Yes! This!!!!
Port has unlimited potential and will become a vital part of the economy if we make it as the first point of the IC goods supply chain.
Business order goods as alcohol, tobacco, food in advance and have to plan ahead. Those goods are shipped and arrive at the port where they are processed by the port employees (unloaded and unpacked from shipping containers) and taken by trucks to the businesses. Creates natural lead time.
This would create a new business type - suppliers. They would order and store larger quantities of various goods and sell them to businesses that need goods urgently with a mark-up.
Vehicle dealerships could be opened by players in addition to the server owned ones, which would order and sell cars on-spot without the need to wait.
This could be expanded a lot, both for legal and illegal organizations.
Narcotics could be shipped in containers between goods and the criminal orgazination would have to bribe port people to let it pass. Or threaten them. Or come in and take it by force.
Maybe extend it to fuel supply too? Just make the supply like this:
Cheaper, but not as much quanities - oil field > refinery > gas station.
More expensive, but unlimited - ship > port > gas station.
This has to happen @ImperiumXVII
