5k limit on transport freighters

[Sorrontis]

I was wondering, why is the freighter limit 5k? is it an arbitrary limit, or is there a coding issue with how cargo is stored in the program?

I'm asking, because, I'm ... um... curious? Okay, okay, Balados has big dreams (if you know what I mean)

Its for the balance of the economy. If you could haul more then the price of things would have to rise and trade routes would have to be reviewed more than they do now.

Probably because we don't want people making 800 billion credits at once by having a transport that has a ridiculously large cargo hold

Oh, I wasn't meaning massive loads. more like in the 6-7k range. something that makes it bigger than usual. there's ways to make it so that it's offset (make the ship too big to end trade lanes or no weapons etc)

its for economy balance only,its not a limit of what could be,think about the old barge (~40k cargo)

With the 5x Barge convoys in the past, jumping trough hyperspace (with their battleship escort) and having like 200,000 combined cargo hold, it was absolutely insane how much money they used to make every 30 minutes.

Bc that worked so well in whatever it was to achieve. There's already tons of caps and people hardly trade. Those that do, either just want their cap or enjoy the RP as trader. The first type of people were always there and will never go away (implying new people keep joining), most of them also caused the majority if not all of the F1-sanctions during piracy, the second type of people will always be a minority and always be around trading.
The "trade-balance" still in effect is kind of a joke.

I didn't mean to hit a nerve. I just have a roleplay mission for balados, the fact that it's not a programming limitation gives me hope. however, according to Hannibal, I shouldn't trust to hope

it is a balanced for relative new players mostly
the problem is not that trade routes and ships are not balanced but that we don't have more money sink options for those who plays the game for years.
