Note: Phkb has updated New Cargoes (v.2.0) and it is finally compatible with Smugglers. New Cargoes dovetails with the information given to you on the F7 screen by the Famous Planets OXP. And there is also a tutorial for it (New Cargoes Trading Advice).
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 oxps which introduce a focus on just one aspect of economics.
Black Markets
This table currently excludes Phkb's Black Market & Smugglers OXPs. They too have a major affect on trade and economics, but are not directly comparable with the above, since they work on prohibiting trade (thus encouraging smuggling and a black market) which then impacts massively on pricing.
- Black Market - Adds black markets to most Rock Hermits and some other stations (contains much of what was in the original Smugglers OXP)
- Smugglers - Makes any commodity potentially illegal to import in various systems, and adds equipment and contracts for those interested in smuggling goods outside normal legal channels.
Geography
- BlOomberg Markets creates sudden changes in commodity prices which are geographic & time-limited 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).
Other
- Market Script Interface - Phkb's auxiliary OXP to sort out conflicts between other market-script OXPs
- New Deal - an unfinished OXP with a new trading model for Oolite
