Is is possible to restrict Sector Travel for a specific ware on a station?

Post by Targ Collective »

I ask because Tachyon Developments is running a... recreational stimulant facility... in the sector previously known as Savage Spur II. I know the Terrans don't like Stimulants trade, but they don't like a lot of things and decent coffees and teas is something we like to use and provide.

The station produces excess Energy Cells which the Terrans *do* trade in, but the Stimulants must not be transported into Terran space in accordance with the Law.

Tachyon Developments, rumours of Black Ops aside, seeks to be law abiding. Can I exclude Sector Travel into Terran space for a single ware, Stimulants?

Would it be possible to split your station traders so that those that include stims in their ware baskets have Terran sectors blacklisted and those that don't include stims (i.e. only trade ecells) have no such blacklist? This will require customization at a per-ship level instead of at the station level.

Hm. That would be possible but most of the time they trade Energy Cells and I'd like the Station Manager to have the job of selecting trade wares.

You could still allow the stim traders to trade ecells. They wouldn't be allowed to enter blacklisted sectors, but they would continue to trade ecells and stims everywhere else.

The remaining ships would be allowed to trade in all sectors but just wouldn't be allowed to carry any stims (excluded through their ware baskets).

I think they would have to be separate ships. But then, if it's just about a desire to sell excess, you could perhaps leave your own traders as they are and open the e-cells to be bought by random traders.
