Disembodied wrote: People's handwavium varies, but for me, I've always assumed that the 127-unit limit (it applies to kg and g, as well as t) is a restriction placed on individual ships and individual transactions. Big commodity deals are possible through the cargo contracts market, and that's where the bulk deals are done. The player is an independent trader, a small-time player in a market dominated, for the most part, in the safe systems, by large shipping lines.
That works for me. I bow to your handwavium!
Disembodied wrote: I'd be wary of allowing the player to make dents in the market, myself ... these things can lead to exploits. Plus, I have to say, making the player's actions so visibly influential runs the risk of reducing the game's sense of scale. The player starts to become a big wheel, a major driver of the game universe; I prefer the feeling of being an insignificant part, lost in the middle of something huge.
[...]The important thing is to achieve a balance of risk to reward, of effort put in for money gained - "realism" should be waaay down the list of prioities!
Yea I definitely agree on both points here. Immersion beats realism any day, and you don't need realism for immersion.. often it can work in the opposite direction.

I just had a quick look at this, and got myself a bounty for blackmarket dealing, of which I was informed - perhaps the player should not be informed?

Suggest changing this msg += " but some bounty also to your head!"; to msg += " but watch your back!";

is English-ified, thanks to Cody!
He found also that custom HUDs can produce
misplaced F8 message . To avoid writing custom market screens into all HUDs I suggest to install [wiki]MarketObserver[/wiki] which already do this and fix the problem.

That link is wrong - it's missing the
_OXP bit.
