Small Economy Requests
Our faction is trying to re-configure alternative smuggling routes aside from the one leading to Malta with the focus being on supplying peripheral friends or allies such as Red Hessians, Mollys and the Order. That's our goal and based on that goal we submit the following requests:
Most of the trade-able commodities in Lane Hacker bases are locked, and only if you have a full +0.9 rep you can buy one of these. This has been a problem for years now. Please lift the restrictions so that folks can easily do business with our faction.
Firstly this one is of outmost importance. For years traders cannot deal with Lane Hacker bases, the maxed out rep you need in order to buy anything is ridiculous. We have been requesting the same thing for years, please make it happen.
2) We would like to request the sellpoint of Counterfeit Software on Planet Akabat to be restored. This is a planet with a substantial population which is far away from the civilization. They need software, hacked software since they are unlawfuls, and our commodity should earn a high price there. This is also a good opportunity to visit the region of the Nomad Worlds and interact with the players there.
3) We would like to request the sellpoint of Counterfeit Software on Belfast Production Facility to be restored and compared to nearby (But closer to the Taus) bases should be at around 4,400 SC.
4) We would like to request the Blackmarket Light Arms commodity to be sold exclusively on Detroit Munitions and Mactan Base. The reason is simple; the blackmarket version of the famous Detroit firearms should not be easily reproduced by Rogues or Junkers to make it viable. Furthermore, the price on Mactan to be substantially higher than the one in Detroit but not exceeding 1,000 SC. I suspect this would require the current sell prices on bases in Bretonia and the Independent Worlds to be re-configured. This is the only commodity that the Lane Hackers produce and we want this to serve as an alternative to Counterfeit Software. We like this commodity because its background lore connects us with our progenitor, Ageira and it is a product the Hackers would definitely get involved with producing. (for a number of reasons)
5) Finally, we would like to request the sell prices of H-Fuel for Cochrane Depot and Mactan Base to be increased by 500 and 300 credits respectively. The reason is simple, fuel is a strategic commodity for an unlawful faction and the main producers GMG/Samura/Kruger are all hostile to us. So we should offer good prices for this commodity, and the price hike reflects that our bases should offer more than the lawful installation. From a gameplay respective it is also fair because it's not easy to find a faction that is neutral with the aforementioned ones and the Hackers simultaneously.
If there are any questions please let us know. Thank you in advance.

1,2,3) Included in the next system update.
4) Black market munitions are only manufactured on Detroit Munitions and The Ring, and nowhere else. What makes them Black Market rather than Light Arms or Side Arms is that the weapons crates are diverted from the ordinary production line where they are registered and taxed before being loaded onto transports. These diverted weapons crates are then smuggled to local dealers where they are sold on the black market.
These black market sales from Rochester, Kreuzberg, and McMurray serve as vital links in contraband chains between the hispanic omicrons, and removing them would leave gaping holes in the smuggling routes. Furthermore, Mactan becoming a primary producer of the same commodity sourced from Detroit would effectively eliminate any Detroit smuggling heading "west," which is a substantial proportion of the routes. Basically, this idea is neither feasible nor preferable to the current configuration.
5) The highest rate of profit for H Fuel is 260c/sec, and your proposed prices would cause rates exceeding this. Mactan and Cochrane are currently in the same profit tiers as other unlawful bases at 240c/sec, but I can raise them to no higher than the top rate of 260c/sec.

EFL Would like to request the addition of a sell point for the Gate/Lane Parts to the New London Gate Construction Site since it is now top priority inrp it should have a sell point for the parts, it would also make more sense then shipping them to Planet Leeds which as far as I can tell is still technically a warzone.
Info card Wrote:Sponsored by the Gallic crown and given a priority over other projects, the newly begun EFL gate construction in Leeds is seen as a vital step towards securing the Bretonian front after the war.

What about Monaco in Provence ? Or do you mean you want a Brigand base selling it ?

Yeah, that's more what we're after. That, and somewhere more central in Gallia if possible. For a commodity that is inRP mainly created in Gallia, there should is very little of it here ^ ^
There's a lot of people commodities and that's because The Core really wants to have a mass importation of people to help beef itself up. It's also importing Slaves because they're generally sent as "indentured workers" to slave away in the Iridium mines. On that note, there are mining-centric items to help crack the crust for Iridium. Otherwise, you've got your standard food and sustenance imports, as well as commodities to help tame the planet. I'd also assume we'd still need the white boxes for Docking Ring maintenance?
BUY:
Colonists
Settlers
Slaves
Criminals (all types)
Prisoners (all types)
Fugitives
Iridium Ore (?)
Azurite (?)
Scientists
Robotics
RoboCultivars
Vodka
Gin
Rheinbeer
Liberty Ale
Sake
Tea
Refugees
Pharmaceuticals
Passengers (not sure which type would work best)
Niobium
Nanocapacitors
Mining Machinery
Luxury Consumer Goods
Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Industrial Materials
Vacationers
Holidayers
Fugitives
Food Rations
Fertilizers
Exotic Entertainers
Drill Bits
Diamonds

Ageira White Boxes
Rum
Nauru would sell The Core faction commodity. It'd also sell artifacts, because of the alien ruins on the planet, so they'd want to make a buck from anything inert they find. Given that it's so centric to Nauru, Iridium would also be sold. You can also never have enough Propaganda. The Core produces it's own Deutrium, although I don't think it's our main fuel source anymore, but I guess they'd still be happy to sell it to third parties. Lastly, some POB commodities would be cool, but that really depends if it works with your regulations or not.
SELL:
APM Advanced Hardware
Artifacts
Iridium
Propaganda
POB Commodities of some kind? I know there's a bunch of restrictions and what can sell on bases and where.
Deutrium
I've been alerted to some slightly funny looking sell prices for APM Advanced Hardware. It's bought from Alabama Shipyard in Omicron Rho for 1000 credits, and sells in New London for only 1045 credits. It sells in Newcastle for only 1055 credits. This can't be intentional, right? @Silverlight claims there might have been a 1K price drop from their original sell price on all stations. I've been on and off Discovery so I can't say for sure.
