QM/Trader Pricing Thread

Having second half of the trading cycle contain news flashes that foreshadow what will be hot next. Then when you're finished spending the first 5 minutes selling your previous efforts, you get 5 minutes of watching the trade bulletin.

Then, you can look at disabling certain trades based off of this. Robotics shortage? No prosthetic crates. Ideally the things that get disabled are solely things that the station can build themselves.

But as the system is now it's impossible to do so since it's all in infinite quantities (cept the traders)
It would require limit quanities and such to get QMs to do anything with that kinda trade, thus an overhaul of the system.

My ideal would be something like this, where the market is actually several companies who produce the items you're able to purchase. A mining company would introduce more ores, a robotics company would introduce more parts etc.

All the companies would need things to produce their products, like raw materials or equipment, which they would get from the station and NPC merchants, who would buy from one source and sell to another

Station and merchants can buy and sell to the market, or trade among each other.

Prices adjust to how much was over or under produced, with some random and situational events happening to the companies like equipment breaking, lay offs, bankruptcy and mergers etc to keep everyone on their toes
