How is the update to 8.0 coming along? I'd love to test this out, but unfortunately i've already gone off to the betas

Should be compatible with AI Economy Buff.

As a rule of thumb, if the other mod is only modifying the universe generation to help the economy, it is very very likely this mod will work with the other mod with no problems.

Is it also compatible with AI Economy Buff 7.0 Re-mastered?

No conflicts! Both sides are modifying different files.

More specifically, deadair_eco only changes the ware price/volume, and has nothing to do with how traders work.

Does this mod conflict with deadair_eco?

I have heard that the 8.0 update contains changes on some of the trading scripts, but we will wait and see.

Numbers were adjusted to hopefully reduce lag spikes.

Most notably, the hidden timer to wait for the Thinking Cap has been increased.

Well you can check my modifications (do a quick diff) https://pastebin.com/jGJVe9kA

itt's just to see iif i see a difference and be on the safe side for now, i'm playing lots of battle in slideshow mode otherwise

Yes, your analysis is correct, but I believe most NPC traders are not station traders running the "trade.find.commander" script. (Some NPC traders are station traders as discovered from my quick testing, but should not be too much.)

Then, the main source of station traders would probably be from the player.

But still I think I will adjust the timings later to spread out the calculation a bit.

when you reduce the time between trades + add randomly some trade range even on S ships it can take it's toll if the map is expanded and you have thousands of small traders per faction, i saw a noticeable difference.

But i will investigate more i think another mod is the problem, for now i edited your mod a bit to do a middle ground solution and if i find another way to gain back performance i'll re-sub the mod as is
