[quote who="Darvin3" reply="6" id="2786729"] yet if it offered the choice to attempt rushing through and enemy gravity well such would be an allowance of more freedom of choice. Except, you actually don't get anything for travelling through hostile gravity wells. Trade income is dependent ONLY one where you build your trade ports. So long as the trade ships don't die, they're irrelevent to the process.[/quote] It is ONLY ONE possible example.... Trade ships need

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="4" id="2786592"]Instead of direct management, how about just having them NOT go through hostile wells?[/quote] Why not have more options but have such things as this be the default? The trade ships could automatically make certain decisions, based upon such common sense as you mention, yet if it offered the choice to attempt rushing through and enemy gravity well such would be an allowance of more freedom of choice.

Although I do not know whether many others would consider the game East India Company to be an "advanced" economics simulator, it is currently the game I have been playing the most. It would be interesting if the next SoaSE were to incorporate some similar features to the EIC game, such as the ability to control trade ships, buy and sell specified goods, set the trade routes for individual shipping fleets, select the captains/admirals with the abilities you prefer for the given ship/fleet.

Banned for not considering that managers are the same whether they are in a private business or if they are in a government bureaucracy. The difference between capitalism, socialism, and communism is the level of control a government has over industries and resources, including determining the rationing of food among the populace. I prefer Imperial Fascism myself, but without the genocide and other crap Hitler did. If he didn't go around like a bloody Dalek with his "Exterminate! Exterminate!

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that there's at least some degree of similarity between these two games. I sort of perceive that the terrorist cell in Red Faction is similar to the Hellghast in Killzone while the ISA are similar to the EDF in Red Faction. The difference being is that in each of these games you play from the other faction's point of view. Such that in Killzone you play from the perspective of the EDF (or would that rather be the IDF?) and in R
