bring back NPC Cargo piracy. This was nerfed because neutral IDs began to camp places like Bethlehem in Penny and shoot NPCs to make money and still dock on Bethlehem. I think we could easily reintroduce this into the game in a way that's balanced, as the nerf was a lazy general change to fix it, and the best answer would have been to just tweak things individually. Pirates camping lanes for things other than players (and actually making money) would be great for ambient activity.

[*]BHG ID should get some kind of additional bonus for shooting Unlawful NPCs outside of missions. Enhance this further by introducing automated bounty hunting against players, removing the horrid paperwork that comes with Discovery's archaic bounty system.

[*]Trading... what to do about Trading... It really just needs some kind of gameplay enhancements to make it more fun, especially when done solo. Something to keep you engaged and discouraging alt+tab. @massdriver was working on trade missions years ago and got close. Something like that could really help improve trading.

Loving all of these ideas, personally. Great work.

I'd love to see this type of thing in-game.

Also, Lyth's idea of actually dangerous NPC's trawling lanes for traders would be fun, as long as it's not happening every two minutes or whatever.
