The Design

• Cargo groups
  • Price modifiers for cargo groups
• Planet types
  • Modifiers for planet types
• Price formulas
• Availability modifiers
  • Produces [ware] - means the object (planet, ship or station) produces defined number of items per day
    • One item per defined time could be nicer to look at, but harder to implement?
  • Consumes [wares] - means the object (planet, ship or station) consumes defined number of items per day.
    • If failed should disable defined availability modifier until next success. This allows for production only if required raw materials are provided.
    • Should allow defining more than one ware with individual number.
