Credit unions and trading AI
Banks arrive, and ship death spills part of your wallet.
- Added three credit unions with varying withdrawal fees: Hollow Vault Combine, Astra Mutual, and Meridian Reserve, none tied to a faction.
- Added a Bank tab at stations; each station hosts at most one union, so your money is reachable only where it has a branch.
- Changed ship death to spill 10% of your on-ship wallet at the wreck, lootable like cargo. Banked credits never drop.
- Added wealth intel to ship scans: a deep scan reads how loaded a pilot is, an active ping sharpens it to a rough figure.
- Changed traders to buy gluts cheap, haul across systems, and sell where prices pay, moving real station stock and prices.
- Raised trader wealth caps so a long-haul trader can become a rich target.
