' Wrote:okay,situation.
Player buying silver 750 000 credits,moving it to Mainz = + 5 mil.(can be)
In new berlin she was stopped by Rh BS with cruiser - they taxing him for 5 mil at min - if he will pay - his profit will be = 0,if not - he will be killed and leaving the game for 4 hour.
So question:
Does it make sense to trade him? if he does not even have a chance to escape and defend themselves by their turrets.
But most lolcaps will ask : 10 mil and drop cargo,only for reason to kill him.
trading will have reason only with jumpdrives with this rules.
So new players who will come on server,will leave him,because trading will not give them money.
No money - no ships. No interest.
to further your scenario.
new players take loans to buy jumpdrive-capable ships (don't worry the prices will drop), and the lanes will be empty as the traders are in hyperspace. the pirates will then have to change tactics, freeing up the lanes - after all, the pickings will be slimmer as there are fewer traders, and poorer ones at that.
