Market Profile
Signal Summary
Rare goods are special commodities tied to specific source locations, limited supply, and distance-based value behaviour. They are less about bulk hauling and more about route selection.

Key Concepts
Source bound - A rare good is normally bought only from its associated location.
Limited stock - Availability is capped, so huge cargo holds are not always useful.
Distance value - Profit improves when sold far enough from the source, up to practical limits.
Field Notes
Rare goods suit smaller ships and sightseeing routes.
They can be enjoyable but usually lose to optimised bulk trading for raw credits.
