Latos N2 & Procurement missions

Sep 20, 2015 bojansplash link
Ever since you incorporated N2 into trade network, majority of faction stations are directing all their procurement trade missions to N2.

This is completely silly since most items can be bought at other stations for a fraction of a price listed at N2 and, as it is now, procurement missions are producing a huge loss.

For example:

- 10 steel crates can be bought at xang xi for 10c
- UIT procurement mission requires you to buy 10 steel from N2 @ 200c
- upon delivery the station pays you 220c
- UIT station procurement mission loss 205c

Also, 3-5 or more system procurement missions are now nonexistent since N2 is the primary source for all existing vo trade goods.

Experiencing this too.

Although, Retrieval at Corvus offers 1400 if mission doesn't need to go to Latos N-2

With procure you do not need to go to the station advertised in the mission, so if you know somewhere cheaper to buy, do it? How is this a problem? You can end up making a hell of a lot of money if you do it right. For example, procure missions in Bractus often ask for Consumer electronics from Sedina D-14, but if you buy them from Sedina K-13 you get them cheaper, but the mission still rewards you as if you got them from D-14.

That's the deal with procure and why you can get others to bring you widgets...

Hm, ok, I'll see what we can do to remove that station from the missions.

Eh don't do that! What's going to happen when you add more stations like this? You cannot remove them all from the missions! A better change would be to make trade guild missions only look for "Locally produced" goods.

It would be better to accelerate the dynamic economy across grey.
