Passengers commodity routes

[Tibbles]

Greetings all,

I have been searching for [ passengers / vacationers / tourists ] routes and i was unable to see a reasonable pattern.I looked for it at the Freelancer companion program and I feel there's quite a mess.I'll put some examples;

Commodity_Passengers_Ku (kusari passengers) being sold only in Nagano in kusari space, the other buying points are from Gallia.

Commodity_passengers_LI ( liberty) Being sold only at Planet Curacao and in a gallic police station( Clermont space colony )

... and so on.

There's a reason for this that I can't see?

Also, now that I have spent some time figuring doable trade routes, I'll put my 2 cents about what I feel it should be an easy to see/understand pattern.

Like this way, one could easily figure where to go and having as a "trade Hub" every House Capital planet. the weakness of this routes or the way this commodities are distributed is the lack of loop from OSC base to OSC base route. Also it leaves Zoners and "secondary houses" quite alone.

What do you think? Alternatives/add-ons to this sytem? Thanks.

PD: hope that Xoria don't have a heart attack when reads this if he does Also, do you have a formula so a humble Excel user can use in order to save you work in case this goes on?

I like the idea, Tibbs!

+1

Also...just for simplification sake..I would personally like to see Vacationers and Tourists combined. No real sense having them as 2 different commodities when they are essentially the same thing.

Anything for an economy based on common sense and lore.

Tourists go from minor places to capitols for sight seeing.
Vacationers go from capitols to luxury resorts (liners, OSC bases).
How about this division?

That's better, Ponge.
