As it stands now the most a player can make from trading resources is 25 experience max per trade, regardless of the amount or value or the resources being bought or sold at said port.
I propose a discussion to fully understand the risk and benefit of a tweak to this system that might increase XP yield for the user per successful haggle.
My personal opinion is this should be raised. When I used to exclusively rebang years ago I would always curse the port that told me I had to leave after attempting to haggle down resource price and failing. XP was a bonus to the cheaper price you could get towards building, or making more credits. However, they're artis that can assist that are completely ignored and underused.
I haven't played a rebang in a very long time, I have however played every new perma that has banged for quite some time and see how any amount or xp gathered can change the entire game. I dont want trading to become like "killing NPC's" as a strategy to win...but then again, why not? Shouldn't trading be as big a pay off as invasion and building?
Should trading resources XP rewards be increased?

In theory, traders would be powerful people. They are not as powerful as owners of planets or the conquerors of worlds, but they are the upper class none-the-less.

Exp for trading probably should be upped some. However, I don't think it should be upped enough so that people can go around doing nothing but trading and expect to get as much exp as builders/invaders.
Perhaps adding a multiplier from your Charisma? That would allow charisma to be worth something.

A small boost would be pretty nice.
Nothing overpowered but maybe increase it to 1-100 per trade and increase charisma's effect on haggling a touch.
Does negative rep effect haggling? If not it should have some negative influence.
