What about the possibility of game-changing events that could radically change the makeup of a planet's economy?

Yeah. The number of conversations we've already had about that. That would be totally cool. Like if some huge convoy of goods gets hijacked on its way to a certain planet, then obviously that disappearing out of the economy of that planet will immediately affect that planet, right? Whatever they're producing from it will suddenly become in short supply. So those small changes will be readily carried all the time. And then we're talking about big things like more construction, or a town getting all dirty and growing weeds, people looking like hobos. That's slower.
