Trading - Brainstorming Changes

[Rowly]

I really like the idea of trade mission that someone mentioned here waaaay back no idea how it would be implemented but it would definitley add to trading. For example say independant traders can trade using the current system and faction traders get specific missions at the bar e.g. say you are a trader with a cryer ID you would get a mission to carry pharmaceuticals to someplace that needs them (have the mission briefing give some random RP reason here) and the missions would vary in pay for danger, amount of cargo for carrying and distance.

this would mean that in house systems or pirate systems there would be <600 cargo freighters running RP goods around with the occasional big transport coming through doing the big run to the next house etc.

maybe make it so that the long runs pay slightly more per second so that you could do say 5 small routes in a small ship for 10 million credits or one long run for 12 million with the long route being more boring and riskier.
