I had this too. It'd be funny if actually Sindria is sucking fuel from all markets and that's why there's so little everywhere else.

Oh, I was wondering why Sindria had 150k (and, in checking the market, apparently 267k excess stockpiles..) fuel all the time. Not gonna lie, I'll be a little dissapointed if that wasn't intentional as I've made Sindria my main base because im doing a survey/carrier group and having cheap fuel is a boon.

I think unless it gets well into the millions, we're ok :)

Why not just put a (planetary) cap?

(Emphasis on "temporarily" here. On the flip side, procurement missions are - or at least should be - in a more reasonable place.)

The problem with procurement missions is that you have no idea on where to buy the commodity prior to taking on it. It's a gamble sometimes even on markets you know sells that stuff.
It'd go already a long way for trades if we could at least see on the planet/station list what the market actually usually sells (ie. "This planet is known to export high quantities of lobsters"), even if they don't currently have it.

The bigger problem with procurement missions are that they pay pennies. Most of them pay <50k, many are <10k and some are even <1k. That's not worth even looking at when exploration missions pay about 100k and you can do more than one at once.

economy.json -> defaultTariff; can be overridden per-faction.

I keep waiting for tarrifs to be affected on a per-faction, and then per-system friendliness, 100/100 and saved the system from pirates five times over, i should be getting some discount, no? That and more dynamics in the friend/foe system as well, gaining faction, minus bounties and missions is pretty hit or miss.
