' Wrote:...right now - edgeworld trade is safer - and that IS a problem. - so i suggested to apply a small ( 2-3% maybe ) risk that ships above a certain mass get damaged to all equipment / components when passing through jumpholes...
I don't think that would work, the powertraders would just calculate the loss within their profit scheme, rather than scare them to the houses. It would however be unfair and annoying to the factions that live in the outerworlds. If I'm a Corsair that wants to do an Alpha raid or an Outcast in the reverse, I shouldn't have to take 6% damage to do so. The solution is to make house trading better rather than handing out nerfs. The only thing I can agree on with nerfing is on the whale. Make it have the same stats as the Kujira Whale and give it a gun like the Kujira.
