I don't agree with these changes, I trade ore a lot lot of time for money, Ore trading was a teamwork trader miner both get profit and pirate if stop a fully filled train also get money but you just ruined the teamwork, Now you made game totally one sided good for privacy. Ore trade routes were long and dangerous as you had to pass foreign houses and now no one will trade ore, no one will mine ore if you wanted that, Active factions that were dependent on ore trade will die by this change, I know I sound harsh here but those changes were also harsh, You know you should make discussion first ask people who are really in the game dealing with all stuff there
You can ignore reality but you can not ignore consequences of ignoring reality
