Having prices adjusted by ID...

[Syrus]

So, I have another idea about trading.

There is a problem I think, most people will use IDs like the Zoner ID and even IC to do most of the
trading, while there are many unused IDs out there. Of course some people always will go for what makes
the most profit, but let's not look at the powertrading for a moment.

What idea had I in mind to make having a Cryer, Synth Food, IMG, DHC etc ID interesting again?
Subsidies.

Yes yes, having them on RP base would be neat and far better than what I'm going to propose, but it doesn't
seem like there are many doing this iRP. So I'm suggesting this ...
Increase the sellprice for transporting cargo related to your faction with your ID.

People should get bonuses for transporting freight that "their company" would be transporting. Like a Cryer
ID'd ship should get much more money for transporting pharmaceuticals than any other trader. Or a DHC
should get more money for transporting diamonds and so on. That would make having those IDs much more
interesting in my opinion.

The problem is ... I can't think of a good way to implement this yet. Just increasing the sellprices has, well,
a bad side effect. (Sit in the base, buy - sell - buy - sell...) Best I can think of at the moment would be if the
prices increased in percentage. Means, the lowest price will be multiplied by 100% while the highest price
you can buy/sell the freight for will be multiplied by 200% (or whatever you want to set it). The prices
between will be increased depending on the lowest and highest price and percentage.
(I hope you understand what I mean...I'm bad at explaining...)
