Some of those items look familiar... I bet Marc imported some into T5.
The Book 3 list is at times perhaps TOO low level. For example, metals are broken down, as are vehicles, and ammunition is separate from weapons (even though in that case they have the exact same characteristics).
I admit it's hard to keep the list below 100 items... here's 58. If I can keep it around 64 I'll be happy.
So I dug through this list and compared it to the other lists of good (book 2, Book 3, T20, GT:FT, real world sources). When I read through the list I found a list of 21 items that seemed to be redundant, and/or not really trade type
items.
Code:
Branded Commodities => Commodities
Contemplatives => Art
Decorations => Art
Disposables => Commodities
Educationals => Data, Art
Encapsulants => Industrial Materials
Ephemerals => Descriptor
Excretions => Organics
Exotics => Descriptor
Fauna
Flora
Insidiants => Industrial Materials
Insulants => Industrial Materials
Magnetics => Equipment,Tools
Obsoletes => Descriptor Equipment, Tools
Osmancies => Art
Photonics => Equipment, Tools
Reparables => Descriptor Equipment, Tools
Secretions => Organics
Sparx => Crystals
Tactiles => Art
I added four (generic) items back in to the list:
Commodities
Consumer goods
Live Flora/Fauna
Structures
This takes the list to 41 items.
Next: Equipment, Machinery, Tools. These three items are too generic and overlap with each other. I would suggest combining these and breaking them down by useful types:
Agricultural Equipment and Tools
Computers
Industrial Equipment and Tools
Medicinal Equipment and Tools
Mining Equipment and Tools
Office machines
Power Generation Equipment and Tools
Scientific Equipment and Monitoring tools
This takes your list to 45 items. I'm stuck now because I can't add new items that are not already part of the more generic categories. There is an equipment classification code table (T5.09 p609). Which may be used to decompose items into less generic categories.
For example:
Food (Delicacies, Drinkable Lymphs, Decoctions, Fermented Fluids, Flavorings, Juices, Liquor, Meats, Nectars, Nostrums, Nutraceuticals, Nutrients, Spices, Tisanes, Wines)
Industrial Materials (abrasives, biologics, gases, ices, dyes, minerals, isotopes, carbon, catalysts, chelates, corrosives, hydrocarbons, dusts, silanes, sludges, radioactives, fluidics, metals, allotropes, alloys)
These two could be divided into as many categories as you would like.
