So, I just tried to fiddle around and see what Patreus' explotation bonuses were like with respect to Trade...

5% increase to price paid for high value goods in Empire systems
5% reduction in cost for high value goods in Federal systems (and Alliance, Independent systems, cut out of shot)
So,, what's a high value good?
I just tried shipping some Palladium from a medium supply Federal extraction system to a medium demand Imperial high tech system and got 900cr/t which is expected for medium/medium, if there wasn't meant to be a 5% bonus, which should be =~ 500-700cr either side I'd have thought.
That said, I'd have also assumed the 30% increased production/consumption should've also led to a high demand for palladium in the Imperial system... so it's either not working, or "Palladium" isn't considered a high value good (?)
Is it a typo and high tech goods are meant? Anyone have any insight?
