Y'know, this thread would have made a lot of sense in .85 - the trade system was a bit eh then. Tell you what, fire up a copy of FLCompanion and compare the current trade profits from then to now. Trade is better now than ever before, with most routes currently being better than the previous exploit, the diamond/niobium run. Currently, our average to poor routes are better than the last mod's best.
That's one of the many reasons I'm more than happy with the current economy. Consider this a trade faction leader's approval. Also, system chat as default is a mistake. If anyone has any valid RP they specifically want to contribute to system, they can still type /s. If you set it to standard, all you get is contextless chatter that'll be aimed at people within scanner range anyway.
