didnt they do that in privateer? i may wrong, but if i remember that far back correctly, the market prices would drop if you took the same commodities to the same base over and over.
heres a reason y it doesnt make sense: watch manhatten for 24hrs. this is of ocurse assuming that time is the same in both universes, although its hard to tell with the sun being set in the same apot all the time...
anyways, if you watch for even 5 mins, you are likely to see dozens of large transports entering and exiting manhatten, each one with 999999 cargo space (scan them, no mods, i am serious). assuming you have the dromedary, you are dropping off 275 units of cargo every landing. in the time it takes for you to get from your source to manhatten, most likely more than 100 ships have docked and undocked, each carrying what it would take you hundreds of trips to get over. in short, you are not making even the slightest dent in manhatten's economy. no matter how many trips you make, you are out of your leauge...in fact, the more trips you make, the more time it takes, and the further ahead synth foods and universal get. the scale is just to big for 1 little ship to make any difference.
