Trading in SMR

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the basic formula for trading in Space Merchant Realms:

Number of illegal goods at any port. (Port level + 3) - legal goods The
base chance of getting searched when entering a port is 15%. For each
illegal good that the port buys or sells, it is decreased by 4% to a
minimum of 3% chance for a search. Smuggling ships reduce this further
by another 4%, so you have a -1% chance of getting searched if you are
at a port that buys/sells all illegal items and are in a smuggling ship.
Max. experience per trade = ((INT(Cargo Holds/30)) +1) x 2) x Distance.
e.g. Alskant Trade Master (INT(400/30)) +1 x 2 = 28 x the distance in
sectors to the next port that, buys the item if this port is selling it,
or sells the item if this port is buying it. So if this port is selling
Lux and the closest port that buys it is 3 sectors away you can get up
to 84 exp for that trade.
