Does not getting paid matter (and how do you make it matter?).

It'd be hilarious to have a witch hunt on the HoP because they burnt the entire station's economy.

Agreed. I also second the idea the station needs more trader-type individuals, or at least to possibly bump up the frequency and/or move them to a place where they're even vaguely accessible to 90% of the crew (read: not in the catering and research docks, what the fuck).
