Galactic Market

by Val.K

Adds an ISK currency and lays the groundwork for a galactic market. Sell and buy resources flexibly, to boost your factory and economy. You can craft as usual - selling resources and importing goods is less profitable, but it scales much better! You can belt resources directly to the Market Hub without manipulators.
