Limited Edition, pre-announced Rare Goods.

I would like to success a new type of rare good. Right now, rare goods have a constantly replenishing per-player stock with a per-player purchase limit.

Let's go a step further.

Let's get hyped.

Have news announcement (in game) that, say, Xihe will be releasing a limited run of their newest and most advanced and completely unique Biomorphic Companion.

This release will occur at a specific date and time.

At that time, and only once per event, 1000 tons of a new good "Limited Edition Biomorphic Companion" will be added to the market, which works like a rare good but is incredibly valuable, and only gets more valuable the further away you get. The buying price, however, is the same as the regular Biomorphic Companion.

Only players who have docked after the release time will be able to purchase the item.

There will be a limit of 1 purchase per customer.

Let's get some black friday bumper cars queue jumping mayhem going, it will be glorious.

Have this happen every few days with a different rare good, so that these select distributors have to jump around the galaxy grabbing them.

Bonus points if System Security and the no fire zones are lifted specifically for some of the release events.

It would literally be a dream come true and absolutely everything I could want from this game. Combat around stations, extreme landing procedures, pirates all over, and a good chance not a single good survives to be delivered anywhere, all in the hope to land the BIG SCORE.

This would suck for players on the other side of the planet who play the game. While you guys are eating dinner, and playing after work, us in North America are still working and vice versa (I like playing at 3am GMT, servers are not very busy). It would have to work out such that all players have a chance to get some of the bounty.

The idea is to have these announcements and events be regular things - then you'd stagger the times and places when they happen, so while some would be inaccessible to those in the wrong time zone, others will be. Not everyone needs to participate in every launch, after all.

It might also be possible for any given station to have a few staggered launches - 600 units every 8 hours over the course of a day or something.

Variety is the spice of life, so long as the details are in the announcement I think it would be fine to implement it in a bunch of different ways.
 
Space Black Friday! To hell with being able to sell at the same station though, you need to survive running for the exit with your 75% discount off-brand space TV to cash in.
