Even though I dont talk to Dr. Evil anymore he recommends that for this game to be truly evil the game should have a new political party. It would be called the smuggler party. This would allow privateers to be built. These privateers are expensive and would follow these guidelines. First they can only sell one product.
One of the following: drugs for unhappy planets, guns for planets at war and food for broke planets.
Now you can only send one privateer to each planet. As the planet would take what it needs you dont decide what he sells. But you do decide your profit margin. If you take 50 percent or whatever the captain would upgrade his ship accordingly (weapons and whatnot some captains would buy weapons some cargo space.) If you can get him to develop his ship to a certain point you can use him on another planet if there is no market on the original anymore. If not the ship is eliminated. If he gets to another point he settles on a planet and becomes a minor that will always be friendly to you. That is unless your party gets wacked out of congress so keep it real. Profit margins would be pretty good maybe 300-500 bc a full route. Privateers can also be whacked without getting into a war.
Yes no? How about it Frogboy........... :notsure:
