Wouldn't that just equate to changinge 50% of the traders from Baldrics to Scarab's instead?eldyranx3 wrote:I think the key to Terran trading is faster, more selective traders.
I'm a little new to the logistics of the traders in the game, but aren't the majority "Free Traders" rather than corporate owned ones? If you need to manage traders better wouldn't it be more logical to have them assigned to a corporate setup where they receive job lots of info to trade. For instance have the Military cargo ships which collect and distribute the needed stuff, then the civilian corporations transporting food and research equipment. Say 3-4 megacorps in total and the military owning the majority of trade in the Terran systems (makes more sense considering their introverted and aggressive stance).
If they are being moved about more logically, then logic would cause less over-traffic through the portals. Also can multiple portals be made? Having multiple through points for the main trade highways would also help ease congestion...
