POLL: Basic goods

[tazuras]

Well my original thought was a purchase cap per restart, or per hour, not per saler. This would simulate the demand rising as the commodity was used up on the planet or station. Although the per saler cap might have some effect as it would lower the profit/time for those with bigger cargo holds but not those with smaller cargo holds.

Another thought that I had though was a sale price multiplier for certain commodities that would increase based on amount sold. So if you were selling 500 units of oxygen they would pay 20 a unit, but if you were selling 5000 units they would pay 40 a unit, or something. You could also make the reverse true for commodities that it would be more in RP to buy in smaller amounts at once, say luxury food. Now this would definitely want to be bought in smaller amounts as it does spoil, so anyplace that used this commodity would want regular small shipments. Unlike the per time purchase cap it would also allow players to run these routes all the time no matter how many others were running them.

I would like to add that I realize none of these changes can be made for .85 and perhaps not even point .86, but I thought they might have some potential and would like to hear what other people think.
