Trading in 4.85

[Benjamin]

Well if the economy is being flamed a lot, I just want to say that I really love it. My two 'traders' are a Junker and an Orbital Spa & Cruise liner. If there's two commodities that had sucky routes and were in short supply/variety, it was illegal commodities and people commodities. Now there's a bunch of each, and even better, my OS&C can drop people off at a base, and then take different people somewhere else! No more flying empty or filling my hold with non-people (Blech! I have chairs and windows!)

My only concern is about scientists - there's no profit in these guys (I've found 8 locations so far, and the price varies between 2,000 and 2,500.) I heard someone say they are 'RP' commodities. I'm not sure how I feel about this. If part of being an RP commodity is that it is impossible to make money with, doesn't that kind of imply that any trading that actually makes money is OoRP?

While I love that we have the scientist commodity, because it IS good for RP (My OS&C vessel is run by intellectuals, so shipping scientists around makes a load of sense for them, and I have RP'd VIPs/passengers as scientists before in the past), but I don't see why there can't be a couple of routes for them. I don't know every infocard in the world, but I'm sure it would make sense for them to be cheap on Cambridge, and bought at a high price at the various research stations, planet Kurile maybe? That sort of place. Obviously doesn't have to be crazy profit, but just enouguh so that I don't feel totally useless doing it.
