Could we potentially get some changes made so that trade is the best way to make income? Right now it seems like treasure hunting is the best and that seems odd to me. When I imagine a galactic empire I would not think they would say "We are a wealthy empire. It had nothing to do with the commerce of our planets or the trade with far off worlds. It was because every now and then we send some ships out into space to find random things. " An economy should not be based around that. It seems odd from a gameplay perspective too that focusing on production is the best way to make money. There is no downside then. You can have all the production for building up your military and being rich. With trade, there is a downside.
I want to have gameplay like the Iron Bank from Game of Thrones. They don't even have a military but are incredible~ powerful. Their wealth and ability to use that wealth makes them able to topple kingdoms and be one of the most powerful players in the world.
I wrote this inside of the patch notes area but thought it deserved its own thread as well. Thank you.
