Passenger Mission Arrival Point Algorithm needs to apply to Commodities Market upon return

[Justinian Octavius]

One of the side effects of the algorithm for rewarding passenger missions based upon the arrival point distance was that it killed off the commodities trade for many commanders. Thus, imho, when the algorithm returns it needs to apply to prices on the Commodities Market as well.

Good point. Everything's more expensive in Alaska for a reason - everything's imported and has to go a lot farther than it does elsewhere.

Makes sense! Grand idea!

That makes sense- hence its not going to be implemented....

This sounds like a very nice idea that could greatly benefit trade gameplay!

I agree that passenger missions, trade missions and courier missions need to be scaled off the commodities market, and include a distance (# jumps or FSD time components) in their rewards, but that doesn't mean any individual mission should be paying more that a few million max.
