Ship definitions
A lot of ship definitions in base/ini/ships.ini are incomplete:
- price, cargo hold size, jump drive and dockable specifications
- have to be added and tweaked where necessary.
+ price, cargo hold size, jump drive, dockable and movement
+ specifications have to be added and tweaked where necessary.
+
+ Note that 'mass' can not be set through the game's 'specs'
+ command. As a rule of thumb, define mass first and tweak the
+ other specs accordingly.
Cargo definitions
Add cargo definitions to ini/cargo.ini.
+Cargo models
+
+ Each cargo definition needs a model to represent the type of cargo in-game.
+
+ Required models:
+ - Iron (ore)
+ - Niobium (ore)
+ - Liquor (bottles?)
+ - Carbosteel (plating / blocks?)
+ - Superconductors (fancy magnet thing?)
+ - Optronics (optical chips)
+
Trade definitions
Add trade definitions to the world ini files.
+ The easiest way to do this is by thinking in trade routes:
+
+ - A base resource is sold at the source location, with unlimited supply
+ amount = -1
+ price = low
+ e.g. iron is mined and sold at an iron mining installation
+
+ - The resource can be sold at a good price at a target location that probably needs the resource
+ amount = 0
+ price = high
+ e.g. a carbosteel forge will buy the iron at a good price
+
+ - On the route from source to destination, the resource can be sold along the way. The price
+ increases with distance from the source location.
+ amount = 0
+ price = medium
+ e.g. the iron ore can be traded on a supply station along the route
+
+ After finishing a route, traders like to take back other profitable goods,
+ therefor it is generally a good idea to provide a trade route in the opposite
+ direction to the same area.
