Change inflation to only be driven by the Dust income of Trading Companies, ignoring all other sources of Dust, including Dust on Empire bonuses applied after Trade Company income.


This will have a wide variety of very important effects!


- Dust buildings, skills, empire improvements, etc. will no longer reduce the value of your own money

- Inflation will only occur because players actively chose an optional mechanic to inflict it with

- No Pacifists? No Problem!

- Applying inflation to Fleet Upkeep no longer causes oscillation, and can be overcome using alternative Dust sources

- Militarists can "manage" inflation through piracy and singling out Trade Company Subsidiaries/HQ's

- It makes lore sense! Local planetary taxes and businesses don't drive galactic inflation, nor do the imperial tax structures. But the mighty Galactic Trading Companies, with their infinite growth and massive financial clout, can absolutely drive it to hurt others!


Overall, this would fix a lot of complaints about Inflation in one fell swoop.

Yeah, myself and OP were discussing this on Discord yesterday. Just by adding this and applying Inflation to ship upkeep, Inflation would serve its intended purpose instead of doing the exact opposite. PLZ devs, we need this.
