Errr, haven't posted here in a while, apologies.
The heart of all the trade issues is the pricing algorithm, I've found what I think the bug is, and it should be fixed very soon.
Scripts -- Yeah, I don't know.. The nature of my game is that it's scriptable, and I can either get super angry at people who write scripts, and make their lives miserable, or I can go with it and see what happens. Several people like that aspect, and I flipped the coin, and decided "scripts ok!". Zootcat isn't a programmer, and as far as I know he's not using scripts, and he's towards the top of most of the scoreboards.
I apologize for experimenting with the game all the time, I'm just trying to find the mix of stuff. If your empire is too ungainly, and you want to start over, I'm more than happy to restart anyone who wants it -- there are still plenty of stars left in the galaxy, even with Heirulf and Ik spamming arcs all over the place.
And I'm working on making it better!
