Trade Tweaks

[wakystuf]

• Tripled base dust yields from population and system level
• Reduced by 60% the benefit from trade route length
• Increased Trade Agreement upkeep from flat 50 to the following formula: 50 + 35 x (# Trade Co's) + (Empire Pop)

OLD formula System Trade Value = ([System Level] x [System Pop] x 10% + 5) x [System Trade Income Modifier] Trade Route Value = ([HQ System Trade Value] + [Subsidiary System Trade Value]) x (1 + 10% x [Route Length]) x (1 + 10% x [# Freighters]) Trade Co Value = 150 + [SUM of all Trade Route Value] x (0.75 + ([Trade Co Level] / 35) ^ 0.75)

NEW formula System Trade Value = ([System Level] x [System Pop] x 30% + 5) x [System Trade Income Modifier] Trade Route Value = ([HQ System Trade Value] + [Subsidiary System Trade Value]) x (1 + 4% x [Route Length]) x (1 + 10% x [# Freighters]) Trade Co Value = 150 + [SUM of all Trade Route Value] x (0.75 + ([Trade Co Level] / 35) ^ 0.75)

Note that those formulae aren't perfect, since a) they don't account for the flat dust and science from resource deposits and b) there are some other minor things going on in the code that I can't directly observe and therefore can't precisely quantify.
