 Oh, yes! I've got tons of content planned for updates that will continue through 2015... A lot of good ideas have come from players...it's always been that way.

 My brain was on fire with the commodities pricing remodel. You're right when you say "different people enjoy different aspects", because I could not wait to sit down and see if my formulas worked.
Here's a quick workup I did with the new model, where prices change over time, and by sector, but change in basically predictable/logical ways (no price jumps by restarting the game, etc.). Note that "time" is measured in several hundred turns, and the prices are relative, not absolute.

  Yes, I was actually thinking of changing the name of this thread... 

 In fact I think I do need to start one called "trading" or some such, as people seem to enjoy it.
Enjoying,
