Trading in .85 - a poll

[Thexare]

It's a tricky thing for me to judge.

In theory, I like the idea. You may note that whenever I use the words "in theory", I'm about to complain.

Anymore, it's not as easy to simply run and grab enough money to fully equip a new fighter character if I get a new RP idea. Because I fly primarily fighters, the longer routes aren't any good for me. All it took to equip a brand new fighter was a quick back and forth between Cambridge and New Berlin, maybe repeating one leg if I'm getting a Mini Razor. And that was all I needed, I could get to whatever new idea I had and perhaps find another role I enjoy.

The new trade system, combined with most of my ships being wiped for inactivity, has gotten rid of all my characters except my Outcasts and one Freelancer. And I don't want to bother trying to remake them or trying any new ideas because I can't get the money quickly even with a borrowed transport.

So, as nice as the idea was, I simply have to agree with Unselie here. I do not like the new system in practice, even having found a few decent runs; they simply take too damn long.
