Staff roles:
If a player faction owns a guard system, then I will take requests from those factions for the commodities that they would like to see integrated into their guard system bases. Follow these guidelines in making your requests :
1. Produce what is commonly produced in your region of space
2. Consume what is commonly consumed in your region of space
3. Focus on the roleplay value instead of the financial value. We will work very hard to make sure that guard systems are useful for factionalized roleplaying without becoming preferred routes for traders. In other words, guard systems will not possess trading routes that are more profitable than non-guard system routes. That will largely keep the non-faction trading out.
4. Provide us with the roleplay information for the various bases in your guard system. In other words, tell us why Base X will buy a commodity, but Base Y in that system would not.

Commodities that should be bought for ridiculously high prices at Corsica:
Ship Hull Panels
Nioium
Beryllium
Plutonium
H-Fuel
Superconductors
Engine Parts
Scrap Metal
Silver
Gold
Diamonds (yes, really)
Deuterium
Food Rations
MOX
Anything related to ship construction I've missed
Corsica's buying all of this because it's a shipyard out in the middle of nowhere. Anything related to ship construction is in desperatelt short supply in the Maltese nation, and Corsica's where it all goes.
Things that should be bought for ridiculously high prices at Captana:
Cardamine (not ridiculous, per se, but maybe $1000, a little more)
Food rations
Water
MOX
H-Fuel
Deuterium
Pornography
Anything else I've missed that a warship would need
Captana is a warship out in the middle of nowhere. It needs fuel and supplies to keep its crews alive and entertained. If an alcohol commodity gets made it should be bought here, too...
Things that should be bough for ridiculous prices at Bastia:
I can't think to any, tbh...it's so close to the JH and Ibiza that anything they do need can be ferried over pretty cheaply. Unless somebody wants to make Cardamine sell there for 1K again like it did last version:lol:
Thanks for doing all of this work, Xoria.

Commodities that Mito Shipyards (Tau 63) needs, due to the fact it's a shipyard hidden by a fortress system (Chugoku) And guarded by the GC (Tau-65). Thus, we don't get the occasional GMG transport that we need for supply's.
Engine components.
Optical Chips.
Ship Hull Panels
MOX
Nioium
Beryllium
Plutonium
H-Fuel
Superconductors
Engine Parts
Scrap Metal
Silver
Gold
Dueterium
Diamonds (This will give us a reason to take the cargo we pirated back home rather than destroying it) ]
As for it's inhabitants ;
Consumer goods.
Food rations
Oxygen.
Water
Light arms.
Mito's a big rock, and the Dragon's don't have a planet. Thus lack Oxygen and Water the most.
Sedona will offer the infamous proto-nomad Scrubbies (alien organisms) for comparable rates to FP6, or slightly more... 1200?
It should buy toxic waste, as that is what scrubbies eat and recycle into good things.
Folks are taking all that cardi and synth maryjane right past us. Shasta will go from construction station for Pueblo Bonito, to become a Retreat/Monastery/Healing Center. Such a station requires supplicants/pilgrims (passengers and VIPs) at rates comparable to the Shetland or Hawaii.
Pueblo Bonito.. now we go for the gold. Kallisti Gold that is. Waverly LLC is proud to offer KG (synth m) for rates in line with say.. Arranmore? 1800?
We require digital copies of our Holy Tome for distribution to the unwashed cabbages. If it's counterfeit, we'll still pay a grand a copy.
Altho P.Bonito has a small shipyard, we are selective in our sales, and don't require all those humongous comsumables the big boys do.
Now, some may ask.. why Baffin? They're not a guard system?
Well, the mad gunners of Shasta and Zoner guard fighters in Baffin may beg to differ with you.
Jolly good, Xoria! I'll clean this all up with circles and arrows when it's percolated a bit in the old Pineal.
Thinking of making RP commodities and having runs between Omicron Iota and Omega-55 with special protected transports carrying some interesting stuff, sort of mini-events.

Military Vehicles - in preparation of an attack on Harris - should cost more than on the BS in Shikoku but less than in Kyushu, on Nagasaki they should cost most.
