Smuggling

[Markus_Janus]

Well, one solution is to set it so that you can only sell or buy so much of the cargo per trip.

Another solution would be to make it drop in price once you purchase or sell a certain amount. For example, if you sell 500 units at a time you get 10k a pop, but if you sell 4000 units at a time you get 4k a pop. We could chalk it up to market saturation. There are only so many buyers for black market items, after all.

Or maybe the smuggler ID could be rigged like miner ID's are. With the right ID and ship you get a bonus to your buying and selling prices. For example, with an Anki and and smuggler ID you could get a 25% reduction in purchase price and a 25% increase in sell price.

I don't know if any of those things are possible but it's something to think on.

The first idea would just have me selling 500 units at a time from my 5k transport.
The second has merit and would be good if it could be applied, as leonidos stated, it would be a good system for all traders.
