Overview

For me, one of the least satisfying elements of this game (going all the way back to the good ol' days playing Elite on my ancient Commodore 128) has always been the extremely unrealistic economics model.

In Elite, this behavior is hard-coded into the game; beyond the reach of all but Mr. Bell and Mr. Braben. Oolite, thanks to Mr. Williams and Mr. Ayton (among others)
