Trading - Brainstorming Changes

[DAnvilFan]

The reason why trading is boring has everything to do with repetition. It is the same reason why taking missions is boring.

All we need is an element that introduces variety.
Dynamic economy is one key but Freelancer wasn't made for it and I assume any proper utilization of such a concept would result in failure.

My ideal concept would be the introduction of poverty levels per base.
How this would work is that every station has a poverty level depending on how much products it has sold. If a station has sold a lot, then the wealth level increases. Now when factions want to RP politics and discuss how Crete is poor, for example, they have real values to prove it. Let's say you assign a variable to each station and then check it via FL Hook command (would this be in any way possible?). Let's say that those variables are effected by how many times goods are purchased from that station. Is that also feasible? I assume the answer is outright - "no."

But that's my point. We could introduce a billion fantastic ideas to improve trading, but Freelancer limits all of it.

P.S. I noticed that FL will remember temperarily how much commodities you have sold to it. Of course, once you undock that information is lost. Is there any chance to preserve that information for the entire day until the server restarts? If that's also possible, this would be another way to track wealth of stations. You would also be able to trade goods multiple times. Let's say a bunch of folks have been trading food to Crete all day. Now Crete is stashed with a large amount of food supplies that folks can trade from there. Also not possible? I assume as much.
