Trading - Brainstorming Changes

[Belco]

This idea

actually dude's last post made me think.
how about some planets where big ships can't dock?
maybe some bases where those ships can't simply fit inside.
(Freeports, rock bases, junker bases)

...

i mean. ponder about this option. Realistic but hard on big traders. but bigger cash rewards so it helps smaller traders.
and someone will finally start to use frikkin freighters of 500 cargo.

and this idea

Smuggling, like regular trading is only profitable when large Transports are being used, but i think that smuggling should be done in small ships that don't draw that much attention, are faster and can slip though patrols more easy. What would happen if we remove the Transports from the smuggler ID and raise the profits? Contraband should generate more profit/unit than legal cargo anyway and more small smuggling ships would add a lot of realism and flavour to the game in my opineon.

in my opinion are thoughts made of win, really.
and yeah, as it's been stated bigger ships could still carry the cargo from smaller bases, but would require it being ferried across by smaller ships. Huge potential for player interaction, and any of that has potential to develop into RP.

maybe the only large ship able to dock with small bases is the heavy lifter? finally giving it a purpose?
though both these ideas kinda destroy the pirate train and transport, being unable to smuggle and even dock with most of their bases
