Economy in 5.2+

[TheSauron]

I would echo the issues with unlawful sellpoints. Running a pirate base for a faction that doesn't sit on a gold mine (figuratively or literally) is pretty much pointless unless you're really into your faction of choice or hate having credits, or both. The moment you consider the practicalities, corpos are the only real option.

Besides that, I think the overall unlawful economy is missing a couple of commodity links to properly function. Generally, if an unlawful base is a big importer of stuff but doesn't export anything, you have nothing to carry when heading back to the export base. Using Gaians as an example, their only exports are Slog and Military Surplus, both sourced from Skye. At the same time they also import a lot of shipyard stuff to Torshavn, but there is nothing you can carry on your way from Torshavn to Skye to complete the loop. I am willing to bet there are plenty of such gaps across all unlawful factions.
