The OP is correct, moving the 'basics of life' (food, air, water) except for specific food items doesn't make you any sort of $$ at all.
The thing is you can actually make a lot of PROFIT from doing it, but to make any sort of real money means having to do it a LOT.
You can pick up oxygen or water for instance on most planets fairly cheap, as low as $5 a unit I think and there are places that will buy it for as much as $100 a unit.
Thats a huge profit, compared to what you pay out, but even with a major trade vessel (4500 cargo) thats only $427500 profit......
Lets imagine that water is pumped into a ship, it would fill every nook and cranny of the hold. Lets say that 1 unit of water = 0.25 cargo, that would make the profit almost decent, close to $2 mill.
Oxygen would be compressed for transport..... work that one out.
Edit: meh just read what I posted, sorry if it doens't make a lot of sense, I'm at work and I'm sorta rushed for time.

Let's this thread revive ! It's a very good idea.

YES!!!!!!!
It should be profitable, Please.
I can sell synth paste at almost 1000% increase of value, and the profit still sucks.
Please, make it Decent

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Toxic Waste, Terraforming Gases and Scrap Metal!
The universe awaits ALG Waste Disposal!:)

Without backreading.... Just a randomly non-developer estimated list:
Since Mining Bonuses are done in FLHook, I would assume this could be done in a similar way.
Having ID/Tag gives 30% Discount/Bonus for
ALG Waste Disposal - Toxic Waste
Ageira - Gate/Lane Parts
BMM - ??? Mined Commodities in their ZOI???
Border World Exports - Military Vehicles, Light Arms (Bretonian In-House Military Support)
Cryer Pharmaceuticals - Pharmaceuticals
Daumann Heavy Construction - ????
Deep Space Engineering - Gate/Lane Parts
EFL Oil & Machinery - Oil
Gallic Metal Service - Cryocubes (Infocard states "self-destruct mechanisms that prevent both the loss of Gallic Metals' most profitable trade secret")
Gas Miners Guild - H-Fuel (Who didnt see that one coming?)
Gateway Shipping - ????
IDF Shipping - ???
Independent Miners Guild - ??? Mined Commodities in their ZOI???
Kishiro Technologies - ????
Kruger Minerals - ??? Mind Commodities in their ZOI???
Orbital Spa and Cruise - Passengers, VIPs, basically all Human Cargo aside from Slaves + Lux Food, Lux Consumer Goods, Consumer Goods,
Planetform, Inc. - Terraforming Gasses and Alien Organisms (as infocard says they are used to speed up Terraforming processes)
Republican Shipping - Military Vehicles, Light Arms (Rheinland In-House Military Support)
Samura Industries - ????
Synth Foods, Inc. - Synth Paste (Again, who didnt see that one coming)
Universal Shipping - Military Vehicles, Light Arms (Liberty In-House Military Support)
Zoners - Pinneal Amulets
Ind. Trader - Generic Commodities, Food Water Oxygen etc
Police Factions - Prisoners and Unlawfuls Pilots of their ZOI
For the various non-trade oriented groups such as:
Bounty Hunters
Lane Hackers
Liberty Navy
BAF
KNF
RM
LR
LWB
Outcast
Corsair
etc
Give them value boosts on the faction they are at war with.
Example: LN would get value boosts on RM Pilots
BAF would get it for KNF pilots
Outcasts, Corsair Pilots
etc

' Wrote:Gas Miners Guild - H-Fuel (Who didnt see that one coming?)
And Plutonium :)
I saw Dusty's post, it's too bad I really would've like to see this. GMG's RP from Vanilla has always been to hold a monopoly. The ID based pruchasing boosts would have been great to have in-game mechanincs to support GMG's hold on H-fuel and Plutonium.

As far as Dusty's post is concerned, its considering you can -Simply- change ID and get the needed commodity boost.
However, reread my post and find this:
Having ID/Tag gives 30% Discount/Bonus for
Make it an all or nothing deal.
Examples:
Ageira ID, Non-Ageira Tag: No Bonus
Non-Ageira ID, Ageira Tag: No Bonus
Ageira ID, Ageira Tag: WEeee, Bonuses!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, you can change ID all you want, but without that appropriate tag, you get no bonus.

That fraking sucks! I've still got my zoner guard ID'd, Untagged whale that the droprep command screwed up, can't do missions/attack depots due to having no guns, and is too friendly with zoners to get bribes, and admins don't fix reps besides phantoms/nomads/terrorists/neutrals/Angels/special roleplay... Don't bother trying to help, I've tried everything.

This keeps popping up once in a while, but good ideas usually do. I've been waiting for a time to ripe.
The difficult thing of course is to balance it out.
ID-Based Cargo Discounts - Exsiled_one - 09-14-2009
Corsairs should get arties, OC should get cardamine. How was that not around?
