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.

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.

In-system trade

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

Loans

Prices

Taxes
