|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author | Cim | Cim | Phkb | Stranger | Phasted | Redspear |

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 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) - see the wiki page for the download (it's not yet on the Expansions Manager).
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
- Black Monk Monastery allows you to take out loans
- First Finance OXP creates the loan that allowed you to buy your spaceship
Prices
- Commodity Markets OXP replaces the single price of each commodity with a buy/sell spread (of 4-10%).
Quantities
- Random Market Quantities by Astrobe (2016) - reduces amounts on sale (best added with extra stations present)
Taxes
- Diplomancy OXP introduces taxes (and lots of other stuff too).
