In my opinion, this is very strange, when the state is engaged in the transportation of raw materials. I do not dispute the State may be engaged in transportation of raw materials, in some cases (such as the delivery of minerals to a remote military base to which the route passes through the dangerous space), but in reality, the overwhelming share of transport by private vehicles, including delivery of strategic and military goods.
In Aurora civilian ships carrying civilian goods, passengers and installations. The question arises - why they can not carry other types of cargo? Current interface is certainly not the most luxurious, but it allows you to assign that, from, where and in what quantities in carry. A pre-existing ability to assign mineral reserve to avoid a situation where civil pelvis will remove all stocks of raw materials.
IMHO in Aurora is quite possible to make powerful system of private sector managed by AI
At least the transportation of various goods and minerals production may well be placed under the control of AI. The player, of course, too, can do this, but it is a ton of micromanagement that personally I have a distaste in 10-15 minutes. The player's task in this case is - exploration, research, planning of expansion, and of course the war.
P. S. Sorry for the Google Translate, I tried very hard not to use it, but when I read that I got, I was horrified by this and still took by Google
P. P. S. Topic is the result attempts to play a campaign without a Mass Driver
