JESUS CHRIST YOU HAVE WON THE ARGUMENT BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO YELL. STATE YOUR POINTS IN A CLEAR AND CONCISE MANNER WITHOUT USING CAPITALS, IT KINDS OF WEAKENS YOUR ARGUMENT.

Yes, because we all know how perfectly rational you are over Steam. Note to self: Add new rule "Duck can't criticize people using caps".

Economies do change, and spices are (*were) worth their weight in gold. However [s]even[/s] new materials could still be easily found, or possibly manufactured with enough understanding of physics. Space is pretty big, their (*there) is (*are) millions of stars in the galaxy. It be (*is) fully possible to find new materials easily. Unless it's something only one nation knows how to create somehow, but even then that does not necessitate a galaxy wide trade network, that just necessitates a few freighters and trade deals here and there. I am not saying a (*an) economy would not exist, I am just saying it would be vastly different then (*than) how we understand them.

And no referenconium was actually found on the Roman's homeworld, and most of it is located in their home system.

Okay, I'll just go with you radically changing everything you said as well as the fact that you just conveniently put a rare material in your home system and only your home system after specifically saying that anything could be found anywhere easily. 

Anyways, you're not allowed to call people out on any kind of realism anymore. None of your nations would ever function without mind control technology, AND YOU HAVE FUCKING PONIES, so you have no right to lecture someone on economics. That's going in the OP too: Duck can't call people out on being unrealistic.

Besides, what problem do you have with a galactic trade network? You certainly didn't have a problem with it when he first joined.
