I've been playing around with the trade system from LBB7 Merchant Prince and realized I need a clarification on something. Well, two things, actually.
First, in LBB2, page 8, it describes how to determine the number and size of cargos availabe at each world. First you roll on the 'Cargo Available at Source World' table. That gives you the NUMBER of cargos. Then you roll a die again (for each cargo) and multiply it, depending on whether it's Major, Minor or Incidental to determine the SIZE (in tons) of each cargo. In LBB7, it doesn't say anything (that I could find) about the table giving number of cargos or the 'determining the size' thing. The way LBB7 reads to me is that the roll on the table is the number of tons available. So, if using the LBB7 system, do we still consider the result of the table to be cargos and roll for each one's size?
Also, when you are buying speculative cargo, you roll on the 'Cargo - Available at Source World' table (pg. 39) to find out how much cargo is available to purchase. When just carrying cargo for others (at the 1,000Cr/ton rate), do you still use the same table to determine how much is available?
**EDIT** Also, the 'Cargo Available at Source World' table only goes up to Population A. If you have a world with Population D, do you continue to increase the DM, or is it A and higher gives you a +6 DM?
