I have not read this thread but I am posting. (Dont KEEEELL me!)
But I have a proven Idea that works.
Make Niobium not sold on any bases or planets anywhere. so the only way to get it is to Mine it. then make stations ner Niobium fields that buy it for really nice prices like 5000credits.
the Freeworlds mod did this and it works beutifully. and it has the added benifit of ruining the #2 source of OORP in the entire Mod.
I think this is worth a try.
Another thing- ask them about their autoupdater.
esentially it is a special shortcut to Freelancer that before it starts the game it checks that it is up to date and if it isnt automatically updates it. This allows the modders to make small changes and bug fixes without releasing a huge Mod update that everyone has to spend an entire night downloading.
