Sick of ooRP traders

The solution to make people act more realistically in general is to make the server more realistic.

Frankly, this would mean the following:

Removing the tech chart and tech rules.
Strengthening transports and caps a lot. (Really, a lot)
Starflier upon death for everybody.
Completely rebalancing PvP to take into account price as well as performance.
Setting up a series of subsidies for houses to simulate the much vaunted "taxes"
And other stuff

I'm actually writing about how I'd do this, and it sounds really good, except for the part that people don't generally play this game to be realistic, and realism attracts a different demographic of player. Certainly we'd see a large player drop over time if the game became more realistic, which includes if we solved issues like this one to do with transports.
