Also, in terms of prices, the further down the list ont he port screen (further to the right on the maps) the good is the more money it is potentially worth (dependant on distance) so luxury goods will generally make you more money than say textiles. For an alternative description see Wonks " H...

Deke, this is indeed the current accuracy formula in use in SMR.

Most of the formulae have been taken from your page with such formulae on. So the drone launch formula for example is:

To clarify some issues here: No Fly Zone, in SM, port upgrading was achieved by throwing money at a port, HOWEVER in SMR this is not the case and port upgrades are created by XP gained from trading at a port. This means there is no quick way to accelerate the upgrade process like there was with SM. ...
