The truth of the matter is that the time (layout, new art, rules updates, etc) it takes to update something that needs nothing more than tweaking is very costly, and if the 1E book works so well, there's less 'need' to do it, because sales would probably be low.
I've got Book 7, Merchant Prince, it's a very hard read and it's pehaps one of the reasons I've steered clear of heavy merchant interest (beyond Freight/Passengers) in my games. We work far too much with spreadsheets at work, I don't want to do it in my hobby time!
So what do you folks think to the proposed ideas for Trade in v1.1.1.?
