HELP FOR TRADERS

by Hazed

At the moment, having a big sign saying a star system is abandoned has no actual effect other than a visual indication of a missing PO. But there is going to be another reason why we have added this label to neglected star systems. The intention is that any planet that is abandoned will suffer a far greater frequency of exchange events. Alan will work on coding this change and it will go in sometime in the next couple of weeks.

The reason for adding this volatility to the galaxy's exchanges is to aid Traders. At the moment it can be hard to find decent futures contracts; the only time they are guaranteed to be available is when a new planet is linked into the game, or a promotion causes an exchange to be rerolled. Since the only way for Traders to advance is to carry out a number of successful futures trades, that makes it a hard rank to complete. The change should increase the number of profitable futures contracts available making their life considerably easier.
