My apologies to all and sundry for my extended absence...
Bam-bam's re-election was a traumatic experience for me. On realizing that the Barack Hussein O-SocialistTrainwreck would be continuing for another four years, I lost interest in many, many things, including Oolite...
I've recently taken another crack at RLE, and I thought that I had a good release version (v1.0) ready (finally!). Then, just a few minutes ago, I took a look at some of the good stuff that's available in the newer versions of Oolite... I'm especially interested in the staion.setMarketPrice() and staion.setMarketQuantity() methods. They look prtty darn useful! Not exactly what I had in mind when I asked for a staion.market object, but still waaaay better than nothing... My thanks to those in the development gang who brought this about.
So, I'm not going to bother with v1.0... Look for v.1.1 in, oh, let's say a week to ten days.
It's all a trainwreck these days, no matter who's "in charge".. better just to focus on other things, like Oolite!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.. RLE is one of my 'must have' OXPs.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Commander Smivs, the friendliest Gourd this side of Riedquat.
Then it really needs to be numbered 1.11, or 1.2 or something.. otherwise, if somebody reports a problem, you'll have to ask them "Are you using 1.1 version A, or 1.1 version B?"
Bump the number for EVERY revision.. no matter how minor.. (possibly excepting minor documentation/licensing changes, such as a typo fix) as it saves both you and others a lot of confusion.

I downloaded your second attempt. I like it, but I found it contains a very profitable feature. When you enter a station with a limited market (eg. a Buoy Repair Facility), and enter the market, you are able to buy goods which in the original OXP are not available there for prices between 0-1 Cr per unit. Whilst I am not against stocking up thousands of kilograms of platinum and gold for free, and dumping them at a normal market for regular prices, I still think the economic model - at least in this version - is broken.

Good call! The whole point of this OXP is to make life as a trader more challenging....
Fortunately, it's a simple one-line fix: Get v1.11 here...

My brief look at the code revealed some methods that I’m not sure will work, beyond the use of the commodities.plist file. Feel free to give it a try, I just can’t confirm whether or not it will work in its current state.

I can't pretend that any of it seems particularly important to me. With my meagre skills, I'm hardly about to start fighting with these chaps, so whether they have ball turrets or not, or whether their range is 7500 or 7200 seems somewhat irrelevant...
Will copy this to GalNavy thread for common sense reasons.
