New delivery mission logic - cargo depot - destination starport landing pad size

[Spaceturtle]

Hmm, just checked with my supplier and asked him, since I couldn't finish my delivery of monitors for a couple of days because the customer closed early if he would buy them back off me, and I would be back in a few days to buy them back. Guess what he said, I won't repeat it here but if you want a trading simulation then you really need to consider at least some real world scenarios, you buy a load of gear you can't get rid of you make a loss, that's what happens sometimes. It costs suppliers to store stuff, it costs suppliers to load and unload, it costs suppliers in paperwork, tax etc to do that sort of thing so I would suggest, if you really want a feature where the supplier is obligated to take back the stuff you purchased then it's done so at a loss, to you.

And I would really like to know what "other" games that are attempting to simulate a trader situation actually allow this, because off-hand I can't really think of one.

1. You bought goods which placed them at your free disposal, you can trade these goods to whomever you want for whichever price you chose. If you got yourself into a mission (i.e.: a contract of delivery) where you simply cannot deliver the goods nilly willy to whomever you like but MUST deliver them to a specific recipient you should be made aware of your contract parameters, lack of space being a major one. Failing that you should be able to do what ANY real world delivery worker would do in that situation which is to take the stuff back to the depot and deliver it when the situation has changed.
Though you are probably the type that doesn't mind if the UPS-driver takes your parcel to the nearest market and sells its contents to the highest bidder, because you didn't open the door. >.<
2. I assume that failing to deliver your cargo to your customer on time, you did not take the monitors off your truck and loaded them into you Mini Cooper or whatever car you drive privately, nor did you take the truck home from the depot and parked it outside your door to do grocery shopping and weekend family trips in ... just to avoid ... uhm ... Monitor-market speculations.

Look man i am not trying to be toxic, but even you should understand how little sense that post makes.
