Original concept by Cold Void. Rumored FL had this all the time and CV found it and got it working 
This is for SINGLEPLAYER ONLY
The example here is for the Battleship Missouri. You need to add the variance line to every base to see it work properly.
This code needs to go into you base ini files. DATA\UNIVERSE\SYSTEMS\LI01\BASES
[BaseInfo]
nickname = Li01_03_Base
start_room = Deck
price_variance = 0.001
[Room]
nickname = Bar
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_03_Bar.ini
[Room]
nickname = Deck
file = Universe\Systems\Li01\Bases\Rooms\Li01_03_Deck.ini
What this does is vary the prices of any commodity, weapon or ship sold on a base each time you land. The lowest number you can have is 0.001. I've been messing around using 0.1 giving varying prices of between 10 and 1000+ per item depending on initial commodity price. In mods that have high prices for items i'd keep the variance a lot lower.
While not a totally dynamic economy, as it is not dependant on other items being present to affect the price, as in say X3, it gives the impression of a working dynamic economy and is a vast improvement over the pricing structure in the original game.
Here are some number variables and their meaning
price_variance = 0.001 - gives a 0.1% difference in price
price_variance = 0.01 - gives a 1% difference in price (not the most realistic but no abuse)
price_variance = 0.1 - gives a 10% difference in price (most realistic and open to abuse)
Try to keep the variance number reasonably low. I personally wouldn't use anything bigger than 0.01 (1%) but i will be experimenting with this to try different values.
