What Trade Rules Have You Used Since January, 2014?

[robject]

If you've used trade rules (or not) since 1/2014, let everyone know which ones you've used (or none).

The rules you've used can be heavily house-ruled, as long as they're grounded in a particular rule set.

Being mostly a MT man, I used to use Don McKinney's variant for MT (though I also like MgT and its trade rules).

I like both Wil's and Don's MT variants.

I don't know about Will's

I only ever use CT LBB2

I don't know what Rob's on about either - because I generally don't use MT's trade. (I use T20's, adapted back to the task system.) I modify tasks, slightly - Att/3 (round down, instead of Att/5), TN's 4/8/12/16/20.

My variant I'd been working on (but haven't used) was to add prices to the items in the MT trade lists, starting with the stuff on the CT and T20 price lists. But I've not gotten that into useful, yet. Other distractions keep me from getting it done.

Edit: I notice that Don's actually accomplished what I intended to do, albeit with slightly lower fidelity (to MT) than I was aiming for ... So, I think that's what Rob was referring to.

Note also: my notes are the core of what Gareth used for MGT1's trade goods list. That's why I got the special mention in the credits.

I don't suppose my Trade Tables are what you're looking for?
==> Tavonni Repair Bays
==> House Rules
==> Trade Tables

No. I was going through 1976 and 1977 price lists (esp. spot market prices) and rounding to nearest $100... as those matched for many items on the CT list, so I was looking for the others on the MT lists. Don's version collapses them down, and you noted a different research methodology.

Rob might be looking for them tho'. I'm not looking. I'm satisfied with T20's trade tables.

1981 edition & TTB Book 2 by default, but with rates set per parsec, not per jump, for sanity's sake.

Same here, with premiums for speed and 'savings' for shadiness and less reliability.
