Re: [Openme-developers] DI and Trading

[Oliver D. B. <oli...@ma...>]

I agree completely, i'll raise gate trading to 20~25 turns and tweak the
formula. The 25 turns is based on the fact that gate trading allows any ship
size , no risk of misjumping, and that jump ships do not have veyr big cargo
holds. Correct me if this is wrong
