Or maybe the captains of large ships don't like to fly through asteroids to drop off mining equipment at mining bases, and drop it at nearby Ag worlds from where some smaller ship takes it to the mining base.. dunno. There's always the possibilityof middlemen in a supply chain of some sort.
Unrelated rambling: In the original you couldn't sell contraband at Perry. I find that rather strange. Soldiers never want a little tobacco? And why can you sell it at New Detroit? Surely it doesn't happen out in the open, it happens in private. It would be the same on Perry. Maybe it's just too hard to find a back-alley on Perry

I'm going back through it all and inserting the commodity in the gaps I left. maybe I'll be able to straighten it all out. HUH? I hope.
