Note: this table currently excludes Phkb's Smugglers. It too has a major affect on trade and economics, but is not directly comparable with the above, since it works on prohibiting trade (thus encouraging smuggling and a black market) which then impacts massively on pricing.

Note: Phkb has updated New Cargoes (v.2.0) and it is finally compatible with Smugglers. It will need his auxiliary oxp - Market Script Interface to function. New Cargoes dovetails with the information given to you in the Famous Planets OXP.

Note: Phkb has come up with a brand-new version of Risky Business which includes Risk-based Economy (you can choose to activate either or both using Library OXP). It also needs his auxiliary oxp - Market Script Interface - to operate.


This table also ignores some brilliant oxp's which introduce a focus on just one aspect of economics.

Geography

  • BlOomberg Markets creates sudden changes in commodity prices which are geographic in effect.
  • Darkside Moonshine Distillery introduces distance from production as an affect on price. This is done with more subtlety than BlOomberg Markets' affects.

Dynamic trade

  • In System Trader makes in-system trading more realistic, with changing prices and quantities depending on local traffic.

Loans

Prices

Quantities

Taxes
