When you're exploring and you've charted a wormhole, once you're ready to sell the data, can you edit the data so that anybody who bought it exits the jump point earlier, wherever you want them to, perhaps into the arms of a waiting fleet?
TL;DRSabotaging or editing sold jump point data isn't currently planned; charted data would be private, tagged to you, and shareable with friends or sellable at a price matching its value.
At the moment, I don't think we have the conception of you being able to basically sabotage jump point data. I mean, it's a nice idea, but at the moment we've got a lot of other things to do. I think the idea would be you chart it, it's basically tagged inside your nav computer as charted by you, and now you have the ability to share it with your friends, or you can sell it to a service that will pay you money for it.
Yeah, and conceptually the mechanic will wind up working just like a whole lot of other stuff. If you chart a wormhole, if you discover the location of a comet, if you discover the location of an asteroid field, then assuming you're working on your own and not for an organization where the discovery of that is automatically shunted to that group, that's private information. That information has value. You can go to someone that will actually buy that, and based upon what that information is, they'll offer you a price commensurate with the value. And so in that regard, a wormhole to a system that's a shortcut, that basically makes it much easier for freighters to get from point A to point Z without having to take the circuitous route, has more value than potentially some of these other paths.
