Hi if you care I have quick suggestion for the mod.

Frst of all I love this mods idea its pretty grand XD

I was thinking that ransoming prisoners as much as its a great addon to the game and is pretty cool is a bit op and it could use a lil tweak xD
I mean you can ransom prisoners for double of their market value and the chance to sell them is pretty high too.
While if you were to sell them to a trader as slaves it would cost you food and medicals and prison space, plus you have to wait for a caravan or spaceship to show up or else pay them 600 to come over.
You could ofcourse just chopp them into pices and keep bodyparts for operations or sell them but then again it can lead to catastrphic events because of colonists beeing super emotional about it :P
And ransoming them is fast simple and brings more easy cash all you have to do is go over to comms console make a call and bobs your uncle your rich xD so not rly much point doing any of the others ;p

Ok this is the fun part xD

So i thought instead maybe cut the marekt value in half and leave it as an opening price for negotations:

Players would move the slider up or down trying to propose a price to the interested faction
and depending on the state, usfulness and position of prisoner and also maybe current relations level and ofc negotiating skill the other faction would be more or less inclined to agree, so say if :

- players sells for less than the opening price they would most cases be happy to pay and the lower the price is the more relations bonus the player would get with them ?

-or if player tries to sell for max price there would be high chance they would get outraged and the option of ransoming to them would dissapear for period of time till they cool off ;p so say like one season ?(or alrterantively just the option of ransoming the particular person would disspear for ever?). And then toss in the raid even possiblity to that too^^ Oh and the reputation penalty ofcourse xD

- or if they increase it to more reasonable price:
- Then the faction would agree but even tho plaer gets the money they would still get some small negative relations.
- Or maybe they would respond that they dont rly like that price but still be open to some negotiations and the player would be able to try to make an offer again but a bit lower? (while still ofc getting some negative points from it) up to say three times ?(Or maybe amount of trmes depending on current relations level ?) before they get outrged :P

I think if you have time and like the idea it would be a cool negotiations model addon and also it would be more balanced against other options of dealing with prisoners :)

Let me know if you like it :) and sorry if i my explanations is a bit lenghty for such simple idea ;p I am not great at writing :P

Regards
And much love xD
