[StrangeCase]

Right, exchange rate fluctuation. Theoretically, it's just as possible to lose money that way, but hell, we can just pretend we're futures investment geniuses. A circular exchange route like the one you mentioned isn't out of the question. As for the other idea, I think you might be up against a brick wall in terms of mod-ability; the game right now has one currency, the credit, and is programmed with universal reflexivity in mind, i.e. 1 = 1 in all cases. I don't know if it's possible to recode the system, though I suspect it isn't. Actually, the more I think about it, the more unlikely it seems; removing that trait rips the backbone out of FL's economy system, simple as it is. Besides, Freelancer is about combat and trade runs, not consulting exchange charts. :)
