Civil Tradegoods, Planetarytrading Hub, Shuttle and civiltransportaion
Hello everyone, i really like X4 but sometimes i'm missing something.
I'm glad that their is finally a Fusionreactor mod, but what about pablictransportation etc..

I hope that someone like to read and made a Mod for this.
My idea is to create a Mod for public transport and Subcompany trade.

Public transport: You should be able to build shuttle or assign a ship of yours to shuttle service.
the shuttle service should be able to transport civilist from station to station, like a taxi system.
The NPC fraction will order your shuttle service and then your assigned shuttle will start to work.
for that their shoul be a Station modul called Shuttlehub i guess. I would also good to let your shuttles work for your own fraction.
Subcompanytrade: this is like normal trade but with the difference that an NPC fraction can hire you for their goods transportaion. In that case you will work as a carrier for their need. If you need a hub for that is to be ask, but i like the idea to let you ships work for other fraction transportation service get some of the win. if the orders are done your ships should go back to their assign hub.

Some other idea are planetary trading through a orbital tradinghub. in this way you can trade with coloniazied planets to some extent and can trade special civilgoods which are not needed for ships construction. In this way you can help the population on a Planet to grow even colonis or new terraformed planets.
It would be funny to build a orbitaladministration centre where you can manage your own planet development procces and through the shuttle hub help the civilist to get to other planets.

In that way you can terraform a unhabital planet in your own system and manage the planets need, and through special planets goods like jewelry or cars etc. you can trade with the planet or sell the vanilla goods.

In that way possible habitable planets will get a mors strategic value and with the establishing of publictransportation and Subcompanytrade you can also help the grow of the galaxy without investing in the amor-industrie. If planetary bombaredment is needed, i don't konw perhaps not.

So that are my suggestions for a more economic based game.
What do you think? to create a mod for this is it possible?
