I noticed after the recent update that the Iridium prices took a hit across the board, and I wanted to point out a couple of things that may give this nearly forgotten commodity a new life. Currently there is just no value in it, and as an invested party in Iridium I would like to suggest some changes.
1) Remove the buy point on Freeport 11. This undermines (no pun intended) the purpose of mining this commodity. Being available for 500/u, there is simply no point in mining it.
2) Create profitable trade routes. The journey from Omicron Delta to House system sellpoints is perilous and the current prices IMO don't reflect the variables. The prices should reflect all of that time trudging across open space and also the dangers of the Edgeworlds. Being a key component in high grade Armor Upgrades, it would make sense to have Shipyards and the like be the end-of-the-line sellpoint.
Ideas? Opinions? Discuss.
